Saw the somewhat amusingly named Insidious: Chapter 2 today – the sequel (you don’t say!) to the movie Insidious (which was an effective but not groundbreaking little horror flick). This is a direct sequel… even starting with something you rarely … Continue reading
For some crazy reason, went to see an opening night showing of the new teen fantasy/horror flick The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones… based on a highly mediocre novel without an ounce of originality that wasn’t borrowed from a mish-mash … Continue reading
Saw Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters… sequel to the first Percy Jackson flick that was pretty meh (but Uma Thurman as Medusa was cool)… I’m probably deeply wrong, but I kind of enjoyed this sequel… it wasn’t terrible which is … Continue reading

So… classing it up in a goofy storyline, Aaron Eckhart plays the Frankenstein monster in the so-very-serious action/sf flick I, Frankenstein. A movie that tries real hard… tries to be good, tries to be some kind of amalgam of Underworld … Continue reading
I saw the horror flick (presented by Guiermo Del Toro) Mama – starring Not Olivia Wilde (it’s Jessica Chastaine with black hair and always-on eye-shadow… looking nothing like she does in current interviews or in Zero Dark Thirty) and Jamie … Continue reading
