New Movie Reviews

   Posted by: admin   in Uncategorized

Benny’s Video(1992) – 8/10. Another extremely disturbing and haunting picture from Michael Haneke. He really knows how to make the audience feel isolated and terrified.

Dead-Alive(1992) – 10/10. Before Peter Jackson decided to make over stuffed “epic” films, he made a few awesome gore films. Widely considered the goriest movie ever made, this one does not disappoint.

The Eye(2002) – 10/10. Let me make it clear that this is the original Japanese version and not that piece of shit that starred Jessica Alba. With that said, this is one of the only films that has physically affected me. There are so many terrifying scenes.

Battle Royale II(2003) – 4/10. Such a disappointment after the pure brilliance of the first film. There is too much cheese and way too much action. A little more storyline would have been nice.

The Men Who Stare at Goats(2009) – 2/10. A boring, moronic mess that is a complete wannabe of a Coen Brothers films. Don’t see it, don’t even rent it.

Wide Awake(1998) – 10/10. A forgotten masterpiece from M. Night Shyamalan that I urge you all to see. I hadn’t seen it before this week but I was pleasantly surprised.

2012(2009) – 1/10. Even worse than a Michael Bay film, yes, it is possible. While it boasts being about the biggest disaster ever, the film in itself is a disaster. The dialogue is awful, the CGI is annoying and it never gives the audience a break from its unecessary drama.

Night of the Creeps(1986) – 8/10. A very fun horror comedy. The atmosphere is great and the characters are awesome. By the way, Tom Atkins rocks!

Battle Royale(2000) – 10/10. Probably my all time favorite Japanese film. It’s disturbing, heartfelt and in your face. If you haven’t seen it, I dare you to do just that.

Donnie Darko(2001) – 5/10. While it is dark and sinister, I don’t see how this little film is anything more than a wannabe David Lynch picture. I guess it’s David Lynch for scene kids. Either way, I don’t think it deserves its cult status.
