49: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button



David Fincher directs Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton in this tale of a man who, annoyingly, begins ageing backwards. Fincher… Continue

Orphaned at an early age, Peter Parker (Toby Maguire) lived in Queens, New York with his beloved Aunt May (Academy-Awards®) nominee Rosemary Harris) and Uncle Ben (Academy Awards® winner Cliff Robertson). Peter leads the life of a normal student, working as a photographer at the Daily Bugle under the tutelage of publisher J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons), pining after the beautiful Mary Jane… Continue

By the end of his film Jon Favreau’s Iron Man is a light and fluffy character, a superhero colored in with bright bits of crayon, but he doesn’t start out that way. Ironically it’s early on in the story when Tony Stark, the man inside the bright red suit, is still a carefree playboy and globe-trotting arms merchant that he has the most edge. It’s there that Favreau’s superhero movie works best, as Stark is… Continue

The new Incredible Hulk movie couldn’t be more different to its 2003 predecessor . . .



Few movies had as drastic a change in box office fortunes as Ang Lee’s 2003 Hulk movie. In its first weekend in the USA, Hulk earned a promising $62 million. The weekend after that it fell sharply to $18 million, and then to $8 million the weekend following that! Bad word-of-mouth sunk the film: it simply… Continue

It's a feeling I wish I experienced at the movies more often. The credits roll, and my head feels like it's going to explode. I leave the theater pumped, walking on air, wanting -- no, needing -- to yack over the film then and there. I feel like I could write not just a 1000-word review but an entire book about the film.



And there it was at the end of Unbreakable. I don't think it's… Continue

If the first Gremlins was striving for populist thrills, its sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, is one for the film and pop culture buffs. Chock full of in-jokes and homage, this sequel would be little more than a glorified mess if not for the fact that there is a great deal of wit and funny bits behind all of the unrelenting mayhem. It's a demented, frenzied, and unfocused effort on the part of director… Continue

A gang of marauding critters overruns a picture-perfect small town. In a night of mayhem and hilarity, the Gremlins destroy everything in sight. This hit from the 1984 has lost none of its ability to frighten and entertain. Both a dark comedy and a cultural commentary, director Joe Dante's creation adds up to much more than a monster flick.



In the heart of Chinatown, Billy's dotty dad discovers a… Continue

On August 20th, 1973, police were dispatched to the remote farmhouse of Thomas Hewitt, the former head-skinner at a local slaughterhouse in Travis County, Texas. What they found within the confines of the cryptic residence was the butchered remains of 33 human victims, a chilling discovery that shocked and horrified a nation in what many still refer to as the most notorious mass murder case… Continue

The Master of Horror unleashes everything you were ever afraid of.







Good old Stephen King. For some reason I feel warm and fuzzy knowing I've lived in the peak time period of the modern master of the macabre. While I haven't read all his books or seen all the movies, I do respect the guy and think he's got one hell of a storytelling gene bobbing around his family pool. In the realm… Continue

Opening with spectacular aerial shots of a beautiful, mountainous landscape, Stanley Kubrick's horror classic THE SHINING sucks the viewer into his frightening tale with quiet, relaxing visuals--but the ominous soundtrack warns that all is not right at the gorgeous Overlook Hotel. Based on Stephen King's best-selling novel, the film stars Jack Nicholson at his eyebrow-raising best in his portrayal of… Continue
