“I am not going to rant about the lack ideas in Hollywood and the trend of recycling 80′s movies”, is what I thought when writing this review, but as you can read, it was stronger then me. First of all, Anton Yelchin is good only playing one role: confused but smart kid, everything else is [...]

Our name is Legion for we are Many! Updated!
With the MegaUpload and MegaVideo being raided by the FBI and SOPA, the war has begun. Like a script from a science fiction movie, The Corporations started to enforce their rules in an effort to make even more money and cage and imprison the minds and later bodies of the entire humanity. Anonymous attacked a [...]

Lock-Out new Luc Besson movie
It turns out that new Luc Besson movie is going to be an updated version of Escape From New York, judging from the trailer. Starring Guy Pearce (L.A. Confidential, Ravenous, Memento) and pretty girl Maggie Grace ( Taken, Faster,{and then} Lost) and one of my favourite bad/russian guys Peter Stormare, it has basically the same plot as Carpenters masterpiece [...]

Seven Psychopaths coming in 2012
I just love these titles, suggesting that there will be a gathering of some sort, and when the people gathering are psychopaths you know that only good things can come out of it (we laughed, we tortured, good times . Directed by In Bruges director Martin McDonagh, it is going to be a mix of [...]

Terminator 5: Destiny Unknown
OK, the first Terminator was really good for its time, introducing a relatively known concept with a strong lead (Schwarzenegger), and the second part was just so nineties cool. I consider both of them movies that I can watch anytime (anytime, anytimeee…) anywhere, the third installment was relatively watchable and the fourth was pushing it. [...]

The Darkest Hour new Science Fiction movie from Timur Bekmambetov
I hope they die, I hope they all fucking die! Another mainstream crappy movie starring some attractive and highly fuckable teenagers who somehow survived the end of the fucking world. Well, I guess disasters, aliens, criminals and others just love pretty people, and they leave them alone to fuck up there plans. This reminds me [...]

The Thing 2011 is not a remake of The Thing 1982 but a prequel
I had no fucking idea that one of my favourite movies is in the butchering shop, but that first awkward feeling of milking remake soon went away as I kept reading and found out that this is a prequel. Much like the Prometheus (Alien sort of prequel) this new movie will focus on the events [...]

World War Z movie coming in 2012
I guess you figured out by now that there is an ongoing zombie movie infestation (and with The Walking Dead series their trying to branch out), and one of the most popular zombie books is about to be turned into a movie. Max Brooks, not to be mistaken with Mel Brooks , is a writer [...]

After District 9 comes Elysium, not a sequel
After great success that Neill Blomkamp had with District 9 (that was bonerefic) he decided that his next project will be Elysium, also a science fiction movie but not connected with D9. The story is set 150 years into the future on another planet, and it will have the similar vibe to D9, in socio-political way. So [...]

Hyperion movie coming…
Based on the masterpiece written by Dan Simmons (if you have not read them, now is the time, especially if you like science fiction) this movie was supposed to come out in 2012, but now the release date has been pushed to 2013. The director will be Scott Derrickson (The Day the Earth Stood Still, [...]

Prometheus, will he get away with the fire?
It has been know for a while now that Ridley Scott, and greedy movie studios wanted to continue with the Alien franchise, especially since Predators did so well. Some smelled money and some smelled opportunity. So far we know that this movie (or movies since there could be two of them) is a prequel to an [...]
Well, if you’ve seen one Final Destination movie, you’ve seen them all, and number five is no exception. The special effects are on a pretty good level, they are quite brutal and graphic and I liked that very much, so be sure that this is not some straight-to-DVD bullshit movie. The acting is average with [...]
Can one great idea (presumably not stolen) be the basis of a great movie, is the question, and the answer yes, but that idea cannot be the only thing in the movie! In Time has that idea, but the rest of the movie is full of plot holes, and “suspend belief” moments. Written and directed [...]
With all these famous actors this movie could not be bad, and not to mention director Steven Soderbergh (Erin Brockovich, Traffic). But before you get all excited a friendly warning, do not watch the trailer, since it is very misleading (as most of them are nowadays), just trust me and check this movie out. This [...]
I just love British cinema, their distinct sense of humor, and tragedy and when you add to that excellent actors, I believe that we have a winner. With the next generation of British actors taking over from old school, I think that there are more and more talented actors and directors out there. This movie [...]
This is a remake of a less known movie Ha-Hov, about three Mossad (CIA of Israel) agents and their hardships with a escaped Nazi doctor. I don’t know who made the poster for this movie, but whoever was that he made a fatal flaw portraying it as an espionage thriller with lots of action and [...]
Starring Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman and directed by Joel Schumacher (The Number 23, Phone Booth, 8MM) I had high hopes for this movie, but it turned out to be average hostage situation flick with characters that I would steal from for being douchebags. A rich guy, obsessed with his work, aging wife and a troubled [...]
“Hey Sweden! They’re not Swedish, Mac. They’re Norwegian.” Just after the release of this movie I checked out the buzz and it was bad, “true fans” of the “original” movie kept whining about this version. Now, after I watched the new 2011 The Thing, I can say that it’s good, really good, and definitely worth [...]
It is pretty hard to transform a good book into a movie, but if it works it is usually pretty amazing. The autobiography of an infamous British drug dealer Howard Marks was a bestseller, and it is a pretty logical idea to turn it into a movie. But, although the beginning of this movie was [...]
Continuing with the mildly entertaining movies, next is Father of Invention. Although the poster and Kevin Spacey were promising, the movie turned out to be average but still watchable, arguably only because of the lead actor. Being a great fan of infomercials, I expected much more from this movie, maybe a more complex plot and [...]
Advertised as a new masterpiece, coming to us from Steven Spielberg and involving aliens this movie is exactly the same as its title. Even history channel plugged it into its show Ancient Aliens, or they used it for promotion of the show, nevertheless this circle-jerk was pretty lame. First of all there is no way [...]
After a couple a beers I decided to check out this new comedy, expecting Paul Rudd to be an incredibly annoying hippy that you wanna punch in the face repeatedly, possibly with an acoustic guitar. And whats up with him anyways, did you know that he is 42 years old, and he looks like he’s [...]
See No Evil, Hear No Evil and the title says it all, in this crazy and hilarious comedy. Possibly one of the best comedies of the eighties, this movie features Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder doing what they do best. Although at first glance it may seem that this is just a comedy without brains, [...]
I know, I know… As soon as you see the poster and the title of the movie you can guess that it is a dumb college comedy banking on nudity, penis and fart jokes with Carmen present to “spice” things up. And you are completely right, but sometimes you wanna see something dumb and filled [...]
I am not that much familiar with Ireland and their troubles, although I am sure, we all heard of IRA and their cause. Although this might seem as a movie that is directed towards that small portion of audience that totally understands the subject and can get all the small things that are present, it [...]
The Change-Up is another mainstream comedy with some rather zany elements that try to put it in that outrageous comedy genre. Yes, there are some great and totally unexpected scenes that are really funny but at its core this still remains a pretty PG comedy. Directed by David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers, Shanghai Knights) it uses [...]
Directed by Nick Cassavetes (Alpha Dog, She’s So Lovely, My Sister’s Keeper) John Q is a rather controversial movie about health-care in America. It seems that this movie has been pushed aside due to its subject, and we are here to correct that error. First of all this script is quite real and I believe [...]
Hey lets mix up bank robbery, romance, action, comedy and mystery in one movie! Sounds quite interesting, doesn’t it? But, in reality, this has to be done with great precision and perfect script with solid acting on top of all that, and in Flypaper we see how this mixture almost made it. First of all, [...]
Directed by David Cronenberg (A History of Violence, The Fly, Naked Lunch) Scanners launched his career and got him out of the low-budget movie section and into an experimental horror department (but with a budget). This movie will also be remembered as a start the career of Michael Ironside, a lovable bad guy with an [...]
This is Sidney Lumet’s (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Find Me Guilty) last movie, and it is certainly worth watching. It belongs to the category of movies where things just go wrong for the characters, and unlike others where there is a humorous and almost silly underlaying, here nothings is funny or entertaining, it’s just raw [...]
