How Important is the Cinema, for Kids?
During the intermission of the Ultraman Double Bill at the Royal Cinema this weekend, I noticed that there was a handful of kids hanging around in the lobby with their parents. All of the kids had giant grins on their faces and a few of them actually had Ultraman...
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter – Review
"You watched them all over again?" a number of friends asked this week. "Yes, I did" I would say sadly. "Why?" The idea of being a completest means nothing in this world. With so much stuff to absorb, being able to say "I did it all," rings like a broken bell in an...
Trailer Trauma 2: Drive-In Monsterama (REVIEW)
I have been of two minds when it comes to trailer compilations. On one hand, it's always nice to have a curated collection of trailers to play in the background at a party, but on the other hand it's difficult for me to justify paying 30+ dollars on a bunch of...
The Watcher (2000)
You may have been browsing through Netflix recently and seen a new thriller called The Watcher. Sure, the poster looks interesting, with a woman’s face in a bird’s silhouette, but do not be fooled! The superior The Watcher came out sixteen years ago! And have you seen...
“The Good, the Bad, and the Let Me See If I Can Even Remember This” – Part 2
Okay, let’s move on from all the hate and start getting into the good stuff. We’re not quite at “the best of”, but almost, I promise. First though, I have to have some You Gotta Love Them movies, movies that weren’t amazing but weren’t bad either. Some people might...
Re-watching Miami Connection and then watching it again.
Re-watching Miami Connection and then watching it again. By Emily Milling I never ever get tired of watching Miami Connection and I show it to almost everyone I know, whenever the opportunity arises. Why? Because the quotability factor is high, the bizarre multi-plot...
Resident Evil: Retribution is Broken
Resident Evil: Retribution is not a film. It’s a broken video game, whose code has gone sour, crashing together in explosions of non-sequitur, desperate to excite. I like it. Like every film of the franchise the first fifteen are the strongest, with a straight lift...
Resident Evil: After Life Proves That Nothing Matters
RESIDENT EVIL: AFTER LIFE is an empty endeavor in search of a purpose. Alice wanders the world looking for something, anything to give her a reason to keep moving, and all she finds are computer generated backdrops. It’s an unsubtle metaphor for the whole franchise....
2016: Best, Worst and In-Between
2016 was a terrible year and I don't think anyone will argue against that, do I need to remind you of all the terrible things that happened in the last 12 months? Well I don't want to, read it somewhere else I'm not your mother. 2016 was NOT a terrible year for movies...
Resident Evil: Extinction is a Dusty Mess
Is RESIDENT EVIL the most nihilistic big budget film franchise out there? Every single entry is hard reboot on the series. No matter what Alice (Milla Jovovich) does it all goes to shit by the time the next one starts. There are no happy endings in RESIDENT EVIL. Yet,...
