Movie Halloween
We recently switched to Direct TV in our house and, because of that, we have a few movie channels that we didn’t have before (only for a couple months though).
One movie I came across this weekend was the Rob Zombie re-make of the film Halloween. And, since I haven’t …

Drive 2011 film
Before seeing this movie in the theater, I’d never heard of Nicolas Winding Refn. The film surprised me, and pleasantly so.

Half Caste (movie)

500 Days of Summer (2009) Movie

I saw 500 Days of Summer (2009) at home when I was …
Transformers (2007)

The Unexplained: Hauntings (NR, 1997) DVD

Hills Have Eyes 2, The (2007)
The Hills Have Eyes is a sequel to the first. I felt the first was a pretty good movie, and I felt the same about this one, because it continued the storyline from the first, explaining the reason for the mutants attacks on everyone.
These “mutants” have been a victim …

Hulk (2003)
Here is another example of why Hollywood should stay as far away from comic book remakes as possible. This movie is so bad, it makes ‘bad’ seem like a candy bar. At first when the movie started, I was all geared up to enjoy Hulk style destruction similar to …
