I mean the way the world is today . . . what counts as a crime anymore ?
If you don't have a budget for name actors or special effects , then you need a good script . Now , I don't know if I would call Scott Phillips script good , but it was certainly different enough . Matool ( Kurly Tlapoyawa ) is a Rock look-a-like that doesn't use guns because he says bullets are hard to find . He isn't...

What's it all about , River ?
I only tuned into this film to see Ione Skye . Denise ( Ione Skye ) and Jimmy ( River Phoenix ) had an interesting thing going on . Outside of her , I am really not sure what was going on . Jimmy seemed to be trying to find his own way and not follow what others wanted him to do . Sort of a slacker , he was in constant...

Dogs on crack !
I like those movies with the little dogs , and this one was worth watching just for the presence of Michelle Rodriguez ( " Lost " , Bloodrayne ) . It's not Cujo or Rottweiler , but it did feature some ferocious animals and a bitchin ' ending . Besides Michelle , it also featured Taryn Manning from Hustle & Flow , and L...

Black juice runs through your soul .
This film was very hard to rate . For a low budget horror flick , it wasn't bad , but it could have been so much better . First , it spent entirely too much time with the actors just acing stupid . Lots of hot girls running around , but the guys were just plain dumb . It wasted a lot of time that could have been spent ...

A great book done an injustice
I am not a Stephen King fan . Works of his that I have read over the years can easily be counted on one hand . It just so happens that this is one of those and I thoroughly enjoyed it . I was anxiously awaiting the movie , especially as i felt that Anthony Hopkins would be great for the role . I was mistaken . The book...

Lesbian action and real x-rated sex
The action starts hot and heavy after a murder in the prison yard . The fire hoses are tuned on , and soon the skimpy prison uniforms look like a wet T shirt contest at Bike Week , with boobs flying out in some cases . This isn't your ordinary prison . The warden and guards don't bother with bras and only button the bo...

Into the bowels of Hell .
Gore Hounds will love this movie . There is more gore in the first two minutes than almost all of the " video nasties " I have seen to date . A group moves into the house to search for evidence of paranormal activity - or maybe something more . It does get funny at times when four zombies , including scream queen Zoe M...

It didn't ask to be born .
Was this a story of Mary Shelly's inspiration for Frankenstein . It could be , but that is not what makes it interesting . It is not your usual horror film .

There is nothing like an old prison to add to the creepiness of a horror film , especially if there is some old murders that are at the root of the horror .

B-Movie Argento , but highly watchable .
One of the the great things about giallo is the blood and nudity . The serial killer takes the time to undress his victim before tossing her in the water , so we get to see everything .

Possibly because he had over 50 aliases . He directed ove...

The first of a trilogy by Larry Cohen , and apparently he wants a do-over as this film is currently in post-production , having been remade with a new cast , and probably scarier effects . It's scary enough as Frank and Lenore ( John P . Ryan and Sharon Farrell have a baby that is a little bit abnormal . Frank tries to...

Fk em if they can't take a joke .
I am not a Woody Allen fan . I consider it significant that he has only one Oscar nomination for acting and that was 30 years ago . All of his other many nominations and wins were for writing and directing . If you like Sacha Baron Cohen , then you will like Woody Allen and vice versa . Maybe they should do something t...

Hot showers frame a cold story
There are two shower scenes where we are treated to incredible views of my favorite psychologist ( Anne Heche from Prozac Nation ) and the lovely Ione Skye . This was definitely not a CBS Schoolbreak Special with Missy Crider and TV regular Bahni Turpin . Outside of these shower scenes was the cheesiest dialog that I h...

That Felissa Rose can sure scream
It seemed like a stereotypical dysfunctional family , presumably Italian-American , on a trip through the woods in New Jersey . They break down and , like the back roads of Texas , they come upon things they should have left alone . Felissa Rose seemed more like the daughter than the wife , but I'll play along . If Fra...

You should see yourself right now , a grown man with his hand down his pants .
As slacker movies go , this was disappointing . It just doesn't seem funny to me seeing losers like Jeremy London and Jason Lee whining because they lost their girlfriends .

A fun romp with the zombies

Secondly , the story may have inspired Pirates of the Carrebean , as the premise is that the zombies are the crew of a su...

One of the the things you can do as a new director is to get a great Director of Photography . He can help you avoid mistakes and save your butt .

Trading off Chow Yun Fat's fame .

However , the DVD has him prominently displayed on the cover , just like they did with Washingto . Lots of c...

Sometimes a Korean film really grabs me , like Il Mare , which was remade into The Lake House . It was a beautifully romantic film ; just what this wasn't .
