Greetings Starfighter,
You have reached the Film Reviews page. Here you’ll find reviews of films new and old that you can see on screens big and small. You’ll soon learn that I’ll watch pretty much anything. Hollywood blockbusters, science fiction, indie films, drama, action… you name it. If I see it I’ll write about it and you can read about it here.
Writing a review for a film of this magnitude can be difficult. Being the third film in a trilogy, the final piece of the ongoing story and having two fantastic films before it makes it hard to NOT have expectations going in. With all of the clips, TV spots, photos, trailers, teasers and anything else [...]
When I first read about the Roger Corman produced, SyFy Saturday night original film, Piranhaconda, the first thing that popped in my head was “UGH! REALLY?!?!?!?” yet, I knew then I’d probably watch it. This film has been in the back of my head ever since and it finally made its way to the small [...]
In 1987 I was nearing the end of my freshman year of high school. Or just starting my sophomore year, depending on which part of the year we’re talking about. It was a time of bad fashion (that is sadly making a comeback), big hair that required lots and lots of Aqua Net, and dirt [...]
Prometheus was THE movie for me this summer. The one I’ve been craving for what seems like ages. The one that I drooled over after having seen that first trailer. When word came out that Ridley Scott was returning to the science fiction genre, I got goosebumps. It was an Alien prequel, and then it [...]
The story of Snow White has been done countless time since the story’s inception. Most recently, it was the focus of ABC’s hit show, Once Upon a Time. There were two films based on the character within the last couple of months as well. Mirror Mirror being the first and now Snow White and the [...]
When I first saw the trailer for Chernobyl Diaries, my initial reaction was apprehension because it seemed like it was just another “found footage” film. It was, after all, written and produced by Oren Peli, the man behind Paranormal Activity. For some reason I keep going back to these types of films even though I [...]
Action? Check. Science fiction? Check. Space setting? Check. Hot guy carrying a gun, blowing stuff up / blasting caps in people? Double check. Call me easy, but when I go to the movies for sheer mindless entertainment, that’s my check list. Don’t feed me any of that girlie-chic-flick-gooey-lovey-dovey stuff. No siree. I want my mindless [...]
Way back in 1999 there was that little surprise hit called The Sixth Sense. Everyone was talking about it, but no one was spoiling it for those who hadn’t seen it yet. I finally got around to seeing it at the end of its theatrical run and was absolutely dumbfounded at what I witnessed. Not [...]
Set about ten years after the events of Clash of the Titans, Wrath picks up with demigod Perseus (Sam Worthington), having shunned his demigod status and choosing to live a normal life, working as a fisherman and raising his son, Helius. There isn’t much mention of Io, his wife, aside from the fact that she [...]
There is something really cool about watching a movie where military operators infiltrate the enemies backyard and takes care of business. This normally involves explosions, hand to hand combat scenes, high-tech gear, cool hand signals to their teammates, and guns. Lots and lots of guns. As far as I’m concerned, movies with hot guys blowing [...]
