Those Retired and Extremely Dangerous secret agents are back for another mission in RED 2. Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) has gotten used to living a domestic life, though the same can’t necessarily be said about his somewhat bored girlfriend Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker). Frank finds himself called back in action again when he and Marvin Boggs…
It’s a very serendipitous blindspot pick for me this month, since I just happened to get The Silence of the Lambs on blu-ray, in a 2-for-1 deal, and I thought that it would be a good film to write about this month (the other film in that deal was the blu-ray for Donnie Darko, which will…
Now, on this day of Guillermo del Toro sightings, I also happened to see a movie. They were really hyping this movie over the last few days as having a performance by Liam Neeson that was so good, that plans are already being made to re-release the film in October for a possible Oscar qualifying…
Ever since the release of Iron Man in 2008, most of the Marvel comics films have been building up to the release of The Avengers next year. It’s a pretty unprecedented move, since, by the time it’s released, The Avengers would have been built up by five films over a four year period. The latest of these lead-up films is…
When it comes to exorcism films, I doubt that The Rite adds anything new to the genre. However, I was drawn to the film because of the fact that it was directed by Mikael Håfström, who previously directed 1408 (one my my favourite haunted house films of recent years), and stars Anthony Hopkins (who has…
As you may know, this film is a remake of the classic 1941 film, which was part of the the golden age of Universal horror films. A lot has changed since then and this is definitely a very dark and violent tale (as such, I was a bit disturbed when I saw a young boy…
I have to say that Moon is probably one of the best science fiction films I have seen in years. The entire film focuses on Sam Rockwell‘s character Sam Bell (and the on-board computer voiced by Kevin Spacey) and you can really feel the sense of isolation. Things shake up a bit when another individual…
Beowulf was an interesting experiment: take the motion-capture technology used in making The Polar Express and use it to make a more serious epic. I won’t go into the debate about whether or not this film really needed to be made using motion-capture CGI instead of live action, since I’m actually a little tired of…
