Feature: Top 10 Horror Movies of the Past 10 Years (1999-2008) »

As I reviewed The Strangers, I mentioned that there really aren’t many horror movies that set themselves apart from the pack. I see a lot of horror movies, and only enjoy a select few of them, but when they are good they can be something very great. I’ve restricted my time period to the past [...]

Movie Review: The Strangers (2008) »

I consider myself a very big horror buff, and many of my favorite movies are in the horror genre. Horror does something that no other types of movies can do – when they’re done right, they can make you feel for the characters that are being put through such emotions like fear and agonizing pain. [...]

Movie Review: Teeth (2007) »

To describe the premise of Teeth sort of spoils some of the fun of the movie but unfortunately some spoilers are needed to let anyone thinking of watching this movie (especially men) know what their getting into. This movie is graphic, shocking, and cringe-worthy at times, but also a great sex-ed commentary on abstinence. It [...]

Movie Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) »

To quote the most famous line in the very well known movie Forrest Gump, “Momma says life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get”. From the beginning I expected Forgetting Sarah Marshall to be a hilarious, semi-sweet romantic comedy full of vulgarity and nudity. For the most part, [...]

Movie Review: 21 (2008) »

Alright … well there isn’t much to say about 21 because it really just made me so angry to the point that I screamed out “FUCK this movie” about a half hour in. Now you may be asking me why I would get so angry at such an obviously mediocre film. Simple, it was just [...]

Movie Review: Doomsday (2008) »

Let me preface this by saying that Doomsday is, by no stretch of the imagination a good movie, but it is a shit load of fun and a hell of a ride. It’s messy, its inconsistent, and full of major plot holes but it does one thing many movies fail to do, and that is [...]

Movie Review: The Signal (2007) »

The Signal is a limited release horror movie that I had very high expectations for ever since I saw a trailer for it last year. It is directed by three different people (David Bruckner, Dan Bush and Jacob Gentry), who each do a separate segment of the story. This movie is absolutely fantastic and by [...]

Movie Review: There Will Be Blood (2007) »

To preface this, if you even remotely like character studies such as that done in Taxi Driver or any of Paul Thomas Anderson’s previous work like Boogie Nights or Magnolia, don’t even question if you should see There Will Be Blood or not, just do it. To say the least, it has earned it’s Oscar [...]

Movie Review: Meet the Spartans (2008) »

My God….is all I can muster after seeing Meet the Spartans. I even questioned the existence of God after watching this abomination. To call this a movie would be a complete raping of the word movie. To call it a bad movie makes me wish I spoke a different language, just so I would have [...]

Movie Review: Rambo (2008) »

Hey all, my name is Mike but my handle around these parts will be Phntmbanana. I got a chance to take a look at Rambo the new Stallone flick, and it was certainly a view to behold. It pushed the boundaries of violence in movies to a point I have never seen before, and I [...]
