Movie Reviews

As the calendar turns to October, two things are on the horizon: the Major League Baseball playoffs and World Series and Halloween. If your team is in the playoffs, that means you have to balance between baseball and any horror movies you prefer. One horror movie that fits right in …

Eli Roth’s Cabin Fever is one of my favorite films and Jack Black is one of my favorite comedic actors (in large part due to Tenacious D). So when I found out that these two did a family friendly fantasy film together called The House With A Clock In Its Walls, …

You can tell Robert Partridge is crazy because he sets his alarm clock for 6:07 in the morning. The problem is, his alarm goes off a minute-and-a-half into I Am Going to Kill Someone This Friday, and there’s still 102 minutes to go. It doesn’t take much longer for co-writer-director …

This movie creates its own track of footsteps as a combination of two popular television series: The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. There’s a subtle whiff of …

I used to really love zombie movies, but over the past 10 years or so, they have became a done to death (no pun intended) subgenre. While I’ve experienced burnout on zombies films, I do still dig the occasional zombie comedy. When I saw Better Off Zed on the shelf …

I want to preface this review by telling everyone straight out: I’m a big Predator fan. The original came out when I was a kid growing up in the ’80s, and I loved it. I enjoyed the direct sequels as well: Predator 2 and Predators, even though those apparently aren’t …

Joe Badon makes his directorial debut with The God Inside My Ear. It is a beautifully written film that focuses on the aesthetic of life and existence. The plot lures you into this psychological thriller as the steps of healing dreadfully unfold. Read on to get more of my thoughts …
