Melancholia was without a doubt one of the most bleak and depressing films I have ever seen. I guess that’s not too much of a surprise, considering the fact that the film was directed by Lars Von Trier, who isn’t really known for making happy-go-lucky films. The story is split into two parts, with each part […]
As you know know Puss in Boots is the spin-off of the character from the Shrek films. It is also the name of a popular fairy tale and part of me somewhat wishes they made the film a loose adaptation of the story. That said, I still thought the film was quite decent in its spoofing of
Tower Heist is one of those films where you don’t have to think too much about what it is about. Essentially it’s about a group of people who rob a tower. There not really that much more to say about the film other than the fact that I thought it was quite funny. You can also
For most of his career Roland Emmerich became well known for his knack of blowing up the world real good. He is also one of the most critically loathed directors, with all but two of films receiving a Rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I personally didn’t mind his disaster films and even used his films The Day After
The Innkeepers was the closing film of this year’s Toronto After Dark film festival. I thought that it was a very interesting type of film, since it doesn’t really start off like a horror film, instead opting for a very slow burn, with the scares building up over the course of the film. The film is

Tonight at the Toronto After Dark film festival I saw the dark superhero thriller VS. The film has a very simple (a word that is repeated many times in the film) plot – four superheroes are captured by their old arch nemesis, stripped of their powers, and left in a town, where they have to

The classic novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas is probably one of the most adapted stories of all time and this is about the third high profile adaption that was made in my lifetime. When comparing this film to the others, I probably like it better than 2001’s The Musketeer, but this film doesn’t really hold

This evening saw the beginning of the sixth edition of the Toronto After Dark film festival. The opening film was a Canadian-made horror/action/comedy film called Monster Brawl. The film is essentially various different classic monsters mixed with professional wrestling. The film takes the form of a wrestling Pay-Per-View, in a graveyard, with Dave Foley and Art

I know I said in my last post that I was going to wait until the film’s official opening on Friday to post my thoughts on Paranormal Activity 3, but I feel like I want to talk about the film now. The film is an origin story of sorts and tells the story of the

The Thing is supposed to a prequel to the 1982 John Carpenter sic-fi/horror classic, rather than a remake. This is apparent early on in the film, where a group of scientists on a Norwegian base in Antarctica discover the alien creature buried in the ice. However, the film begins to move really close to remake territory as
