One, Two, (the very boring) new Freddy is coming for you! Ok, so yes, I am old enough to have seen the original 1984 version of A Nightmare on Elm Street in the theaters. To remember sitting in the darkened theater and being mesmerized and scared by this horrifying looking creature who could kill people […]

Nightmare on Elm Street, is another Remake that Doesn’t Need to Exist! Michelle’s Review
The problem with most remakes is that they are forced to justify their existence as being something that’s necessary and beyond being cheap money grabs from a sometimes creatively bankrupt studio system. Nightmare on Elm Street isn’t a horrible movie, but it’s a film that’s incredibly bland, unimaginative and you can’t help but watch and […]
The Losers is a fun, but Blatent Rip off of The A-Team
While watching The Losers I couldn’t escape two thoughts 1) Poor A-Team Movie and 2) As much as I love Chris Evans, he just isn’t right for Captain America. The Losers is based on a DC/Vertigo comic book series that came out last year (available in 5 trade paperbacks) about a Special Forces group that […]
Movie Review: The Losers Has All the Makings of A Box Office Winner
Anyone Else Would Be Dead By Now: The Losers is a tale of double cross and revenge centered upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team-Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar -find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated […]
Kick-Ass made Michelle feel Giddy and it’s the Best movie of the Year!
The week I saw Kick-Ass was, not to be too hyperbolic, a Kick Ass week of Entertainment. It started with my last day Wondercon where I finally had time to catch How To Train A Dragon – Amazing movie, then when I got home from San Francisco, there was a copy of the season premiere […]
Alice in Wonderland is too much like Tim Burton’s other films and the 3D Sucked, Michelle’s Review
Here’s the problem with Alice in Wonderland: if a director other than Tim Burton did this movie, I probably would have liked it a lot better than I did. As it is, watching this movie makes me feel like the great and visionary Tim Burton has somehow become an average, Tim Burton wannabe. Everything about […]
Michelle Desperately wanted to Walk out of Shutter Island
I’ll admit I’ve never been a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, I think he’s a strong actor and certainly has that “It” factor but I’m always slightly disappointed by the movies he makes. This is due to the fact that he always picks “self important” films that strive to be great but always seem to […]
Chris Columbus Brings Magic Back, Michelle reviews Percy Jackson!
Damn you Christopher Columbus! You sucked me into the world magic and kid lit with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, now that I’m over my obsession with this series, you return once again with another kid lit movie that I’ve never heard of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Sure it’s a […]
Crazy Mel returns to From the Edge of Darkness, Michelle’s Review!
Despite the fact that Mel Gibson is a troubled religious nut with numerous personal problems, Edge of Darkness comes along to remind us why we all love him anyway. Edge of Darkness is a talkier version of last year’s Taken. Here instead of having a father who is an ex spy with skills, the father […]
The Book of Eli shows Denzel can be Bad and Still have Faith. Michelle’s Review!
The Hughes Brothers are back baby and in fine fashion. I really wasn’t in the mood to see a movie today, and certainly not a post apocalyptic one. I’ll admit I was ready to walk out ten minutes into The Book of Eli but the movie’s slow pacing actually sucked me in. As Eli (Denzel […]
Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes is one Ugly Looking Movie so says Michelle!
With the release of this year’s big budget Hollywood version of the iconic British detective, Sherlock Holmes, I thought now would be a great time to delve into Holmes’ world. I’ll admit up until this year I didn’t read the books, watch any of the old movies or TV shows that featured the character. The […]
