In my discussion of the movie Kill Command, it was defined as Dog Soldiers with robots. Although I wouldn’t say it is as good as the former, it was for the most part an entertaining watch. The characters, however, seem to miss that little touch that would make Kill Command one of the movies to […]

The psychological trembling of the survivor sets a tone for disaster for the viewer. Eikjord is a geologist and a scientist who has witnessed horrific distressing tragedies in his line of work. Moreover, in the novel, Eikjord faces the world after refusing any and all contact with his daughter after the immense trauma of losing

The suburbs are hell. That’s what the movies keep telling us. Perfect nuclear families living in their McMansions are often anything but perfect. It’s not exactly new cinematic territory, but it’s a well that gets tapped often because it’s just a lot of fun to watch rich families implode, often of their own doing. In

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes I return to a film to discover my initial gut reaction might have been a bit too harsh. When I first watched Sean Wang’s emotionally brutal coming of age film “Didi” at Sundance where it won the festival’s audience award I thought his follow-up to his Oscar-nominated animated short

Buffer has the luxury of experiencing both fortune and misfortune. He alone has the honor of putting on a tuxedo only to exclaim “Let’s get ready to RUMBLE!”. Michael Buffer is also known for publicly announcing all sorts of events from sporting competitions to weddings to even bingo games. It’s easy to brand him as

It’s difficult to disregard an action film that attempts to puree the violence with the stoic lessons of Marcus Aurelius. Such is the case with Acts of Vengeance, starring Antonio Banderas, who, at age 57, seems to be chasing the same kind of middle-aged action figure that has benefited Liam Neeson so much.
