It’s the End of the World as We Know It, At Least in the Theaters…

2012Once again Roland Emmerich has created a movie that is a thrill ride from the beginning to the end, but this time he grapples with the popular conception that the world is going to come to an end when it reaches the year 2012.  Unlike the paranoia that surrounded our journey into the new millennium back at the end of the nineties, which was mainly brought upon by what we thought was going to be a massive glitch affecting all of the world’s computers, the ending foretold for the year 2012 is imagined to be far worse.

The Daily Blu…November 24, 2009

It was another busy day today for Blu-ray news so let’s get caught up, shall we?  Paramount Home Entertainment has announced a December 29th Blu-ray release date for the monster low budget horror flick Paranormal Activity.  While I admit to liking the film in, I’m just very cautious on how the replay value will be, even on the Blu-ray format.  It will probably not be the same as seeing it for the first time, but I  will give it a looksee…especially if my name is in the credits.

‘More Than a Game’ a Slam Dunk

Lebron Jame's More Than A GameIs basketball really more than a game?  Is painting more than some brush strokes with color?  What about running?  Is it more than just exercise?  The answer to all these questions is a simple ‘yes.’  As the old saying goes, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure, and so holds true for an individual’s passion.  While playing some pickup ball on an asphalt court might be a simple release for some, it can be a zone of absolute concentration, paradise and flowing adrenaline for others.  Continue reading ‘‘More Than a Game’ a Slam Dunk’

Fight Club: 10th Anniversary Edition (Review)

Words cannot vividly express how honored and excited I am to be the recipient of the following Blu-ray disc and also to be selected to furnish a review of it.  It’s literally a dream come true for me.  To declare the following manuscript of confabulation a mere Blu-ray review would simply be misleading.  Instead, think of it as a testament, according to the Book of Brian, to one of the greatest films ever made. Continue reading ‘Fight Club: 10th Anniversary Edition (Review)’

Top 8 Upcoming Games to Films

Thor's Top 8 Upcoming Games to FilmsFor all of you familiar with my former TOP 5 list, you’re aware that my opinion on video game to film adaptations, like most of you, is fairly luke-warm.  My feeling isn’t that they lack potential but need a strong and passionate director behind the scenes to execute it successfully.  After a recent IGN article refreshed my memory on the upcoming slate game to film adaptations and their various states of development, I was quite happy to see a few had exciting potential to be pretty kick a#$.

Robert Englund and his ‘Hollywood Monster’

Robert Englund's Hollywood MonsterHorror films never really did much for me.  The Friday the 13th franchise used to scare the bejeezus out of me when I was a kid, but the older I got, the more bored I got with those films.  I never did see the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre in its entirety and the more recent Drag Me To Hell was anything but entertaining.  However, there was one certain film that made an impression on me; Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street.
