Pacific Rim: Giant Robots vs Giant Monsters in July 2013

I try not to get my hopes up with movies, but sometimes I can’t help myself. I really liked the idea and trailer behind Iron Sky but it turned out to be a big disappointment. Sometimes crazy movies like D-Wars hit my radar and go down in flames, but every once in awhile a movie [...]

How Sprinters Ruined the Zombie Genre

When the film 28 Days Later hit the screen in 2002, it signaled a huge shift in the zombie genre. Prior to 28 Days Later, zombies were slow and shambling. If I had to compare them to something from nature, I’d say they were glacial. Once 28 Days Later came out with its sprinting non-zombie [...]

Man With the Iron Fists Movie Review Spoilers Inside

Ah! Tiger stance! I heard this phrase over thirty years ago, watching Kung Fu movies with my sister, who has long since passed on. In an effort to avoid the screaming and yelling of my parents, we would shut ourselves in her upstairs bedroom and watch martial arts or Godzilla movies around a 13-inch television. [...]

Actresses I’d Like to See in the Lady Expendables

I really liked the action movie homage The Expendables. I haven’t seen the sequel yet, but I’m looking forward to it, as well as the untitled and upcoming Expendables film starring an all-female cast. Hell. Yeah. Between my mom and a buttnest of women in action films (Linda Hamilton in the Terminator, Grace Jones in [...]

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter Movie Review Spoilers Inside

You know a movie is going to be a disappointment when one of the trailers is for some bullshit animated film starring a Russian Santa Claus and an Easter Bunny that looks like he’s strung out on heroin.

The Sky is Falling: My Iron Sky Review

The Sky is Falling: My Iron Sky Review

Hello, dear friends. I have some bad news. Iron Sky sucks. I’ve monitored the movie about moon Nazis since early this year. It seemed right up my alley: an independently-made action movie with political overtones and a touch of humor. The premise is straightforward: Nazis fled Germany to the moon after World War II, and [...]

Iron Sky had a limited theatrical release in Europe earlier this month. While there are plans to show the film in the United States, there are no firm release dates. [...]
