Karen Gillan is Visceral in Oculus

Karen Gillan is Visceral in Oculus

uneasy all night, and has me staring at my apples suspiciously all day.  Overall, it is a mixed bag of good and bad but I still find it to be an enjoyable film.  As far as horror films go, far too many rely on cheap tricks and startle tactics.  While there is no shortage of […]

Draft Day is commercial yet satisfying.

Draft Day is commercial yet satisfying.

Game of Thrones: Two Swords

Game of Thrones: Two Swords

Two Swords is a fantastic season opener, easing the audience back into Westeros, and reminding us why we love these characters.  As they have with the past seasons, the opening is rather gentle, relatively speaking.  There is not much action, but rather reaction to the previous action (which they were kind enough to offer a […]

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is Staggeringly Satisfying

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is not simply a good Marvel movie, it is not just a great superhero movie, and it is not only a spectacular action movie.  It is all of the above, and one of the best multi-genre films I have yet see.   To quantify my feelings here, let me start by […]

Sabotage is spectacular, for the wrong reasons.

Sabotage is spectacular, for the wrong reasons.

If you want to watch a Schwarzenegger film but Commando, or Last Action Hero is too highbrow and subtle for your taste, I have a film for you. Sabotage is a crime action thriller with all the subtlety of broke stripper demanding tips, complete with a 7th grade vocabulary. It has been a long time […]
