Bergman 101: So there’s this Swedish director…
Ingmar Bergman is the director that you love to hate. On the surface, he embodies “art” film-making, and pretentiousness. Black and white, subtitled, small cast, long silences, not to mention film titles taken from Bible verses. Add a healthy dose of misanthropy, and you’ve got some serious elitist art. The thing that’s easy to miss is that the man tells a great story.
Paranormal Activity: Time-release horror, a review in two parts
Please don’t let this film encourage you to make amateur films about your life with your girlfriend and her demon. Or, if you do, try to make sure the ending doesn’t blow.
Manhunt aka Polizio-what???
“Poliziotteschi is a sub-genre of crime and action film that emerged in Italy in the late 1960s and became popular in the 1970s. Poliziotteschi films are also known as poliziottesco, Italo-crime, Euro-crime or simply Italian crime films.”

This review does not lie
Ricky Gervais’s new endeavor, The Invention of Lying, was funny enough to cause me to tear up with laughter but daring enough to cause me to shrink into my seat and wait for the theater to burst into flames.
Zombie’s Land
The review includes one of the best pictures we’ve ever seen. It also makes references to Beta-max and SunCoast. You’re welcome.
The Two Halloween 2’s
Because comparing the two Inglourious Basterds films was fun, I thought it’d be cool to write a similar article comparing the original Halloween 2 and the new, Rob Zombie Halloween 2. The problem with this idea is that I had to see the new, Rob Zombie Halloween 2. Ouch.
Inglorious/Inglourious Review/Revue
In honor of Quentin Tarantino’s new movie Inglourious Basterds, I thought it’d be cool to do a comparison with the movie it was inspired by: Inglorious Bastards. So, this review is like a twofer!
The Thing: Remakes can be good!
These days, there are very few original ideas being made into movies. It’s easy to get angry and wonder why no one is trying anymore. It’s also easy to forget that sometimes remakes can be great. In 1982, John Carpenter got it right.
Schizopolis
Check out this lesser-known (but quite hilarious) little gem from the man behind such films as Traffic, Ocean’s 11, Erin Brockovich, Out of Sight, and more.
