Utterly Immoral and Disgusting (not in the way you think)
The Last House on the Left (2009) Review There was another movie called The Last House on the Left in 1972 (directed by Wes Craven) and it was seriously messed up (Special Note: There Are Apparently Multiple Versions of the 1972 Film, some which may be even more graphic than what I saw).

The Rock No More
Race to Witch Mountain Review I’m all for The Rock continuing to have a career. In every movie I’ve seen him in he’s acquited himself as well as you could hope for, and he does that again in Race to Witch Mountain. But here, as well as you could hope for means The Rock is…

Watchmen Ultimately Gives Way To Its Own Hype
Watchmen Review (Movie) When it was announced Zack Synder, he of the relentlessly agressive Dawn of the Dead and 300, was directing the contemplative Watchmen there was understandable concern.

Mickey Rourke’s Got Personality
This is so ridiculous, please watch it right now. Mickey Rourke basically cusses and embrasses everyone he knows but is still extremely likeable while doing it. Should be pretty awesome if he wins the Oscar in 20 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og3tN7P6oKI

Deconstructing Genre: Screenwriting
*In response to the popularity of my Fireproof article, here is another screenwriting article. Deconstructing Genre Is something tough to do. It seems like it should be easy right? But it’s not that easy, movies that just point out genre cliches (i.e. something like The Comebacks) tend to be pretty bad. Because just pointing out…

Belabored
Fired Up Review Fired Up is one of those movies that will try to trick you into thinking it’s actually decent. Because as viewers we are so accustomed to these dumb comedies, where the emotional undercurrent is forced and unnatural, that we kind of give them a pass for a) not connecting emotionally b)not connecting…
