Feature Length films produced by big studios are the main stay of modern Hollywood. These are their reviews. *Dun Dun*

  • Wall-E

    wall-e-poster

    Intro:

    Imagine a planet filled with garbage and devoid of life – it is unfortunately the reality of the planet Earth in Wall-E. Left by the humans decades prior due to the their own destruction of the planet, it was up to Buy in Large’s robot garbage collectors to clean up the mess. The human race floats through space on an intergalatic space cruse while the planet repairs itself. Sounds like a good idea right? Unfortunately, most of the bots, with the exception of Wall-E, are now defunct and the world remains a gigantic wasteland.

  • Halloween 2 (2009)

    halloween_2_pumpkin_poster

    Intro:
    When you hear the name "Myers" two logical names come to mind. Mike Myers, famed actor who has appeared in countless comedy classics, and Michael Myers famed killer who has spread his fear in the hearts of numerous horror fans for over thirty years now. I’m beginning to feel however that his reign of terror could come to a halting end if we get another "Halloween" film like the 2009 release of Rob Zombie’s "Halloween 2."

  • Tales from the Darkside: The Movie

    tales_from_the_darkside_the_movie

    Intro:

    Whenever a person is taken hostage, the best thing they can do is buy time. Some how distract the kidnapper so that you have more time for a possible rescue or escape to take place. One of the best ways in doing this is with stories. Telling stories that attract the attention of the person will (hopefully) gain their attention and give you an opportunity to escape, like the daring kid in the 1990 release of John Harrison’s “Tales from the Darkside: The Movie.”

  • Tales from the Hood

    Intro:

    For those that know me well, you may know that I live on the outskirts of the ghetto. Yes, I live VERY close to the ghetto but I’m not directly in harms way of any crazy mishaps that could be present in the ghetto. So many stories that are hidden within the hood that we on the outside do not know about, like the stories in the 1995 release of Rusty Cundieff’s “Tales from the Hood.”

  • Twilight Zone: The Movie

    twilight-zone-movie

    Intro:

    Sometimes we see, hear, and feel things that are so bizarre, so frightening, that they must be from an alternate reality, a different dimension. Perhaps the stories of four otherwise ordinary people encountering these events in The Twilight Zone. You’ll meet an angry bigot, a cheerful old man, an unusual little boy who befriends a wayward teacher, and a very anxious flyer during your travel through the rift between shadow and light

  • Drive-In Massacre

    drive-in-massacre

    Intro:

    Drive-ins. When you hear that phrase you think of a place where you could go to and have no worries, no fears, no responsibilities of the outside world. You could get lost on a Saturday night in the madness that is, was, and always will be the Drive-In Movie. You’d never think that a place where you could lose you imagination, could be a place where you have to fear for your life! Like in the 1977 release of Stu Segall’s “Drive-In Massacre.”

  • Bubba Ho-Tep

    bubba-ho-tep

    Intro:

    There is a fascination that seems to reach certain celebrity die hard fans. When their beloved idol passes on into the afterlife, they have a hard time dealing with it. They might say “oh he/she faked their own death, and they are in Cuba.” The two celebrities that get this the most are Tupac and the King himself, Elvis Presley. Now I personality believe, sadly, that they have both deceased, but its fun to imagine they are not, and indeed faked their own death, like Elvis did in the 2002 release of Don Coscarelli’s “Bubba Ho-Tep.”

  • Star Trek (2009)

    Intro:

    The latest Star Trek film boldly goes where no one has gone before, and it pays off big time. What is quite possibly one of the most popular Sci-Fi franchises of all time received a series reboot with director J.J. Abrams at the helm. It also is a great way to start off a summer filled with blockbuster releases. Will it set phasers on fun? Let’s find out! =)

    NOTE: I am not a Trekkie; I love Sci-Fi films and know basic Trek facts, but I am no expert on the subject. I am writing this review for those who want to see a movie that is both entertaining and different. (aka the layman’s review)
