How would you feel if a fraternity moved into the house next door? Depends on where you are in life I suppose. It would be pretty cool if you are a fresh-faced college freshman, free from any real responsibility and down to party. If you were a young married couple with a young child, you probably wouldn’t be as excited. How would you handle a situation like that? Move away? Make life a living hell? To an independent observer, it would be entertaining to watch!

Revelation Trail DVD Release Date Announced
There is something so appealing when you take a Western setting and throw in some zombie carnage! The story of “Revelation Trail” is an inspiring one to all independent filmmakers out there. Shot in 20 days and on a budget of only $34,000 the film takes place “In the late nineteenth-century, a holy man known only as the Preacher (Daniel Van Thomas) confronts unspeakable evil as a gruesome power consumes the frontier. Standing between ruin and salvation, he joins forces with the town Marshal (Daniel Britt), a man with his own set of demons, in a savage fight against the risen dead and the evils of the living. Along the way, the men discover which lines they’re willing to cross in the name of survival and witness the depths people reach through the power of belief — for good and ill alike.” (more…)

Sherlock Holmes
This was a guest review submitted by Seth Middleton. Thanks Seth! You can submit your own reviews to SquidFlicks here.
I’ll have to admit my perceptions of this film from the previews left me caged in a sense of contemporary redressing. Maybe that quip sounds a little bit overtly complicated. Let me simplify it. The previews left me certainly at odds with how the film was being fashioned. It looked like a packaged action vehicle for Robert Downey Jr.’s new claim to fame as action hero. (more…)

The Mighty Ducks
This was a guest review submitted by Seth Middleton. Thanks Seth! You can submit your own reviews to SquidFlicks here.
The appeal of family oriented sport movies were a big staple in the 90’s which stemmed back from the origins that The Bad News Bears started in the 70’s. For whatever reason there wasn’t a backlog of ripoffs or knock offs of this product during that era for whatever reason. When the 80’s ushered in it was a time of fantasy films for kids and it was still laid to rest. (more…)

The Wiz

If you and your friends want to sit down on a boring afternoon and have an endurance test to see who can make it through ‘The Wiz,’ I’ll gladly sit by with a stopwatch and see whose eyes begin to dart off first. (more…)

Hate to say it, after being such a fan of stop motion/model motion all my life, I’ve come across something that I just couldn’t finish. Maybe you’d consider that cheating and this review not worthy and should be thrown out but after viewing 1 hr. 15 minutes of this 90 minute film…I think its safe to say I’d seen enough. (more…)

Due Date
This was a guest review submitted by Ricky Holdman. Thanks Ricky! You can submit your own reviews to SquidFlicks here.
Like most movie genres, comedy for me is becoming…well…stale. What little interest I had in the Comedy Genre Died (R.I.P. 11/5/2010) after seeing ‘Due Date’.The jokes we’ve heard hundreds (literally) of times, unoriginal plot (two people who have nothing in common travel a long distance then randomly become friends at the end), rushed storyline, and hearing Robert Downey Jr drop the F-bomb every 5 minutes didn’t seem to fit.

The Lost Boys: The Tribe
This was a guest review submitted by Jeffrey Rule. Thanks Jeffrey! You can submit your own reviews to SquidFlicks here.
Intro
Lots of good tasting cheese! Corey Feldman is back again with more vampire killing and cheesy one-liners. He teams up again with his fellow “Frog Brother”(who happens to be a bloodsucker) to attempt and take down the Alpha Vamp. The Plot was quite good, but all to familiar. It has become popular to breed an army of vampires in this day and age. But with the Lost Boys style its much more unique. (more…) -
The Lego Movie
Lego is probably THE childhood favorite toy of mine. I’ve always enjoyed making stuff with the littleSwedishDanish blocks, and while I don’t usually deviate from the instructions, the things you can make are near endless. While it was largely a niche toy for most of the past twenty years, it has really exploded in popularity with the current generation of builders.When I first heard of the movie, I was stoked, but curious as to how a storyline oculd be made to fit such a wide range of topics. Turns out, it was a pretty simple but powerful premise. In short, a Zero-turned-hero’s actions lead to meaningful change in the real world. The official synopsis:The 3D computer animated adventure tells the story of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.
