  • Paranormal Activity

     

    Paranormal_Activity_poster

    We’ve all heard ghost stories before. Whether it’s while sitting around the campfire, other people’s experiences, or even your own experiences. But When it comes to Demons…that’s another story.

    I am a very STRONG believer in ghosts, Poltergeists and pretty much any kind of paranormal activities (movie title placement ftw). So naturally seeing the title “Paranormal activity” i thought, “WIN”. The problem is I didn’t know anything about the movie. Here it is October 24th and i have only known about the movie for literally 3 days. I did some background checking for the movie, Learned it was a mockumentary, Learned about the Demand it “game” i guess you can say, and notice this movie has gained ALOT of hype since it came out in 12 select cities back in September. Some mixed reviews kind of threw me off, but i thought, “Screw it, I’m going to go see it, skip the hype and reviews.” Boy, am I glad i did.

  • Happy Friday the 13th!!!

    It’s that time of year again. The time when you lock your doors, and bar you window, ESPECIALLY if you’re in the woods of Camp Crystal Lake. Today is Friday the 13th, and to celebrate it, we decided we’d post a special video review in honor of the year’s most deadliest day. Enjoy!!!

  • Where the Wild Things Are

    This is a guest review submitted by Ryan Hartley. Thanks Ryan!

    “What do you do with the mad that you feel?
    When you feel so mad you could bite.
    When the whole wide world seems oh so wrong, and nothing you do seems very right.”
    – Fred Rogers

    It’s okay for kids to have emotions.  They don’t know how to control them and there will be times when they get out of hand.  And while it’s a parent’s instinct to protect their child from harm, to protect them from their own emotions is a tragedy.

  • The NEW A-Team?

    new-a-team
    Is this reality, or just a fantasy…? Please be a dream! AAAH!

    The new A-Team consists of:
    Bradley Cooper
    Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson
    Sharlto Copley
    Liam Neeson

    Float or sink? Since it’s a remake, I’m wary of the results…these new age directors don’t do the 80s justice. Why can’t anyone create something remotely new? Please?

    Hollywood: Quit messing with my 80s!

  • Saw 6

    Intro:

    For ages and ages men have loved to solve challenging mysteries. Making connections and getting the whole picture is an awesome thing to experience. Relating situations together to uncover the real truth or to reveal the chronological order of events. This is EXACTLY what you have to do in order to understand the somewhat complex plot of the 2009 release of Kevin Greutert’s “Saw 6.” (more…)

    Just a quick post to let you know about a (hopefully obvious) change. The NEW and refreshed SquidFlicks logo has replaced the OLD and historic logo at the top of the website.

  • First Look: The Chemical King

    Folks, this was pulled from the site a year ago because the film was in several competitions. I have re-released it for viewing pleasure. Enjoy! 🙂

    Big news, everyone! I recently contacted my cousin, Ellen Jones, who has been working as the producer of a new Independent Film called The Chemical King. SquidFlicks has the honor of being the first non-production entity to view the movie, so this will be a world-wide exclusive that you cannot afford to miss!

    The Chemical King is a movie about a boy who runs away from home and meets a beautiful girl. Unfortunately, he is about the biggest nerd in the world and has less than a zero percent chance of having any interaction with her.

    How does he solve his problem? Well, he takes his genius and makes the world’s first WORKING love potion, all from household materials. However, as always, his feelings for her are starting to fade, and the potion shows no signs of wearing off…

    The movie will be reviewed in a group format, much like the very popular Nightmare on Elm Street SquidFlicks Movie Marathon. Ellen sent me the DVD a couple of days ago, and I have yet to watch it. I will wait until the entire group watches so that we are all honest! 😉

    More updates on this soon!

  • 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.

  • SquidFlicks Thanksgiving 08 Special Preview

    This is a re-post from last year that was pulled. Just for kicks! (We are planning some awesome new Thanksgiving stuff for this year!)

    Well, since Turkey Day is coming up here in the US of A, Patrick and I thought it was only fitting to do a Thanksgiving Special since the Halloween special was cancelled at the last second. (sorry about that…)

    The Thanksgiving special will be the video review of the Independent Film The Chemical King, which was produced by my cousin, Ellen Jones.

    As a matter of fact, the review was filmed last night, and I think that it is the best video SquidFlicks has made yet. I hope to have the final cut up on the Internet by mid-week. There will be a new post to highlight the video!

    See you around!
