The ABCs of Death, Review

The ABCs of Death is a movie romp through the world of horror from A to Z. What an ingenius concept! This film contains 26 unrelated vignettes directed by some of the best names in indie horror.

Oz the Great and Powerful, Review

This movie starts as the original Oz did, in black-and-white. The klutzy performer finds himself in the middle of a ferocious tornado. that will be his after killing the witch. Still, it is a winding road to get there. But, hes certainly at his liveliest when he has a flesh and blood human to work opposite of. This flatness presents a lack of imagination equal to the storys enslavement to its effects....

Batman Incorporated #8 (DC Comics) The Boy Wonder Returns: Review

MAJOR SPOILERS for Batman Incorporated #8 await! You probably know what they are. Because, yknow, spoilers. Then again, most of those people probably think Superman is gonna show up inAvengers 2.

Constantine (2005), Lookback/Review

Sometimes so dark it’s hard to see them. Is there a special place in hell for him? So much so, its distracting. Constantine is paying an exorcism house call on the Spanish side of Los Angeles. He performs exorcisms to buy his way into heaven. You cant stop spiritual visions with anti-psychotics. This isnt supposed to happen. People are finger-puppets to them, not doorways. On the other side of town, a woman takes a header from the roof of a mental asylum....

Motel Hell (1980) Review

Motel Hell was on its way to be a great black comedy, about cannibals . Motel Helldoesnt seem to have much social satire in mind. In fact, it began life as a straight, ugly, little horror film. But thanks to its premise it began evolving into a black comedy during production. But when Universal dumped it for being too weird, he dropped out too. Sad thing in all this is that the film had real comic potential....
