Directed by Fede Alvarez (2013) No Ash? Wait, they are remaking Evil Dead, without Bruce Campbell? What? That’s crazy talk. That will never work. The Ash character is now a girl? Remember when the internet world went all flavors of nutters when that information came out about this remake. Guess what? They were WRONG! I …
Directed by Andrés Muschietti 2013 I’ll just say this right off, I’m a big fan of Guillermo del Toro, so I came into Mama with bias. Technically this film was not directed by Guillermo, but by Andrés Muschietti, who actually co-wrote and directed a Spanish short by the same name in 2008. However, when you …
Directed by John Gulager 2012 No, I wasn’t anticipating a cinematic masterpiece, however I was expecting Piranha 3DD to at least be fun like its predecessor. But, alas it is not, in fact I might have dozed off once during my viewing. I would like to tell you it wasn’t all bad, but that my …

Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo 2012 I remember seeing the trailer for Intruders and honestly thinking what a confusing looking film. Sadly, after watching it, I still feel it’s a bit of a confusing film. However, confusing in not necessarily bad way, but the final act’s big “reveal” is a sort of a stretch. The …

After a much needed break, I have returned from my walkabout. Walkabout, that spontaneous journey through the wilderness of one’s choosing in an effort to satisfy one’s itchy feet, a need to be elsewhere, the craving for the open road, that space over the horizon… You guessed it I walked about the shoes stores across …

We laughed, we cringed, we booed and we laughed some more, because it’s us. That’s we do. I always procrastinate with this list because I see dozens upon dozens of films each year and I’m always somewhat unmoved lately that is. I long for the days of Jason and Freddie. There are just no good …
Juan de los Muertos (original title) Directed by Alejandro Brugués 2012 How can a film go wrong when you include Sid Vicious crooning Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ on its soundtrack I ask you?
