Directed by Timur Bekmambetov (2012) Fourscore and seven years ago – sadly that’s all I remember. Don’t get me wrong I love American History but my period of knowledge is World War II. Ask me about the Zimmerman telegram, I’m your girl. Wait that was WWI, nevermind. Several of my friends are teachers and they …
I haven’t read the books, but I will see The Hunger Games the film. One big reason is Lenny Kravitz, I would watch him read a soup can label, as long as he does it sexy. Go on Lenny be sexy! Set in a future where the Capitol selects a boy and girl from the …
I know the freak out is usually reserved for Fridays, but this my friends couldn’t wait. Behold the video for ‘DoYaThing.’ And in case you haven’t heard, ‘DoYaThing’ is a collaboration track between Gorillaz, Andre 3000 and LCD Soundsytem’s James Murphy done for Converse. Even if you don’t dig the Gorillaz, or any of the …
Directed by Ti West. 2012 The Yankee Pedlar Inn is about to go out of business. So prices have to be really great right? Before you pack your bags to go on vacay I need to warn you, there might possibly be a small problem with a ghost already in residence. The Innkeepers stars The …
I saw TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL last year at some film festival and I have to admit my memory is sort of cloudy, but I can tell you this movie is fun! The premise alone offers a completely different take on the horror road trip through a small town film.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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? Answer is you cannot. This film actually had my approval with its title, ‘Juan of the Dead’. Remember that cool little British film, …
