My quick rating - 3.4/10. I like the poster LOL. That image is a hell of a lot more frightening than this one-man show with Christopher Lee Page wandering around his house, finding notes it seems he wrote to himself ( Memento , anyone?). The story is that he wakes in an empty suburban house with no memory and blood smeared on his arm. As he frantically washes off the blood, he discovers that it is not his. He finds sticky notes around the house that read: "Don't stay in th

My quick rating - 6.5/10. Three Extremes is actually 3 unique stories released as one film. Each story represents a different "idea," so to speak. Without going into detail per story, each is crafted exceptionally well in all aspects of true film. Granted, this is a foreign movie, so it is subtitled (the version I saw), but this does not distract from the acting in the slightest. The acting in "Cut" stood out most to me as the crazy man slowly fell apart throughout his hostag

My quick rating - 3.9/10. If “high-octane thrill ride” was the mission statement for Kill Shot, then somewhere along the way, the engine stalled, and someone forgot to hire a stunt coordinator. What we’re left with is a movie that sounds like a good time on paper. Terrorists posing as hunters are tracking down $100 million lost in a plane crash. Instead, it plays out like a forgotten late-night cable filler from the early 2000s. Kill Shot kicks things off with that premise, w

My quick rating - 5.6/10. Anticlimactic ending (that was my one comment at the end.) Insidious: The Red Door marks a change for the long-running horror franchise, as Patrick Wilson directs for the first time while series creator James Wan remains involved as a producer. It’s a natural evolution considering Wilson has been the backbone of the series from the beginning, and The Red Door looks to put the lid on the Lambert saga by dragging them, once again, into the dark re

My quick rating - 5.8/10. Always been a huge fan of Jackie Chan long before he made it over to the USA with Rumble in the Bronx . Unfortunately, I can't see John Cena , so I'm not sure how he is LOL. Hidden Strike tries to take the idea of adrenaline-fueled action to the next level in a way that's almost reminiscent of a comic book come to life. The unique pairing and non-stop action scenes almost make it achieve its purpose. Almost. Set against the backdrop of a China-run

My quick rating - 1.9/10. I am going out on a limb and assuming not seeing the first of these won't much matter LOL. It is looking to be an anthology of flix with the host being some dude's head announcing them. This first clip is trying to make you believe it is found footage of a snuff film. Not in the slightest convincing or gross. If it stays this bad, I'll comment live through it. I am noticing a theme here. Very amateur, which makes sense if you look at the poster below

My quick rating - 5.2/10. Some nice camerawork. Definitely took the less is more approach and used the lighting & sound effects to try and create tension. The Hopewell Haunting revolves around a skeptical and apprehensive preacher ( Ted Ferguson ) hired for a spine-chilling investigation of an ancient, decrepit house. The result is a haunting story that balances suspense, atmosphere, and character development. The preacher's reactions are pretty amusing as the homeowners con

My quick rating - 5.9/10. It finally looks like Nicolas Cage is clawing his way back into serious territory with Sympathy for the Devil , arriving right on the heels of the wildly entertaining Renfield . For a while there, I thought Cage ’s legendary intensity had been buried under a mountain of quick-paycheck projects, so seeing him turn in a committed, high-energy performance here made me sigh in relief. His latest thriller delivers a tense, claustrophobic ride that mostly

My quick rating - 6.3/10. I am always game for some good, mindless action. And the latest in the franchise, Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts , delivers a fresh take on the iconic universe that should please long-time fans and newcomers alike. Deciding to go with less established actors instead of more familiar ones was bold, and it still finds a way to lift itself up via an interesting storyline and outstanding special effects. It also takes a bold step by minimizing the role
