There was some speculation, from weeks ago, about the trailer for The Day The Earth Stood still playing in front of Hancock. It didn’t play in front of my screening and if it played in front of anyone else’s, we would’ve heard all about it yesterday. Today is an entirely different story though.

Leave The Gun, Grab The Cannolis!

Imagine a world full of death; full of destruction and full of despair. Imagine a world where war is destroying cities one by one, until it consumes entire countries.

The Ghost Gets an Upgrade

June 10th, 2008 · No Comments

This one completely came out of left field. Mamoru Oshii is already hard at work on an upgraded version of the cult-classic Ghost in the Shell, dubbed Ghost in the Shell 2.0. The upgrade will feature updated visuals using modern animation techniques. Considering I still think the original version looks stunning, I don’t really see [...]

Blu-Ray Review: Cloverfield

June 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Rating:

Way back in January, Cloverfield was finally unleashed upon us. Months and months of hype originally gave me mixed feelings but I couldn’t argue with the final results.

Frontiere(s) (2007) - KamuiX

May 21st, 2008 · 6 Comments

Rating:

Much like the J-horror boom a few years back, it seems like France is the new hotspot for kick-ass horror films. Films such as Haute Tension, Them, and Inside take extreme, harrowing horror to a whole new level, and I personally loved all of them (Them to a lesser extent than the other two [...]
