Read more: Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017)Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017) O.K., I knew this would be a bad idea. The original Jeepers Creepers was a dark, creepy and effective horror movie until about the last 20 minutes. It has been awhile since I saw the original, but I remember the introduction to the Creeper was pretty terrifying. Jeepers Creepers 2 was…

Harpoon: Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (2009)

Read more: Harpoon: Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (2009)This Icelandic film was a much better movie than the title suggested. In fact, the title was a lurid and stupid one. The original title was closer to the truth as it was promoted in Iceland as “Tryllir“, meaning something between Thriller and Horror. More a Thriller than a straight up slasher film, Harpoon was…

Read more: Cockney’s vs. Zombies (2012)Bumbling bank robbers get more than they bargained for when the heist goes awry. While escaping with hostages, they discover that London has been overtaken by zombies. This is a wonderfully cheeky concept that works well in this movie. This film has stylistic flashbacks and jump cuts reminiscent of LOCK, STOCK & TWO SMOKING BARRELS,…

Read more: Jennifer’s Body (2009)We don’t even get to see her body. (Note: I originally wrote this review in 2010. Reviewing the cast now and seeing J.K. Simmons and Chris Pratt listed is hilarious.) One of these days, I’m hoping that all of this writing is going to lead me to a place where I might get to interview…

Read more: Blade Runner 2049- A cinephile’s dream come trueI have seen a few movies in my lifetime, but seldom had I been as moved as I was with this cinematic masterpiece. Blade Runner 2049 is a cinephile’s dream come true. I just returned from my second viewing and although it did not have the Wow! of the initial, unspoiled viewing, the second viewing…

Read more: The SnowmanThe Iceman Cometh. The Snowman. Oh man, am I proud of that tagline. I always try to avoid using clunky puns in my taglines, and this movie just begs for something hacky like “This movie leaves everything out in the cold” or “You just got snowed in” or “‘Snow joke this movie is bad.” For…

Read more: The Foreigner (2017)Film Review- The Foreigner (2017) Fair Value of The Foreigner: $5.00. It’s worth watching on the in-flight movie, but there’s little that’s memorable about this film. Is This Film Worth My Time? The Foreigner is a taut and engaging mixture of vigilante action and espionage. It’s one of the better, more well assembled examples of…
