Weekly Review 57: KILL, HOS2EL, SACRAMENT

Three more horror movies at home this week were joined by screening of Gone Girl, Men, Women and Children and Annabelle. With a fair amount of work on my platter and a barrage of visitors, my at home viewing wasn’t what it’s been lately. Nonetheless, I present a short selection of great, good and bad....

Out in Theaters: ANNABELLE

Out in Theaters: ANNABELLE

The added disappointment of serializing a film whose horrors were without bound, Annabelle sullies the good name of the Warren's demonology franchise. Peddling in doll stares and wanna-be ominous monotony,…

One thing is for certain: you won't find more camel drool in any other movie to come out this year. And even though the journey doesn't ever conjure up the…

A Flawless, Expert, Foolproof Ranking of David Fincher’s Films

A Flawless, Expert, Foolproof Ranking of David Fincher’s Films

Seeing that Gone Girl screens here in Seattle tonight, I’ve taken it upon myself to go through and rank the films of auteur filmmaker David Fincher. Fincher is simply one of our generation’s greatest filmmakers, offering dark, twisted and thrilling dramas riddled with psychological horror and saddled with a tone so black, it’d make a...

Weekly Review 56: SESSION, IT, SANGRE, MANHUNTER, PONTYPOOL, SLACKER, BORGMAN

Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve gotten through all of Survivor on Hulu or I just have had more time on my hands lately but once again, I have a huge slate of movies for this batch of Weekly Review. Horror flicks from four decades made an appearance; some of which were great, some exhaustively...

Out in Theaters: THE EQUALIZER

Out in Theaters: THE EQUALIZER

But Fuqua never squanders his greatest asset, Denzel, showing that he knows how to milk every last drop out of his magnetic star power. Gone is the toothy, chatty Denzel…

Out in Theaters: THE BOXTROLLS

Out in Theaters: THE BOXTROLLS

But that's because this time around, Laika has moved the focus onto the characters, who look better realized than ever before. They're much less choppy, almost to the point of…

Weekly Review 55: RASHOMON, JU-ON, SISTER'S, FIEND, ABYSS, HELLRAISER, POULTRY, SOPHIE

This week has been a madhouse of sickness, screenings – The Boxtrolls, Tracks, A Walk Among the Tombstones, The Equalizer – and having nothing better to do than watch a bunch of movies at home. From 1950’s Akira Kurosawa to 2011 Lynn Shelton, I went on a tear of international and domestic, the old and...

Out in Theaters: A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES

Out in Theaters: A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES

With easy humor courtesy of Neeson's growled quips, well-directed drizzly dramatics and a thick air of hardboiled, gloomy atmospherics, A Walk Among The Tombstones brings to life the aged marvel…
