Death Tunnel

This is "inspired" by a real life TB hospital in Kentucky. Because I grew up in southern Indiana, I'll always check out any film set in Indiana, Ohio or Kentucky. Sadly, this film is more style than it is substance. I will admit that the peopl...

Species

I haven't seen this film in a few years - probably since it came out in fact - and I was surprised at how different the film was from what I remembered it. The film is about a woman who is a combination of human and alien dna who goes around wan...

The X-Files: I Want to Believe

I remember seeing the initial commercials for the X-Files television show back in the day. It sounded pretty cool and I was looking forward to it. When I found out that it was an ongoing series and not a mini=series I was a bit disappointed bec...

Battlespace

I've had this movie on my harddrive for a long time but never got around to watch it because it was encoded in some weird format that my modded X-Box wouldn't play. So I finally got around to watching it and it is really an odd little movie. Ba...

Fiend without a Face

A good old fashioned scifi horror movie. What makes this interesting is that it is about a US military base in Canada and quite a bit of time is spent on how the Canadians and the American soldiers don't get along. I thought it was kind of inte...

My Little Eye

I've probably had this movie for more than a year and I just now got around to watching it. Well I guess you can't accuse me of seeing every movie as soon as I can... The basic idea of the film is Big Brother meets a slasher film. Like big Bro...

Hancock

Another superhero movie. This one wasn't based on a comic book though. I was interested in the concept but unfortunately it delves into conventionality at the end. Basically, Will Smith is Superman who drinks and has a bad attitude. He is dru...

The Long Riders

This is yet another retelling of the James-Younger Gang but the gimmick here is that all the brothers are actually played by brothers. So we have Stacy and James Keach, David, Kieth, and Robert Carradine, Dennis and Randy Quaid, and Christopher ...

The Dark Knight

Some folks are saying this was too long. I didn't feel that way seeing it. There were some parts that seemed unneeded or that could have been handled in more concise ways but I didn't want it to be over or anything. One of the things that I've...

Wall-E

This is a Pixar film so it is certain to make gobs and gobs of money. It probably should too because it is loads better than pretty much any other animated movie out since the last Pixar film. There are some pretty weird messages in the film th...
