This is the movie Event Horizon probably aspired to be, if it didn’t give up and go with the lame supernatural angle. Leave it to Danny Boyle of 28 Days Later and Shallow Grave to bring out the horror, fright … Continue reading →

Judd Apatow, Hollywood’s current golden child of comedy, loans his production company and credibility to Seth Rogen (an Apatow regular) for this coming-of-age picture. It’s a fouler-mouthed version of Weird Science with Dazed and Confused‘s flow (or snapshot) of one … Continue reading →

Thanks to the backlog created by getting sick, the holidays and my general apathy, I have made a promise to myself that I can’t rent any new movies until I finish posting the last three I saw. I also felt … Continue reading →
