Resident Evil: Retribution - Movie Review

I have been a moderate fan of the Resident Evil franchise since the first installment and for me it has been a consistent source of sci-fi action with plenty of Milla Jovovich kicking ass on whatever is thrown her way. There has always been just enough entertainment value to keep me coming back and, even after a major dip down in quality with Retribution, I'm sure I will be back for more.

MIFFF Schedule Has Been Released!

My last post showed you some highlights from the selection of films that will be showing the weekend at the Maelstrom International Fantastic Film Festival. If you missed it CLICK HERE! This time around we have the schedule of all of the films being shown! 

MIFFF Lineup Announced

What is MIFFF, you ask? The Maelstrom International Fantastic Film Festival is a locally produced showcase of films submitted from around the world and will be taking place October 5th-7th. The focus is on the horror, science fiction, fantasy, and animation genres and all films are screened at the SIFF Film Center and SIFF Cinema at the Uptown Theater. The organizers of this unique festival have recently announced the lineup of movies that will be a part this year's event including four premiers and two midnight shows!

Looper - Movie Review

Whenever a movie involves time travel, I am always a little skeptical about how the story is going to play out. I mean, whatever happens, they could always just go back in time again and fix it, right? In the case of "Looper", writer/director Rian Johnson has found a decent way to solve the problem (for the most part) by taking the ability to time travel away from the main characters and have it be something that is done to them. I know that doesn't make sense, but it will when you see it.

In more good news: this movie has Emily Blunt in it.

Dredd 3D - Movie Review

There have been more than a couple movies in the last year or so that have deserved far more attention than they received mainly due to not having a big time, bankable movie star on the marquee or the story was a little too out there for main stream audiences. Dredd is unfortunately going to be leading the charge for this category as it is getting next to no action at the box office while blowing away the audiences that have ventured in to see this 3D action spectacle.
