Legion: Liberate Me Ex Infernis

August 4th, 2010

Legion is the movie that dares to ask the question, “What if we remade The Prophecy without all that troublesome plot and characterization?” Loud, incoherent, and notably lacking in Viggo Mortenson taking a turn as Satan, Legion could be used as promotional material in the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement! Ha! Internet hyperbole! Seriously, though, it [...]

Just Friends: The Blind Idiot Universe

July 17th, 2010

The review that will leave you asking… “Why?” The first scene of Just Friends treats us to the sight of Ryan Reynolds in a fat suit and retainer, mugging for the camera as he croons a ballad into a mirror. His chin disappears into a bulbous mass of fake flesh, from which two beady eyes [...]

Jennifer’s Body (2009): Honest to Bog

January 27th, 2010

Well, if so, Mutant Chronicles is the movie for you. As the title deftly implies, Mutant Chronicles is the chronicle of some mutants, and how they killed some guys [...]

I imagine we’re nowhere near the nadir of bullshit Avatar stories in the media, but here’s a good candidate: Taiwanese man dies while watching Avatar! A 42-year-old Taiwanese man with a history of high blood pressure apparently died from a stroke while watching the film, Agence France Presse reported. In a truly awesome stroke of [...]

Movies I Will Not Be Seeing: 2010 Edition

January 18th, 2010

Daybreakers: I didn’t have the heart to post on Icine and say this looks like a complete piece of shit. There was a time when I regarded the presence of Sam Neill as some sort of mark of quality; even an uneven mess like In the Mouth of Madness was rendered enjoyable by Neill’s well-meaning [...]
