Shark Night 3D… PG-13?
Aug 21
First and foremost, I’m not one of these people who thinks every horror flick has to be rated R. You can make a perfectly good horror flick with a PG-13 or even PG rating if you do it right. I’ve long stated that the original Halloweenwould be a PG-13 movie if you cut out a couple of entirely gratuitous and inessential breast shots. But I do prefer that my blatant B-movie...
Good and Terrible: 8 Movies Featuring Exorcisms

In a blatant, shameless attempt to garner more hits, I’m making a topical post referencing the recently released film The Last Exorcism.

Color me cynical or impressed, perhaps a bit of both, but some part of me thinks this is probably going to be the film’s signature moment...
Clash of the Titans: It’s Better Than Awful…
Apr 04
I am aware that this counts for virtually nothing, but I think the new Clash of the Titans earns a few points for not trying too hard. There’s no attempt to turn mythology on its head, no effort to “modernize” the story beyond the obvious special effects upgrades. There’s something almost traditional about how straightforward this story is. The “hero” is...
