This remake of the 1985 classic vampire movie of the same name has some interesting updates and delicious performances. It's a little bit smart, a smidgen witty, and mostly fun. Anton Yelchin plays Charley Brewster a high school kid who is man enough to wear puce-colored designer sneakers. He lives with his single mother Toni Collette in a suburban community outside Las Vegas. After…
This is a movie like no other. It's a sequel with virtually nothing to do with the first one other that people turning into plants. There are no trolls, only goblins. The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen, or maybe it's just the dialog the actors have been given. Nothing really makes any sense. As the story begins, we find a…

This has got to be one of the most brutal and intense movies I've seen in recent years. I heard it was extreme, but I was not prepared. A punk rock band is on the road living out…
I had higher hopes for this one than I probably should have. The weird thing is that I usually enjoy slow building, atmospheric movies a lot. The plot was both mysterious and intricate. The main story follows two girls at a Catholic boarding school before a holiday break. One girl struggling with the possibility of being pregnant and delays her parents' pickup by telling…
It was the late 90s and I had heard about this little indie science fiction horror movie about some people stuck inside a maze. When I watched it, I was amazed at the execution of such a simple concept and how it was both satisfying and unsettling.
