Virtuosity is a science-fiction thriller made in the fabulous year of 1995. This year marked some of the greater underrated cyberpunk films to be released in Hollywood. A fine example is the violent Johnny Mnemonic. What made Virtuosity so special might be the fact of it’s racial conflicts in the film.
In the beginning of the [...]
Despite Clive Barker’s weaknesses as a director and lack of story cohesion, he always manages to direct a film that is at the very least interesting. Nightbreed (adapted from Barker’s novel Cabal) is one of those films. The film is a jumbled mess of beautiful cinematography, unconventionally engrossing acting, and dark views into the discriminating [...]
Aliens is one of those few film sequels that is more highly regarded than the original film. I would have to disagree with that popular opinion as I see Alien as a more innovative and important film. Alien is a film that has it’s setting in a Sci-Fi background but owes more haunted house horror. [...]
Marilyn Monroe is the iconic dumb blonde. She paved the way for dumb blonde stereotypes that still carry a lot of resonance today. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even a natural blonde (but a redhead). I doubt she had much confliction about the affect that her film characters have influenced American (and international) societies [...]
Just like the tag line reads, “Don’t judge a book by the cover.” Little Noises is not a comedy, and nor is it a happy film. The humor of the DVD release is one thing to appreciate. There is none of anything you see on the cover art. Before you begin to judge this film [...]

Doggy Poo is exactly what you’d think it would be, plus more. What Doggy Poo essentially starts out as, seems like a Christmas story or even a story about a lone “thing” trying to make his keep in the world but this film morphs slowly into a film which seems to force religion onto the [...]
Almost all of the new horror films of ‘08 are horrendous. It’s nice to see one that is “so bad it’s alright.” The Ruins is exactly that. After a bunch of stupid kids with perfectly sculpted abs get trapped on a ruin of a pyramid, they realize they are quarantined by the locals due to [...]
Director Carlos Batts had a very interesting idea. He reinterpreted a parody of rural American Life and made it grotesque. Batts saw something different in the painting that not many other people saw. American Gothic attests that. There is no other film that I have seen like American Gothic. Batts, an acclaimed photographer, obviously had [...]
