Jeepers Creepers film review

What’s with Hollywood and road trips? Lately it seems like everything evolves from adventures while traveling across highways and small towns. To the credit of the filmmakers who think of these common ideas, most of the time, at least for the time being, these ideas work well. This year alone, we have seen plenty of ….

Keane film review

This intense little item from independent cinematographer-turned-filmmaker Lodge Kerrigan (Clean, Shaven; Claire Dolan) is an exercise in grit. For 90 minutes, this intense character study literally follows around a mourning father, William Keane (Damian Lewis), who tortures himself by wandering around New York City’s Port Authority bus terminal and the bleakest neighborhoods of New Jersey ….

Kill Bill: Volume 1 film review

Sean O’Connell: "writes itself into the Hollywood history books" Quentin Tarantino’s fourth film, Kill Bill, reminds us why we, as a collective moviegoing society, wish he’d work more often than he does. The acclaimed director rocketed to cult stardom with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, cranked out an overlong homage to film noir in Jackie ….

The Grudge film review

Sarah Michelle Gellar and the supernatural go together like peas and carrots, to borrow a phrase from our friend Forrest Gump. The starlet’s signature role had her slaying vampires as Buffy Summers. We all know what Gellar Did Last Summer, but did you recall she also enjoyed a bit part in Wes Craven’s Scream 2 ….

Kill Bill: Volume 2 film review

Editor’s Note: Last year Sean O’Connell and Jeremiah Kipp went at it — Tarantino style — over the merits of Kill Bill: Volume 1. The results were classic: O’Connell loved it, Kipp despised it. With the second installment of the highly-anticipated flick, the tables are turned. Now O’Connell’s got his blade sharpened, and while Kipp ….

Haiku Tunnel film review

Josh Kornbluth is a funny guy. He has a nervous, jittery way about him, delivering his views on the world with gusto, while giving off a unique combination of being both obsessed and lazy. He looks odd, a pudgy schlump with glasses, a balding head, long messy hair on the sides and back, and an ….

Halloween film review

Considered by many to be a modern horror classic, Halloween succeeds through simplicity. This thriller a veritable kickoff for 25plus years of slasher films works because director John Carpenter keeps the story neat and the presentation basic. It’s an approach that gives Halloween an easy, nofrills realism, and a likable indie style that shines through ….

The Descent film review

Year: 2005 The Descent has a fairly simple premise. Six women go on a caving expedition that goes horribly wrong, when they get trapped and stumble upon a race of humaniod-like predator beasts, bent on doing nothing more than having them for supper. But make no mistake, some of the most effective, gripping and frightful ….

Hannibal film review

10 years ago to this day, Hannibal Lecter burned himself into our memory, our catchphrases, and our popular culture, and now, he sits at the head of the table once again, packing movie theatres, dominating dinner conversations, and prompting people to try fava beans. With the release of Hannibal, one of the most anticipated films ….

High Anxiety film review

Mel Brooks does the best of his second-tier works (outside the holy canon of The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein) in this send-up of Hitchcock flicks. The story tries to ride closely to Spellbound and Vertigo, but ventures into virtually all of Hitch’s major works, including the most notable scenes from Psycho, The Birds ….

King Arthur film review

Bruckheimer is back with the costumes, swordplay, sexy Keira Knightley and another talented albeit mildly-experienced director for King Arthur. The formula still works here, but not quite as very as the fun Pirates of the Caribbean. It works for about an hour or so. King Arthur, a historical version of the British myth, strips away ….

Higher Learning film review

I first saw John Singleton’s Higher Learning when I was 17. Back in 1995, my friend and I left the theater feeling like we had seen an important commentary on American society. We felt informed. It just goes to show you how clueless teenagers are. At 23, I rented the movie again and realized that ….

Kinsey film review

In 1948, Alfred Kinsey, a goofy-looking professor from Indiana University previously known (if at all) for his long and laborious study of gull wasps, published Sexual Behavior in the American Male, and the country was never the same. For years, Kinsey had been trekking across the country with his team of researchers, interviewing and studying ….
