[FlashForward] feels like Lost lite and that can’t be a good thing.

The Crazies is a movie whose engine runs solely on its director’s anger and it’s a pretty amazing thing to watch for that reason alone.

his isn’t a slasher movie gussied up to look like a period piece. It is first and foremost a drama, which actually casts into great relief the inevitable murder and gore. A strong cast helps the whole thing along.

The Stepfather feels perfunctory, with all the basic steps of a slasher with not much personality and no new twists.

Alone in the Dark II is a poor movie without even the over-the-top badness to make it fun.

Righteous Ties is a clever twist on a well worn genre, though the blending of crime and comedy doesn’t always work.

It’s sort of mystifying that the movie Whiteout turns out to be as bad as it is. The book by Greg Rucka & Steve Lieber was tense, claustrophobic fun. Director Dominic Sena knows his way around action and big budget movies. Ditto Kate Beckinsale. You’ve got a great setting and strong [...]

The Toolbox Murders won’t let exploitation fans down. If this is your genre, you should own this.

The House on Sorority Row is an uneven ’80s slasher with a few inspired moments, though anyone who finds the genre tiresome should stay away.

Pity the documentary – the saddest and most ignored film genre.

This special is kind of a shame, considering how much of an open, bleeding heart many folks have for Christmas.

It’s a Wonderful Life is a perfect movie, one that accomplishes everything it sets out to do and does it in a way no other movie has done since.

That Humpday is based on such a simple idea and that the simple idea had never really been exploited – considering all the buddy comedies we’ve seen even just since Judd Apatow hit the scene – is kind of a miracle.

The sci-fi slasher flick Hardware comes on like some mad nightmarish version of Short Circuit

Eagles Over London is a grainy, low budget, hard-nosed WWII film from the ’60s that turns a game of war time cat and mouse into a enjoyable couple of hours.

The original Miracle on 34th Street, made all the way back in 1947, still rings true and stands easily along other classics of the Christmas movie genre.

If you’re the kind of person who watches whatever is left of The Bad Seed when you find it on TV, this movie will probably bring you a lot of happiness.
