Oh, M. Night Shyamalan. What hast thou wrought? The mastermind behind The Sixth Sense and Signs brings forth his first R-rated film. But much like Lady in the Water, the film falls flat. In fact, The Happening seems to rely more on shock tactics than any actual story.
Groups of people go into a seemingly comatose state, then proceed to kill themselves. Through a variety of means these folks take their own lives to the horror of those not affected. As the plague spreads, authorities determine it to be one thing: a terrorist attack. Continue reading “The Happening Isn’t All That Happening”

On your mark, get set, and go find another movie to watch. Speed Racer is by far one of the most obnoxious, frustrating, and irritating films I have seen in a long time. I kept asking myself Continue reading “Speed Racer: Stay in the Pit, You’ll Be Better Off!”
Finally, after months of hearing nothing about this film there are now 6 new pictures that have hit the web!
If these don’t tickle your geekiness, nothing will ever make you happy in life. This film looks to have it all. Awesome special effects, an epic adventure, drama, and who knows what else!
All I can say is that I can’t believe I got to be an extra on this film. Wow, just wow.
If you ever wanted to be grossed out, freaked out, and/or be killed by a man in a yellow truck Rest Stop 2 is your ticket into one crazy hell hole. If you’ve never heard of the Rest Stop series, it’s a straight to DVD gruesome horror series. Honestly Rest Stop 2 is not for the faint of heart. If you watch this film late at night, I guarantee that it will disturb the crap out of you. Our very own Ian Dawson, couldn’t watch this film past the first 10 minutes it’s that crazy.
We’re testing out a new series that is more talk-show centric. Yes, it’s not just me on camera anymore! Wow what a concept.
Ian Dawson co-hosts. Now you’ll finally be able to meet the man behind many of the recent reviews on the blog.
Since this is a ‘mashup’ show we’re mixing in multiple products and reviewing them on the fly.
Let us know if this format entertains you more than the previous, single product video review. We probably won’t totally eliminate the single product video review. It’ll be something that goes hand in hand with each other.
On our first episode we review:
