MOTW: Bringing Out The Dead
2014-06-05 17:10:40 Bringing Out The Dead (1999) is an under watched gem starring Nick Cage, Patricia Arquette, John Goodman, Ving Rhames (with hair!), directed by Martin Scorsese. Wondering why you haven’t heard of it? Don’t feel bad: It was buried under a year of big movies including Star Wars Episode I, The Sixth Sense, The […]

MOTW: The Green Hornet (2011)
2014-05-20 08:00:56 The Green Hornet (2011) is a fun and far too maligned Michel Gondry (most famous for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2004) film starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou. Great moments include them driving around an office building in half a car and some excellent quotes such as: Mike Axford: You are […]

Dick, A Scanner Darkly stars Keanu Reeves, Pre-Iron Man Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrolsen, Winona Ryder, and Rory Cochrane (who plays the funnest […]
MOTW: Outlander (2008)
2014-05-17 14:05:00 Outlander is one of those low budget (if $45 million is low!) sic-fi films that never quite made it during it’s cinematic release. James Caviezel plays Kainan, who’s spacecraft crash lands in a lake in Norway, circa 709 AD. He soon discovers that an alien monster was on board the ship that threatens […]
MOTW: Logan’s Run
2014-05-17 13:42:46 The year before Star Wars ruled the cinemas, Logan’s Run (1976) was released and impressed sic-fi lovers the world over. The craft put into the film is in nearly every shot. The models, miniatures, set design, and special effects are pretty good for the time. The acting is not so great – especially […]
MOTW: Enter The Void
2014-05-16 01:28:31 Today’s Fave film is the king of Acid Trip movies Enter The Void. Probably the closest you can ever come to frying on acid without having to actually consume LCD, Enter The Void is a mind-trip through the eyes of the kid brother / amateur drug dealer Oscar and his bordering inappropriate (read: […]
