Miracle Mile (1988) Review

It has nothing to do with a film being bad. Bad films I dont wonder about. The question came up again with writer/director Steve De Jarnatts 1988 apocalyptic romantic comedyMiracle Mile. The answer was the same as it usually is. He took the script elsewhere but it only seemed to disturb and upset most people. If it had come out a few short years later, it would have seemed laughably outdated....

Bullet to the Head, Review

You don’t have to be a “young gun” to pull off a good action flick. January is the month of comparing Arnold Schwarzeneggers return to every other action film out there. Jimmy Bobo (Stallone) and Louis Blanchard (Jon Seda) are accomplished hit men for hire. Can this odd relationship of law and lawlessness work together without putting each other in the grave? Bullet to the Headis based on a famous French graphic novel,Du Plomb Dans La Tete....

The recent inauguration of President Ronald Reagan has all the three letter agencies nervous, specifically the FBI. Whether they are happy about it does not really matter, they are committed to the cause....

A GLIMPSE INSIDE THE MIND OF CHARLES SWAN III, Review

He then comes back from the dead to tap dance with them. (We are frankly surprised Chuck Lorre has not yet filed suit . Swan, Sheen fails to win over the audience or gain our sympathy. Instead he only continues to promote the negative notions he wants audiences to carry with them. Despite the many scenes that are focused entirely on his character, Sheen is an extremely dull presence. Roman Coppola: you are no Chuck Lorre....

Willard (1971) Review

Willard Stiles, overlooked geek icon. As geeky characters in film go, Willard Stiles is a too often overlooked role model. What makes him a Geek is not a love of comic books or science fiction, but his personality. Hes a loner, socially awkward, withdrawn, maladjusted and misunderstood. It was Willard and notCatcher in the Rye, where we finally came to recognize our own alienation. Most important of all, though, was Bruce Davison....

American Dad, Season 8, Episode 10: Blood Crieth Unto Heaven, Review

First unfunny episode of Season 8 . Last nights episode ofAmerican Dadbrought the series into the strange and, uncharacteristically, NOT funny. I tune intoAmerican Dadto enjoy the overall silliness of it all; an alien living with a C.I.A. agent and his family, who after 10 excellent years, each have their own place in my heart. I dont want anything more than that. I dont want anything different than what happens in the every day environment of the Smith family....

Skulls of the Shogun (Xbox 360), Review

17-BIT’s debut game is good, but is it worth your $15? The game is drawn in a beautifully vibrant cartoon style. One of the first things I noticed when starting a game ofSkulls of the Shogunwas the background music. The creative music just adds to the fun that isSkulls of the Shogun. After the beautifully crafted animation cut scenes, the player takes control of General Akamato. You quickly will learn that positioning and strategy are most important inSOTS....
