WATCH NOW Gilbert Andrew’s (The Dead Inside) Edge Of Extinction is a dull piece of post-apocalyptic filmmaking from the UK, which as a more suiting name is The Brink. Admittedly, an apocalyptic scenario may not be the most appropriate thing to relax to right now. Then again, if there is no future to worry about […]

WATCH NOW The original Ghostbusters is not an action/adventure movie. But to kids in the 80’s who grew up with the movies and the cartoon show, the idea of being a Ghostbuster was the stuff of adventure fantasies. As a kid I owned a Ghost Zapper Projector and went around in my makeshift Ghostbusters uniform

WATCH NOW “The Shallows” is a thriller that runs for 87 minutes and for the most part showcases a lagoon where an injured surfer battles a shark. There isn’t much story apart from that, and what little the movie tries to create does not aid in making it any better. The situations are primal and

The overused alien invasion is replaced with a refreshing twist, and though the central premise is intriguing, the movie rests too heavily on its ending twist. Because of this,
WATCH NOW Just as I feared, The Mummy Rebirth begins as agonizingly as I expected it to. Sebek, played by Shamel Hashish, walks through a laughably crafted CGI desert while clad in a horrifically crafted Halloween outfit that looks like an ancient Egyptian god. He goes down rocky stairs to meet Reheema, played by Taylor

WATCH NOW It is almost 25 years since Gavin de Becker wrote The Gift of Fear (more specifically, 24 years). To make clear a comparison of the film and the violence literature produced in the same epoch would serve this book better. 1997 was the year of Titanic and Dante’s Peak. It is not unexpected

WATCH NOW The neutral American ex-patriate Rick is ridiculed by the arrogant German Major Strasser making it clear to him how he will feel when the German troops make a dash into the New York city or any other city. For many years now, we have not had enemies and one feels so remote from

WATCH NOW A great film has the ability to portray the unfathomable. Protagonists undergo an unacceptable level of emotional and physical pain in a bid to connect with the audience. We can enjoy that suffering in the comfort of our living room or a theater. Unfortunately, there are instances when such tests of endurance feel
