Diary of the Dead disappoints… by being too good. How's that for a weird critique? If Land of the Dead was George Romero's post-9/11/Iraq War zombie movie, Diary is his flat out 9/11 film. It's back to the night of the living dead, except it's taking… Continue reading
Apparently, I get to review all of the screenplays for upcoming films featuring combat veterans with loose screws… Having recently revisited the Rambo franchise, I was surprised by a couple of things. 1) Despite its superior pedigree (and by that, I… Continue reading
When it was announced that Cate Blanchett would reprise her role as The Virgin Queen in a sequel to 1998's Elizabeth (the film that vaulted her to international movie star status), there was much rejoicing amongst Anglophiles. Not only were they getting the… Continue reading
In the last four years, the work of Thai filmmaker Pen-ek Ratanaruang has grown more alienated and interior. The trend began with his career-high Last Life In The Universe, which built a love story in spite of language and cultural barriers. The follow-up and… Continue reading
Wrong Turn 2 is available today on DVD. You can buy it through CHUD by clicking here. This review is just for the film, which I saw at a special screening as part of Screamfest LA, not for the DVD features. Joe Lynch hasn't reinvented horror with Wrong Turn… Continue reading

Tony Gilroy's directorial debut, Michael Clayton, blares its brilliance over the opening credits, as Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson), the manic depressive ace litigator for Kenner, Bach & Ledeen (a corporate law armada blasting away in defense of a massive… Continue reading
The Punisher stunk. You know it. I know it. Lionsgate knew it – they had a really tough time marketing the Artisan film in the wake of the acquisition of the company (it is, after all, a film in which “punishment” is meted out via parking citation – not quite… Continue reading
Few things at Toronto this year made me happier than the fact that I'm Not There, Todd Haynes' much-questioned ‘biography' of Bob Dylan, was good. Scratch that. Albeit uneven, the film glows with outrageously great moments, many featuring Cate… Continue reading
"[Ridley] Scott is a decorator, a borrower, and a synthesist; like a great machine he contains all striking images and can deliver and fuse them, so long as the product is impersonal." That's from David Thomson's dismissive entry on the master in The New… Continue reading
