Directed by Drew Goddard. With Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz. Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin, where they get more than they bargained for, discovering the truth behind the cabin in the woods. Not exactly a pleasurable movie to watch, but a fun and entertaining one with a great ending. I’d totally watch a prequel where they go into details on the organization and how they got to where they are in the film. Maybe set it in the 70’s or 80’s so you have room for a sequel story to come after...

Directed by Sam Hargrave. With Chris Hemsworth, Bryon Lerum, Ryder Lerum, Rudhraksh Jaiswal. Tyler Rake, a fearless black market mercenary, embarks on the most deadly extraction of his career when he’s enlisted to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. Here’s the setting: some third world country that has a horrible yellow tint problem where horrible things are happening to horrible people. Our hero, as played by Chris Hemsworth, is a brutal merc that’s hired to go save one of the less horrible people in the film. He has to kill a couple hundred people to get...

Directed by Andrew Patterson. With Sierra McCormick, Jake Horowitz, Gail Cronauer, Bruce Davis. In the twilight of the 1950s, on one fateful night in New Mexico, young switchboard operator Fay and charismatic radio DJ Everett discover a strange audio frequency that could change their small town and the future forever. If you’ve read any of the reviews of this movie that made it sound to be a “Brilliant” or “ingenious” film, you’ve already had it ruined. Not because this is a bad film, but because it’s a perfectly “meh” film. It’s ok in what it shows, but a third of...

Directed by Jeff Schaffer, Alec Berg, David Mandel. With Scott Mechlowicz, Jacob Pitts, Michelle Trachtenberg, Travis Wester. Dumped by his girlfriend, a high school grad decides to embark on an overseas adventure in Europe with his friends. They sure don’t make em like this any more, which honestly I think they had their time and place, but we don’t really have room for the sex comedy like this any more, though I’d love to see a modern try. This was the unrated version, which had one scene with one woman’s boobs, then another scene that was twice as long with...

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. With Carole Lombard, Robert Montgomery, Gene Raymond, Jack Carson. A couple who have been married for three years are shocked to learn that their marriage is not legally valid. I’m pretty sure this is the movie that the Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie film was very very losely based on, it’s a hoot to watch, but there’s a sliver of emotional abuse going on here that I just can’t really agree with.

Charlie Murder is a side-scrolling beat ’em up game with role-playing game elements. Players select one of five band members to play as; the lead vocalist and band namesake Charlie Murder, guitarist Lester Deth, bassist Tommy Homicide, backup vocalist Kelly "Skelekitten" Skitten, or drummer The Rexecutioner. Players can complete the game alone, or can team together with up to three other people, through either offline (with all of the players using the same Xbox 360) or online cooperative gameplay (co-op).

The story of the game takes place in 1986 in Seattle after the decimation of society following the outbreak of a virus that reanimates the dead. Randall Wayne is a survivor of the event and has since been separated from his family of his wife, Shannon, and daughter Lydia. Randall had joined a pack of survivors formed of his friend Ben, an officer named Sam and two sisters, Stella and Karla. Randall is seen killing Karla in the beginning of the game due to her being bitten and infected. When the others return and confront him, "Shadows", the term for...

Directed by Zak Hilditch. With Carmen Ejogo, Theo Rossi, Emma Greenwell, Apollonia Pratt. When a single mother accepts the help of a mysterious woman after her daughter is bitten by a rattlesnake, she finds herself making an unthinkable deal with the devil to repay the stranger. Thrilling and soul crushing, I didn’t cringe at any of the character’s decisions even once, which is rare for a horror/triller. Buy On Amazon!

Directed by Mimi Leder. With Robert Duvall, Téa Leoni, Elijah Wood, Morgan Freeman. A comet is discovered to be on a collision course with Earth. As doomsday nears, the human race prepare for the worst. IMHO, the better movie of the two “astroids heading to earth” movies that were released around the same time, though the other one does have a slightly better soundtrack. Buy On Amazon!

I bought this when I bought my Blue Wii nearly 10 years ago, but kept getting frustrated with the controls and how stupid I felt they were,...
