Movie Review – Jurassic Park (1993)

Title: Jurassic Park (1993) Runtime: 127 minutes Director: Steven Spielberg — What better way to kick-off the summer blockbuster movie season than by watching one of the best of its kind, Jurassic Park? How about watching it, for the first time, in 3D? Yeah, that will do it. It has been more than a handful of years…


Movie Review – I Am Legend (2007)

Title: I Am Legend (2007) Runtime: 101 minutes Director: Francis Lawrence — Having watched all three of the Richard Matheson “I Am Legend” adaptations, I am confident in saying that I Am Legend is – by far – the best of the lot. Will Smith is incredible in this film, and the direction is spot…


Movie Review – Doom (2005)

Title: Doom (2005) Runtime: 100 minutes Director: Andrzej Bartkowiak — This is a great example of a film that receives a lot of unearned hate. Doom is a fun action flick that delivers said action in folds. It almost feels like a movie that would’ve come out in the early 1980s as a response to Alien,…


Movie Review – Alien 3 (1992)

Title: Alien 3 (1992) Runtime: 145 minutes Director: David Fincher — I always hear nothing but hate for Fincher’s take on the Alien universe, and though the movie is far from perfect, I still don’t think that the hate is justified. The film’s strongest point is its practical effects. The blood and gore look great,…


Movie Review – Fright Night (2011)

Title: Fright Night (2011) Runtime: 106 minutes Director: Craig Gillepsie — I’ve heard a lot of negatives about this remake before I watched it, but still had to check it out because we recently picked up a (kick ass) 3D TV. Having never seen the original, I didn’t really know what to expect, but hoped…


Movie Review – Alien Origin (2012)

Title: Alien Origin (2012) Runtime: 88 minutes Director: Mark Atkins — The Asylum has the potential to surprise every so often (Paranormal Entity is a better film than Paranormal Activity; there, it’s been said), which is why I get excited whenever a new film of theirs comes out (which is practically weekly at this point)….


Movie Review – Area 407 (2012)

Title: Area 407 (2012) Runtime: 90 minutes Directors: Dale Fabrigar and Everette Wallin — For a made-for-tv horror film, I really expected this to be worse than it was. That said, this is not a good movie. Unfortunately, the incredibly cool premise – a group of people survive a plane crash, but, unbeknownst to them,…
