JCVD A.K.A The Muscles From Brussels

“Pop quiz hotshot”, What is the best thing to come out of Belgium? Trappist ale is good guess, but the answer is clearly action all-star Jean-Claud Van Damme. Mr. Damme has starred in over thirty films and can literally perform disgusting, mind boggling splits. The only problem is that he has never overcome one major [...]

Popcorn
I rolled with the punches when gas prices topped four dollars a gallon this summer and vowed to drive less. I even contemplated the idea of purchasing less beer when a hop shortage ravaged the cost of suds. But, I refuse to pay anymore for movie theater popcorn! This USA Today piece from a few [...]

So why should a movie adaptation of a F. Scott Fitzgerald Jazz Age short be any different? Well despite seemingly lighter hearted source material, I [...]

. This being an Indie film blog I thought it only appropriate to at least mention Indy Jones’ new flick; something about a crystal skull. Well while every other media outlet in existence is covering this film’s release today, I thought I would have to approach it from a different angle. Now this would be [...]

Dawn of Dead, 3D

There is a horror movie epidemic as of late. One so devastating, so apocalyptic, as to saturate the market with boring, cliched, an unoriginal movies that make zombies out of audience members the world over. That is unless we are talking about classic horror films revitalized in 3D!!! That is just cool. Today, the Hollywood [...]

Where in the World is Sci-Fi Architecture?

This architectural wonder, or disaster if you will, is a 1963 Charles Deaton design titled “The Sculptured House” which sits high above I-70 on Genesse Mountain as you ascend into the Rockies just beyond Denver. As I live in this marvelous area, I have always made it a point to look out my window and [...]
