One Man’s Trash: Bubba the Redneck Werewolf

Adam Tyner — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 12:00:52 +0000

“He ain’t just some damn, dumb redneck anymore. He’s a… he’s a warrior! A warrior fightin’ for justice and the American way of life.” – “And he eats human corpses!” Before he was Bubba the Redneck Werewolf, he was just plain ol’ Bubba the Redneck. Still stinking of puppy poo from his shift at the...

‘Underworld: Blood Wars’ Review: Stop It

Philip Brown — Fri, 06 Jan 2017 13:00:11 +0000

Hey, remember when everyone was obsessed with those ‘Underworld’ movies? I’ll bet you don’t because that never actually happened. Yet here we are, 14 years later, and there are still sequels being made. ‘Underworld: Blood Wars’ is the latest title in the franchise. It’s not particularly better or worse than any of the previous handfuls...

‘Wolves’ Review: Not Big, But Definitely Bad

Philip Brown — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 18:00:37 +0000

Of all the iconic cinema monsters, werewolves have the fewest classic movies. I always get a little excited when a new werewolf movie comes along because there’s so much more untapped potential than yet another vampire or zombie flick. Unfortunately, ‘Wolves’ is yet another wasted opportunity while we wait endlessly for the next ‘Ginger Snaps’...

Full Metal Jackets: Screw Edward and Jacob, I’m Team Selene

Tom Landy — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:00:25 +0000

Future Shop in Canada has unveiled its next exclusive, and she’s a beauty. Oh, and the SteelBook isn’t too shabby, either. The fourth chapter in the ‘Underworld’ franchise, ‘Underworld: Awakening’, will be released in an exclusive Blu-ray SteelBook on May 8th. The lovely Kate Beckinsale slips into tight leather (or is it pleather?) once again...

One from the Vault: ‘The Howling’

Wayne Rowe — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:00:11 +0000

It’s Halloween and you probably haven’t seen a good werewolf movie in a long while, have you? Prefer werewolves with more bite and less than 28 rippling abs? Sure you do. In that case, it’s time to pop the corn, dim the lights, fire up Netflix and catch ‘The Howling’ in HD. I have three...

‘True Blood’ 3.12 Recap: “Sometimes the Right Thing to Do Is the Wrong Thing”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 19:00:44 +0000

Due to my recent vacation, I’m a little behind in my TV watching and recapping. Upon returning home, one of the first things that Mrs. Z and I did was catch up with ‘True Blood’. Immediately after watching the final episode, she turned to me and said, “This show hasn’t quite gotten the hang of...

‘True Blood’ 3.08 Recap: Vampire Make-Up Sex Also Icky

Josh Zyber — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 19:00:19 +0000

While I was a little bit disappointed in the last episode of ‘True Blood’, the show has returned to my good graces with this week’s episode, called ‘Night on the Sun.’ If nothing else, this one features a distinct lack of Fairies. We’re back to vampires and werewolves doing what they do best, which is...

‘True Blood’ 3.07 Recap: “I’m So Happy I Could Bleed”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:00:18 +0000

‘True Blood’ has really been on a tear this season. The show has considerably amped up its action, gothic melodrama, and gruesome bloody gore. Last week’s episode was a particular standout that cranked out a huge number of major plot developments. In a lot of ways, the same can be said for this week’s ep,...

‘True Blood’ 3.06 Recap: “Killin’ Vampires and Savin’ Your Ass!”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:00:16 +0000

Whoo-whee! This week’s is a really big episode of ‘True Blood’, written by series creator Alan Ball himself. Despite its laconic title, ‘I Got a Right to Sing the Blues’ gets right to the action, crams in a ton of important plot developments, and moves like a shot the whole time. It also reaffirms this...

‘True Blood’ 3.05 Recap: “This Is Sexy Good News”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:00:09 +0000

At its best, ‘True Blood’ provides a kicky mix of pulp melodrama, horror, and black comedy. Some episodes lean more towards one of those aspects than the others. This week’s episode, ‘Trouble’, brings on the funny in a big way. It has a fair amount of overt comedy, especially in the Jason Stackhouse storyline, and...

‘True Blood’ 3.04 Recap: “It’s a Were- Thing, We Run Hot”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:00:22 +0000

To our female readers out there (And yes, I know that we have some – Hi, Junie!), if you aren’t already familiar with it, allow me to introduce you to the concept of “fan service.” The term derives from anime circles, and generally refers to an attempt by show producers to appeal to the base...

Now Playing: ‘Twilight: Eclipse’ Still Ridiculously Boring

Drew Taylor — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 19:00:16 +0000

Most of the reviews of this week’s surefire box office juggernaut ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ are proclaiming that this, the third entry in the chaste vampire saga, is the best of the bunch. I guess it is, in its own way. But that doesn’t excuse anything. At all. The third film still suffers from the...
