![]() We Americans are blessedly unfamiliar with the “most violent prisoner in Britain,” a nut called Charles Bronson. I’d of happily gone on that way had Tom Hardy not become an actor whose riveting performances demand that his every great role be viewed. And his feral performance as Charles Bronson…

![]() Semi-funny and too precious for its own good, this comedy of disgrace asks us to warm up to loutish and sociopathic characters because they have their “normal” sides. They show occasional remorse, brush their teeth like normal people, one of them even has a normal family. The movie is like a Br…

![]() Aubrey Fleming (Lohan) is an intelligent girl with the support of her kind and fairly well off parents, Susan (Ormond) and Daniel (McDonough). She had won the young artists award for piano in the past and has been taking lessons from Art (Bell) for quite some time. However, Aubrey decides that pl… |

![]() When it comes to grading Smokin’ Aces, I’m splitting the difference between Spaceghost’s Really Great and BrianSez’s Barely OK. My Good reflects the movie’s stellar cast and glimmering Vegas visuals. That said, it ain’t good in any moral sense. In fact it’s a sociopathic cesspool that not on…

![]() Taylor (Goethals) is a journalist who has managed to get serial killer, Leslie Vernon (Baesel) to agree to a documentary showing his process of killing. With her film crew, Taylor starts interviewing Leslie about what he does. The condition of allowing her access to him is that Taylor is not alou… |

![]() In 2005, showtime aired an original broadcast of 1 hour short films playing to an anthology theme entitled “masters of horror”. The idea feels nearly foolproof: get 13 of the most famous (infamous?) Horror directors from the past few decades, give them a script and a couple million dollars apiece… |

![]() Cry_Wolf is an incredibly underrated thriller that more people should see. Basically, it’s about a group of college kids who create a fake serial killer by the name of “The Wolf”. They tell everyone he’s on campus, and naturally, everyone is startled. But what starts out as a harmless joke, turns…

![]() Ben Kingsly plays a serial killer targeting other serial killers in this bad thriller. Aaron Eckhart plays Thomas Mackleway, the clueless FBI agent who must track down the killer, and finds himself becoming personally involved in the events. To think of anyone actually giving Eckhart a gun, let…

![]() Well mounted, taut thriller with Tom Cruise as the anti-hero and a low key Jamie Foxx as his reluctant accomplice. This sleek movie, directed by the always stylish Michael Mann, never got the attention it deserved. I’d even forgotten about it until BrianSez’s review…

![]() In the Cut deserves more than mere notoriety for a provocative title and Meg Ryan’s erotic performance, though the latter is monumental – No more RomComs for the RomCom Queen. – and vividly memorable. Slow starting, moody, Jane Campion’s movie finally turns fully creepy 30 min in, not a mome…
