    "Puppet Master: Axis of Evil" feels like the filmmakers (Band and DeCoteau) are giving a sincere apology to the fans in the form of a superior movie, while preparing a proper burial for the series as a whole...sort of. It's still pretty bad, but it's only bad in a typical 'direct-to-DVD' flick kind of way. The important thing is they tried.
  2. “14 Blades (2010)” movie review.

    "14 Blades" boasts an awesome Donnie Yen, a lively visual style and entertaining action sequences, but it's really awkwardly paced thanks to the bloated narrative. Too much wasted screen-time is dedicated to stuff that doesn't really matter.

    "Attack of the Vegan Zombies" is as strange as it sounds. It never ceases in delivering daft ideas and is surprisingly well made, despite the low budget. It's just a shame that the flick sabotages itself by trying too hard to be funny, when it was only funny when it was trying to be serious.

    “The Reef” coasts off the formula designed by “Jaws” and “Open Water”, never doing ANYTHING new or unique itself. Yet the problem is that even though it’s a storm of shark movie clichés, it actually executes the formula fairly well. Even if the majority of its scare tactics were invented by Steven Spielberg 40 years ago, at least the filmmakers of “The Reef” applied them effectively.
  5. “I Spit on Your Grave 2 (2013)” movie review.

    “I Spit on Your Grave 2” might take place in a different country and might have made a few changes to the formula, but once again, it’s just a lot of raping and a lot of torturing. Eventually you’re doomed to become desensitized to the brutality and when that happens, the movie just becomes sort of boring…and I got used to it during the first 30 minutes…
  6. “Rubber (2010)” movie review.

    What? You say “Rubber” is a movie about a killer tire? I’m sold. A killer tire who causes heads to explode using psychic powers? Name your price and I shall pay it! Those who follow my reviews should know that I am a sucker for bizarre premises. Unfortunately, “Rubber” might be well made, but it thinks it's better than it really is and I’m just not a big fan of arthouse horror.
  7. “Tucker & Dale vs Evil” movie review.

    "Tucker and Dale Vs Evil" is surprisingly intelligent, using its unique concept masterfully. But instead of being a stuffy critic-catering piece, it opts to be entertainment incarnate...usually. Because while it's definitely good, it's also a lesson that one should not bite off what they can't chew...unless you're willing to spit it out and cut out a smaller portion...but I don't see how that fits this metaphor. Plus, that's pretty f@cking disgusting. Awful table manners...just awful...
