1. “Battle of the Damned (2013)” movie review.

    "Battle of the Damned" didn't jump over any sharks, it jumped ON the shark and rode it all the way to zombie land and it was AWESOME. What's more unusual than putting Dolph Lundgren in a zombie scenario? How about throwing robots into the mix for absolutely no reason? That just...transcends quality and automatically makes "Battle of the Damned" the best movie of all time.

    Now we have “Force of Execution”, a bad step in the right direction…Erm, that doesn’t make a lot of sense, but to be fair, nor does the title. Nor does the plot. Yet at least everyone- from the actors to the director to the writer(s)- seemed to be trying to make an enjoyable flick. They didn't really accomplish their mission, but they didn't fail miserably either.

    "Devil's Pass" isn't a terrible rip-off of "The Blair Witch Project", but it made me realize that the Dyatlov Pass Incident was only scary because we don't know what really happened. If you fill in the holes, whether it's a natural or paranormal explanation, you destroy what makes it so frightening.

    "Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear", might have a snicker inducing, pretentious title and it might not have the meatiest of plots, but it's wonderfully paced and the action scenes are PHENOMENAL. It improves on the strengths of "Ninja", while making a point to correct its weaknesses.

    “V/H/S/2” mastered the formula of its predecessor, being incredibly well paced- a rarity for any anthology- and improved the quality of each individual short, while making sure the tone was consistent. It also helps that the film is pretty scary.

    “Man of Tai Chi” is not a great film, as the story is pretty convoluted, but it is a great martial arts flick. Besides boasting some AWESOME fight scenes, it also finds interesting ways to work around the stale clichés which usually plague this kind of story.
  7. “The Purge (2013)” movie review.

    I shall bestow “The Purge” a kiss upon its forehead for actually trying to make a home invasion thriller something MORE than just your average home invasion thriller. The central idea of crime being legal for a day would’ve been cooler in a flick that wasn’t trapped within the confines of this subgenre, but it also made "The Purge" stand out more than the majority of them…
