“Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)” movie review.

But as a whole, I found "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" to be incredibly entertaining. Its deadpan sense of humor was side splitting, making me laugh more than most of those “Scary Movie” films combined. Yet it could also be intense and exciting.

“The Shaolin Temple (1982)” movie review.

But I thought the movie itself was fantastic. It's beautifully directed, surprisingly well written and the bulk of the running time is dedicated to showing off the superb kung fu of the Shaolin Monks. It remains one of Jet Li's finest films.

“Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)” movie review

I saw “Curse of the Golden Flower” when it was first released throughout the U.S in 2006. Like all big boned dramas that maybe had one or two big fight scenes, it was marketed as an epic martial arts feature. I left the theater acknowledging it as a good movie, but I wish it had more fist fights and sword battles. Now that I've gotten over the bad advertising, I can watch “Curse of the Golden Flower” without any petty hangups. I can watch it as a tragedy, filled with color, intrigue, drama and even some epic combat. As such, I thought it was SUPERB!

"The Cabin in the Woods" seemed like a doomed project, considering it was made in 2009, looked like it belonged in the 1990's and wasn't released until 2012. The trailers felt spoilery and overly clever. Joss Whedon might be a hero of television, but his work on the big screen never impressed me that much. Yet the positive reviews managed to win my interest over and I left the theater feeling completely satisfied. Ambitious, creative, funny, intense, clever...it's the type of genre piece that anyone will like. But it's also the type of genre piece that horror fans such as myself will love.
