1. “Perkins’ 14 (2009)” movie review.

    “Perkins’ 14” is too absurd to take seriously, but too bleak to be entertaining. Yet sometimes- and I stress sometimes- the film strikes gold. But then again, sometimes that gold turns out to be feces…metaphorical feces…there isn’t any actual feces in this movie...so...yeah...

    "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning" is insane. Yeah, I know I've said that about movies before, but I was being liberal with that definition. I had just meant past films were wild and chaotic. "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning" is less the 'wild and chaotic' version of insanity, and more the...'it cuts off its penis and presents it to you as a gift' kind of insane.

    "Dark Skies" isn't a disaster. I almost wish it was, because then I would've at least felt...something about it. This is not a bad movie, but all of its successes tie in too closely with its failures, dragging the feature down into the deep pits of "meh".

    “The Ward” was supposed to be John Carpenters' big comeback, a small horror/thriller that would be a return to his roots. Unfortunately, it was a bittersweet experience as you can see the Carpenter of old occasionally returning, only to be undermined by sloppy writing and questionable direction. “The Ward” isn't bad, but it's not very good either.

    I've seen plenty of bad movies in my time. In fact, I like to describe myself as a cinemasochist. Yet nothing could prepare me for “Ninja's Creed”, a film so insanely bad that the mere thought of its existence sends a shiver down my spine.
  6. “Julia’s Eyes (2010)” movie review.

    This is a difficult feature to review, because part of me wants to praise its ambitions. "Julia's Eyes" wants to be 'more' than just a thriller and indeed, it is a much fuller experience than most of its ilk. It can be tear jerking and heart warming, along with being edgy and frightening. Yet it also sort of collapses under its own weight.
  7. “6 Bullets (2012)” movie review.

    "6 Bullets" pretty much answers the question of: "What if "Taken" starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and had balls?". I'm still trying to decide if "6 Bullets" is an exceptional film, or maybe "Taken" just fooled me into thinking it's better than it was, because most of the comparisons are in favor for this movie.
