"Cloverfield(2008) One of the unwritten laws of the universe is that the monster in a monster movie be played by a man in a rubber suit. Should this not be followed, the world would collapse in on itself. The universe end up in chaos that not even Chuck Norris could roundhouse kick his way out of. Anyone who saw the American remake of the Godzilla can attest to that. Besides classic Universal horror films such as Frankenstein and The Wolfman, the Big G is what people most identify with when you talk about monster movies. Of course, what people forget is that for it’s time, the 1954 Godzilla a fairly serious cautionary tale against nuclear testing. Over time, the character has been most remembered for is wrasslin’ matches with other rubber suited beasties, laying waste to scale models of Tokyo. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. At some point, the focus slowly shifted away from the grim original to kid-friendly smashing stuff. Scale mode ... " [More]

"Crossroads(2002) At the height of her popularity, teen pop-tart Britney Spears decided it would be a good idea to try her hand at acting. The result was the 2001 opus Crossroads, not to be confused with the album by Eric Clapton or the movie starring Ralph "karate kid" Macchio, both of which arguably yielded better results than Mrs. Spears' vanity project. Musicians becoming actors is not unusual. From Frank Sinatra to Mick Jagger to Fergie, the roads of film history are paved with many such accounts. Varied results aside, the urge to break out into another medium is a very human characteristic. The frumpy wish to look fabulous, the poor want to be rich, the rich yearn to be slightly richer. Not wishing to look foolish, most stick to what they do best. Britney, however, has yet to discover what that is. In Crossroads, Britney plays Lucy, a vacuous high school student; The dreaded "girl next door." She holds resentment towards her father, Pete(a puffy Dan Aykroyd)who ... " [More]

"Friday the 13th(2009) Micheal Bay is the kind of director that makes you want to hate movies forever. On his own, he is the man responsible for such cinematic abortions as "Bad Boys" 1 & 2, "Armageddon", "The Rock", "The Island" and his holy grail of crap, "Pearl Harbor." Coming from the world of commercials and music videos, Bay doesn't make movies so much as he makes two and a half hour TV spots. His trademark explosions an indecipherable editing style have helped lower entertainment standards across the board. More recently as a producer, he has seen fit to remake classic fright flicks, turning once revered horror movies into lifeless cash cows. "Friday The 13th" is the latest to be groped by his slimey hand. Released in 1980, the original film takes place at the infamous Crystal Lake, a summer camp with an urban legend past. Year prior, a young camper named Jason Voorhees drowned in the nearby lake as horny teen counselors did what comes naturally(i.e., sex.) The ... " [More]
