SciFridays: “Hypothermia” (2010)

Baddie – Poorly executed monsters. Lesson – Do. Not. Mess. With. Your. Mom. At first blush, this is kind of a pretty movie. It starts with some nice credits, time lapse shots, beautiful scenery and really wide angle shots. All things considered, the movie itself is fairly well shot. Now, that being said, this movie…

Single Malt Movies: Very Bad Things

I was planning on reviewing The Hangover Part III (2013) this week, but as it turns out, it looks like a very bad movie.  I should’ve seen that coming.  The Hangover (2009) was actually pretty good, and The Hangover Part II (2011) was the exact same movie (but worse).  So instead of reviewing a very bad movie,…

Second Breakfast: Mindless Action Sundays

Okay, almost always. The closest I’ve gotten to a haunt is American Horror Story. So here we go, a ghost story. So…

Second Breakfast Special: It’s Arrested Development

And now the story of a band of college-age film critics without an audience, and the one college-age film critic who had no choice but to give them one, however limited. It’s Rooster Illusion. Arrested Development, Season 4 (2013) In 2003, America was finally introduced to a sit-com about a wealthy dysfunctional white American family,…
