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…

SciFridays: “Grave Encounters” (2011)

Baddie – Reality television. Ooooooooh. Lesson – Film crews always get the short stick. Always. I’ll be the first one to admit that the movies I pick for this blog tend to be ‘creature’ flicks. Okay, almost always. The closest I’ve gotten to a haunt is American Horror Story. So here we go, a ghost story. So…

SciFridays: “Demonic” (2005)

Baddie – Apathy Lesson – I don’t know. This movie is better than Ambien. Sorry I’m late. I’m on vacation, sortof. One of the perks of this job is, since I don’t get paid, I write reviews whenever I WANT, son. And by that I mean promptly for Fridays unless I get distracted.  This movie…

SciFridays: “Hansel & Gretel” (2013)

Baddie – Asylum Studios. Lesson – Revenge is a dish best served with poetic justice. Here are some things I don’t do well with. Torture films, and people being cooked alive. GUESS WHAT THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT. So, right off the bat we have a bakery serving ‘meat pies’, a la Sweeney Todd. And some straight…

SciFridays: “Shark Week” (2012)

Baddie – Production. Lesson – Spending some time planning your movie is probably a good decision. Okay, so I’m on a shark kick. I like sharks. And look at the shark on this cover. It’s insane. It has like, a detachable jaw. And it’s called ‘Shark Week’ because they don’t give a damn if it’s…

SciFridays: “Bait” (2011)

Baddie – Circumstance. Lesson – Try not to get trapped in a grocery store with a shark. When we were in college, James and I made a lot of jokes about weird monster hybrids. One of these was ‘Sharkgurt: Lactose isn’t the only dangerous thing in the dairy isle’. So you can imagine my delight…
