Movie Review: Jurassic World (2015)

There are a small handful of movie moments indelibly etched into my brain, and none are more magical than the first time we saw a glimpse of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. It was a scene that solidified my love for cinema, confirming that anything was possible inside the walls of a movie theater. Jurassic

Acid Burn: Painfully Revisiting Alien Resurrection

Last year I gave my opinion on Alien 3, and when I finished writing that piece I decided I wanted to follow it up with a look at Alien Resurrection when I had the motivation to do so. This week I felt the time was right, so with a heavy heart I sat down to

Toy adverts, movie promos, magazine articles, random clippings – I’ve collected them all over the last 35+ years and now it’s time to pull them out of the darkness and get them digitally immortalized online, so future generations can study them, ponder them and hopefully shout “COOL” every now and then.

Why Doesn’t Open Water Get the Respect it Deserves?

I just rewatched Open Water, and felt like talking about how great and underappreciated I think it is. How anyone can watch this movie and not find it to be wholly terrifying is beyond me, yet it holds a sad 32% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (despite having a much more respectable 72% on the
