Director and Writer: Paul Thomas Anderson. Staring: Daniel Day Lewis, Paul Dano, Dillon Freasier, Kevin J. O'Connor, Ciarán Hinds and Russell Harvard. Running time: 158 minutes. "I don't want to talk about those things. I see the worst in people. I don't need to look past seeing them to get all I need. I've built my hatreds up over the years, little by little, Henry... to have you here gives me a second breath. I can't keep doing this on my own with these... people." - TWBB's protagonist, Daniel Plainview. I remember when I first saw There Will Be Blood. It was about a month after the film came out on DVD in 2008 and my mother and I, on

Director: John Moore. Writer: Skip Woods. Staring: Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, Sebastian Koch, Radivoje Bukvić, Yuliya Snigier and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Running Time: 97 minutes. Rated: R for Violence and Language. Ugh. I’m not a person to get bored easily. I can be easily amused by even the pettiest of entertainment from time to time. But when a film has car crashes, helicopter fights, swear words, big firefights and other such things and I’m bored shitless, there’s something horribly wrong in the world. Such is the case with A Good Day to Die Hard or Die Hard 5, which ever strikes your fancy. I’ve only

Directors and writers: The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer. Staring: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Ben Wishaw, James D’Arcy, Zhou Xun, Keith David, David Gyasi, Susan Sarandon and Hugh Grant. Running Time: 172 minutes. Rated R for Violence, Language, Sexuality/Nudity and some Drug Use. Note: Before you begin, I’d like to note that writing about this film was a bit of a nightmare for myself. Hopefully, I hope to those that read enjoy. It’s weird how things turn out and what people react to certain artworks. One man’s masterpiece is another man’s garbage. Another&rsquo

Director: Park Chan Wook. Writer: Wentworth Miller. Staring: Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode, Nicole Kidman, Dermot Mulroney, Phyllis Somerville, Jacki Weaver, Lucas Till, Alden Ehrenreich and Ralph Brown. Running Time: 99 minutes. Rating: Rated R for Disturbing Violent and Sexual Content. There are movies out there that almost feel like we should embrace a darker side to ourselves. Movies that cause whatever malicious feelings we have for our fellow man to come rising right up, as we smile with devilish glee over man’s inhumanity to man. Usually, horror films do this, as we see their usually idiotic protagonists sent to their doom i

Director: JJ Abrams. Writers: Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Greenwood, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller. Running Time: 132 minutes. Rated: PG-13 for Intense Sequences of Sci-Fi Action and Violence. There's something I really enjoy about JJ Abrams style of filmmaking. Yes, its flashy and fast and it may come off as a bit shallow, but there's something about it that gives off a spark that really gets me engaged. He can get establish a lot within the first 15 to 30 minutes of a movie, which would take m

Publisher/Developer: 2K Games/Starbreeze Studios Platforms: Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Release date: June 25th, 2007. If there was ever a game that made me truly love storytelling in video games, it would be The Darkness. Based on the Top Cow comic of the same name, The Darkness was an game that went beyond what most video games do. It was the first game that grabbed me by the throat with its opening car chase and didn’t let me go until the last frame. Hell, this and the original Bioshock came out in the same year and I still consider The Darkness to one up that beautiful work. While it still has flaws and some aspects of the game h

If you were to ask me what the series is like, I’ll put it like this: What would you get if you threw Sailor Moon, HP Lovecraft and Faust into a blender, set it to frappe’ and then have Terry Gilliam and Salvador Dali do the monster designs and adding a few finishing touches here and there? Well, there’s a pretty good chance you would get the 2011 Anime by Gen Urobuchi and Studio SHAFT, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, a particularly savage examination of the famous Magical Girl genre that is one of the most prominent in genres in Anime. Some have called the Evangelion of the Magical Girl genre and I believe them because the sho

Developer/Publisher: Rockstar Games. For Xbox 360, PS3 (May 15th, 2012) and PC ( June 1st). Version I played: 360. (suggested thing do while reading the review: Take a drink every time I say Max). Back in 2009, when Bioware was still loved by the public, everyone was looking forward to James Cameron's Avatar and I didn't have internet access for a while, the folks at Rockstar announced that a new Max Payne was in the wings. Except it's set in Sao Paulo and not in New York. And Max is older. And has a beard and bald head. And he's not being voiced by his original voice actor. And it wasn't being developed by Remedy (they were busy with Al

Red Riding Hood. Director: Catherine Hardwicke. Writer: David Leslie Johnson. Staring: Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Billy Burke, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons, Virginia Madsen and Julie Christie. Running time:100 minutes. Rating: PG-13. I love horror films. Don't you? Of course you do. You'd think that with taking the concept of turning the story Red Riding Hood into a Werewolf mystery with a gothic twist would be match made in heaven, right? WRONG. Out of all of the films to come out this year, this is by far the most insulting and wretched thing to come out in a while. I can't think of a film that insulted me as much as Transformers 2
