By Pat French I rather enjoyed Mark Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man. It had heart and a decent understanding of Peter Parker as a character. They took some creative liberties with his origin, which I thought I would hate, but it served the story well enough. There were several aspects where […]

The Spring (2000) – Made for TV Suspense film
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The Spring is a 2000 TV movie that I had never heard of. From the back cover it sounded interesting enough, and I purchased it at Movie Stop while in Georgia visiting my husband’s awesome family. Sadly, this film wasn’t that great. Generally, I’ve lucked […]
Zero Charisma (2013) and the Nature of Nerd Culture – MOVIE REVIEW

Graduation Day (1981) – SLASHER HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The 1980s was a very special time for slasher films. I especially enjoy the whodunit slasher flicks and they made them by the dozens during this time. I can’t get enough of this genre and although many of them follow the same formula, it never gets old. […]

Only the Strong (1993) – ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The 1990s was not a great time for film, but there was some decent things going on in the action genre. Many of the entries from the 90’s were still under the influence of the 1980’s brand of action, using many of the elements but making it […]

A Man Apart (2003) – Vin Diesel ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee A good cop, doing his job, loses his wife at the hands of some bad guys and now plans to take them down, one by one. This sound familiar? It should. Ninety percent of all 1980’s action films followed this formula and rightfully so. It’s a great […]
