"You watched them all over again?" a number of friends asked this week. "Yes, I did" I would say sadly. "Why?" The idea of being a completest means nothing in this world. With so much stuff to absorb, being able to say "I did it all," rings like a broken bell in an...
I have been of two minds when it comes to trailer compilations. On one hand, it's always nice to have a curated collection of trailers to play in the background at a party, but on the other hand it's difficult for me to justify paying 30+ dollars on a bunch of...
You may have been browsing through Netflix recently and seen a new thriller called The Watcher. Sure, the poster looks interesting, with a woman’s face in a bird’s silhouette, but do not be fooled! The superior The Watcher came out sixteen years ago! And have you seen...
Okay, let’s move on from all the hate and start getting into the good stuff. We’re not quite at “the best of”, but almost, I promise. First though, I have to have some You Gotta Love Them movies, movies that weren’t amazing but weren’t bad either. Some people might...

RESIDENT EVIL: AFTER LIFE is an empty endeavor in search of a purpose. Alice wanders the world looking for something, anything to give her a reason to keep moving, and all she finds are computer generated backdrops. It’s an unsubtle metaphor for the whole franchise....
2016 was a terrible year and I don't think anyone will argue against that, do I need to remind you of all the terrible things that happened in the last 12 months? Well I don't want to, read it somewhere else I'm not your mother. 2016 was NOT a terrible year for movies...
Is RESIDENT EVIL the most nihilistic big budget film franchise out there? Every single entry is hard reboot on the series. No matter what Alice (Milla Jovovich) does it all goes to shit by the time the next one starts. There are no happy endings in RESIDENT EVIL. Yet,...
By Chloë Brett As we move forward into yet another year, it’s time to take a (very belated) look back at 2016 and all the films that came with it. Of the over 200 2016 releases I saw, I’ve narrowed it down to about 40 that I deem worthy of discussion. Though there are...
