Repo! Review: Testify! At The Genetic Opera, Tonight!

[ 07:35 ]

If you haven't seen REPO! The Genetic Opera, you REALLY should find the nearest theatrical screening and go! It's coming to DVD on January 20, 2009, after a VERY limited release, but you'll get one heck of an experience in the theatre, since this bad boy may well be the Rocky Horror Picture Show of the 21st Century! If we've reviewed one MUST SEE movie this year, REPO! is it! ~Matt + Nat

X-Files Review: Good. But Does Anyone Care?
It's been 10 years since the last X-Files movie, and more than 5 since it was on TV, but when Mulder and Scully hit the big screen on opening weekend in July 2008, less than one third of the fans from 1998 were there. So does anyone still care? ~Matt+Nat

Quarantine Review: Proper Terror This Season!
In an age where the Saw and Hostel type horror film has given up on scares in favour of gore, Quarantine delivers some genuine suspense and terror! This was definitely worth the price of admission! ~Matt + Nat

Quarantine Preview: Zombie Pov Fun!
It looks like Cloverfield and Diary of the Dead were only the beginning of our Point-of-View horror movies bringing back the glory days of the Blair Witch Project, because now this remake of a 2007 Spanish indie film [REC], is giving us more jostling, cameraman-loving, visceral reality scares. It's hard to say anything bad about any Zombie movie, since the genre runs the gamut from the brilliantly topical to the terribly stupid, and every film has at least one person out there to love it. Having said that, this seems like a cool premise for a movie on its own, so if we can stomach another ride on the cameraman's back, this could be a good one! ~Matt + Nat

Skinwalkers Review: Practical Effects Rock The House
We're both pretty rocked by Skinwalkers, considering some of the lackluster competition in the Werewolf genre as of late, that's not too surprising. But in one of his first times out as director, Jim Isaacs gets a killer performance out of most of his actors, and Stan Winston's creature effects stand up well to the CGI smattering of pixels that the audience is accustomed to these days! ~Matt + Nat

Transformers 2 Review: It was...good? Unexpected.
Michael Bay stunned us. Not only was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen an entertaining enough film to keep Nat’s attention for 150-long minutes, but Matt, (who RAILED against the 2007 film as a classic G1 80’s Transformers fan) actually enjoyed this one, too! The wounds from Bay’s painful re-imagining of the Transformers have healed in the last two years, and a Mute, Camaro Bumblebee doesn’t offend us quite as much as it used to. Maybe that’s what helped make this sequel SUCH an improved experience over the original! ~Matt+Nat

Transformers 2 Preview: Revenge, Anyone?
If you go back to our 2007 review, Matt was on a bit of a tirade about how terrible of an adaptation Michael Bay’s first Transformers film was. Now that all the wounds have healed, Bumblebee is a Camaro, Jazz is dead and Optimus has flames on his trailerless tractor trailer, it’s time to see if this re-imagined Transformerverse has a good story to tell in it. We’ve got three scenes to share with you that give you an idea of what to expect from T2… wait, that acronym is already taken. Either way, we hope you enjoy our take on almost 5 minutes of theatrical footage from the film! ~Matt+Nat

Wolverine Review: Multiple Endings = Multiple Viewings?
To say that Wolverine has multiple endings isn't exactly correct, but it does have multiple post-credit bonus scenes. Much like the post-credit Nick Fury scene in Iron Man, or the Tony Stark scene in Incredible Hulk, X-Men Origins: Wolverine gives you a reason to sit through the credits… and it’s hard to know which one you’ll be getting since Gavin Hood has put at least two different versions out in theatres, that we know of. We’ve seen two different endings, one that’s Deadpool-centric and one that’s Japan-based, but it won't take long to get to the bottom of how many there are, and to see them all! ~Matt + Nat

The Day The Earth Stood Still Preview
Remaking a 50's classic Sci-Fi film is a bit of an uphill battle after War of the Worlds disappointed us in 2005, but with Keanu as a convincing Space Alien, it looks like this one could be both topical and entertaining so far!

Skinwalkers Preview: The Elusive Werewolf Genre
Recently we’ve had Cursed, the Underworlds, and you can kind of count Van Helsing, since there were some pretty amazing digital werewolves there. But none of them really stack up to the classics in the 80’s - American Werewolf in London and the Howling. Skinwalkers gives an interesting modern take on the Werewolf, using the most retro style possible: Man-in-Suit. With Max Evans (Jason Behr) from Roswell and Casey Jones (Elias Koteas) from the original Ninja Turtles film as the leads, and the effects pro from Terminator, Jurassic Park and Interview with a Vampire, Skinwalkers has all the ingredients to be a worthy successor to the Werewolf genre. ~Matt + Nat

Max Payne Review: Pain Indeed.
Marky Mark is 0 for 2 with Max Payne added to the Crappening as another lacklustre film for the poor guy. At least we've got Quantum of Solace as a palate cleanser!
