Quarantine 2: Terminal (2011) Better Than It Should Be 2 May 2013 | 03:54 am
By all rights, I shouldn't have enjoyed Quarantine 2: Terminal. It's a sequel to a remake that was virtually shot-for-shot like the original. While I thought Quarantine was OK - it starred the phen...
The Devil Inside (2012) How Not To End A Film 5 Apr 2013 | 05:37 am
I was warned. People told me not to see last year's The Devil Inside. "You'll be mad," they said. "You'll hate the ending," they cautioned. Did I listen? Nope. I was reckless. I laughed in the ...
Sinister (2012) Films In The Attic 4 Mar 2013 | 09:05 am
You know that idiom about curiosity and what it does to cats? Yeah, well, if you ever happen to stumble across an old box of Super 8 film reels in your attic, it's probably best that you smile polite...
Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) Might As Well Finish It Out 4 Feb 2013 | 04:53 am

You see Santa Claus everywhere this time of year. The old guy's fixture in malls, town squares, television shows...hey, I've even played the joyful old elf. The modern version tends to be a gentle s...
Lovely Molly (2011) Not-So-Happy Homecoming 3 Dec 2012 | 05:22 am
A few years ago, I went back to the house in which I grew up. It had literally been 20 years since I set foot in there, and the people who live there now were kind enough to let me come in and take s...
Chernobyl Diaries (2012) Needed More Radioactivity 11 Nov 2012 | 12:29 pm
Because of my fascination with abandoned places - thanks to an excursion I once made to an abandoned mental health facility in Detroit during the 80's - I have had a particular interest in the former ...
Grave Encounters 2 (2012) Going Off The Rails 21 Oct 2012 | 11:56 pm
When I saw the original Grave Encounters, I had low expectations. I hoped I would like it, but I wasn't going to be shocked if I didn't. Turns out I did like it. It both paid homage to and made fun...
The Loved Ones (2009) Proms Sure Have Changed 1 Oct 2012 | 06:32 am
I remember prom. It was senior year, 1985, northern Michigan. I wore a white tux and went with a friend of mine out to dinner, some nice dancing, and that was pretty much it. Nothing spectacular and n...
