Christopher Nolan has crafted a finely-tuned trilogy that made audiences take a crime fighter who dresses up as a bat seriously. I was so mesmerized by his work on The Dark Knight that I was open to Nolan’s take on …

Tucker & Dale VS Evil (2010)

Slasher films depict a world where young people are easy targets for killers. Be they masked knife-wielders or supernatural forces, nobody under the age of 30 is safe. Any young person who saw enough of these movies would be terrified …

The Adventures of Tintin (2011)

I’m very angry at Steven Spielberg right now after watching The Adventures of Tintin. No, I’m not displeased with his direction nor his decision to use motion-capture CGI. All of that is top-notch. What really has me steamed is that …

The Rock-afire Explosion (2008)

Red State (2011)

Batman: Year One (2011)
