Mirrors: Mirrors: The best horror movie of the year so far!

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 04:41:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - Mirrors was pretty much doomed for terrible critical reviews from the start. Horror never scores big with film critics; in fact I can’t remember the last horror film that got more positive reviews than negative. If the horror film in...

The Love Guru: Bad karma or bad filmmaking? A contender for worst film of all time!

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 03:28:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - I don’t throw this statement around lightly. As someone who frequently reads reviews, I find that it is thrown around far too often, especially when there are so many bad movies out there. But I can say, without a doubt in my mind, that The Love Guru...

The Happening: What's happening? M. Night Shyamalan made a good film, that's what's happening!

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:47:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - M. Night Shyamalan has had a rocky track record as of late. While The Sixth Sense was a huge hit both financially and critically, his films have slowly been declining in critical praise and box office performance ever since, which was apparent from Lady...

The Incredible Hulk: Is the hulk incredible? Maybe. Is his movie any good? Not really.

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 02:52:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - The Incredible Hulk is poised to be a reboot of the popular comic book character, after the previous attempt at a Hulk movie a few years back bombed at the box office, as well as amongst fans. Marvel has done everything possible to ensure that history...

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay: Harold and Kumar miss the mark second time around!

Sun, 18 May 2008 15:55:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - The first Harold and Kumar wasn't a financial hit on its initial release, but became somewhat of a cult-classic on DVD. Yes, stoner comedies are far too many and often unfunny, but Harold and Kumar succeeded where most failed. The jokes were fresh and...

No matter what perspective you look at it from, Vantage Point is a failure

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:32:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - Vantage Point is a political thriller that looks at an assassination attempt on the US president from 8 different people's point of view. The idea is that by seeing the event from different people's perspectives, the "mystery" surrounding it can be...

In Bruges: Stay out of Bruges!

Sat, 9 Feb 2008 04:25:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - In Bruges is one of those comedies that thinks it is far more witty and clever than it actually is. It’s a shame, because it has an interesting premise with a lot of potential, but ultimately that potential amounts to nothing more than cussing and midget...

The trap in Saw IV is the movie; it makes you want to kill yourself!

Fri, 2 Nov 2007 01:28:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - The Saw movies always feature people stuck in terrible trap in which to survive, they must go through excruciating torture. The latest installment in the series, Saw IV, is one of these traps itself, in which you will either suffer through 95...

Christopher Walken has balls to appear in trash like Balls of Fury

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 14:33:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - If hit-to-the-groin jokes are your cup of tea, then look no further than Balls of Fury, the newest comedy from the minds behind Reno 911. Not only are there punches to the groin, kicks to the groin, and paddles to the groin, there are even...

Pan's Labyrinth is a modern day masterpiece! Best movie of 2006

Mon, 8 Jan 2007 00:23:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - After viewing a double billing of “Thank You for Smoking” and “The Descent” on DVD, I was left generally disappointed, not believing they were deserving of the hype bestowed upon them, and I was left with a negative view towards critically praised/hyped...

It isn't the apocalypse, but "Apocalypto" isn't great either

Tue, 26 Dec 2006 20:14:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - Prior to “Apocalypto”, I had never actually viewed a film directed by Mel Gibson or even starring Mel Gibson (besides the first 20 minutes of “What Women Want”). I really didn’t know what to expect going into this movie. Neither “Braveheart” nor “The...

See No Bad Movies: Start By Skipping This One

Sun, 3 Dec 2006 02:52:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - I’m a fan of the new wave of horror movies that have been coming out for the past few years. These new films have been incredibly graphic and unrelenting, although this isn’t why I enjoy them. I enjoy them because generally they’re horrifying and usually...

A Wannabe Director attempted to make a movie...a year later his footage was found!

Sat, 25 Nov 2006 01:53:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - I was torn between whether I should give “Da Hip Hop Witch” 1 star or 5 stars. On the one hand, it is possibly one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen (besides The Bogus Witch Project, which is tied with this). On the other hand, it’s the...

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan: Borat: It's Nice! I like!

Sat, 4 Nov 2006 03:04:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - I’ve only recently become a fan of “Da Ali G Show”, but it has quickly become one of my favourite shows on television. The show which is the brain child of comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, follows three different fictional characters, all created...

A Horrible Third Entry in a Great Series

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 00:56:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - Edward D. Wood is famous for the horrible movies he made throughout his lifetime. Shortly after his death, he was awarded the title of “The Worst Director” and his last film, “Plan 9 from Outer Space” was named the worst movie ever...

John Carpenter proves he is a master of horror, but not the greatest one!

Thu, 5 Oct 2006 16:37:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - I really don’t know what to say about “Cigarette Burns”. It was one of the “Master of Horror” episodes that looked amazing. The fact that it was directed by John Carpenter, who is probably the most accomplished horror movie director in the “Master of...

Jackass: Number Two: Jackass: Number Two: They're Back and More Disgusting Than Ever

Sun, 1 Oct 2006 00:59:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - “Jackass” is probably one of the lowest forms of entertainment to become so insanely popular. The premise of the hit show was that, a bunch of Jackasses, performed painful and humiliating stunts, as well as silly pranks and skits. Most of the...

Druids: An Amazingly Hilarious Movie...even though it isn't a comedy!

Mon, 4 Sep 2006 01:31:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - Canada has a reputation for churning out bad movies. I’m not some sort of Canada basher, in fact I am Canadian and proud. Still though, the fact is that Canada doesn’t have as big a movie business as the United States and most of the innovative...

I doubted Stuart Gordon was a "Master of Horror", but this movie proves he is.

Tue, 29 Aug 2006 18:02:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - I recently became enthralled with “The Master of Horrors” series, which was a television series where a famous horror movie director directed one of the hour long episodes. After renting “
Incident

Coscarelli proves he's a "Master of Horror" with "Incident on and off a Mountain-Road"

Sun, 13 Aug 2006 20:48:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - The idea behind the television series “Masters of Horror” was to get some of the most well known and renowned horror movie directors and have them each direct their own hour long feature. Mick Garris, who thought the whole thing up, rounded up...

Hostel: At Least It Was Better Than Cabin Fever

Sun, 13 Aug 2006 01:22:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - Hostel always seemed like a pointless gorefest that was probably too extreme for me. I remember the trailer for Hostel creeped and grossed me out more than the movie it preceded in theatres, Saw 2. The whole movie seemed like an excuse to show people...

"Battle Royale": A Great Read, Although Not Without It's Problems

Fri, 11 Aug 2006 18:10:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - A friend of mine who is in to many “Asian” movies brought over a strange movie called “Battle Royale” one day. Supposedly it was the highest grossing movie in Japan and was about a bunch of kids on an island who were forced to kill each other. It didn’t...

Live Shtty! Die Shtty!

Mon, 7 Aug 2006 01:32:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - Warning: This review contains graphic material which some reviewers may not enjoy. However it is necessary to review a movie as graphic and disturbing as Live Freaky! Die Freaky! “Live Freaky, Die Freaky!” is one of the most disgustingly offensive and...

Wed, 19 Jul 2006 14:02:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dylgon - Ever since I saw the trailer for “Little Man”, I desperately wanted to see the movie. It looked absolutely hilarious to me. Unfortunately, it seemed as if most of my family thought the movie looked horribly stupid...which I can understand. Little...
