He Never Died: There’s Something About Henry
Jack’s been in a rut lately. He sleeps, gets up, watches TV, sleeps some more, eats dinner at the nearby diner, sleeps, plays bingo and Continue Reading

Hellboy: Hell is a PG-13 Rating
Let’s get my biggest pet peeve out of the way: Hellboy isn’t as fast-paced as either I or Netflix remembers. When I first saw Hellboy closer to its 2004 Continue Reading
Pontypool: Unspeakable Words
Small towns. Does anyone really like them, or are they just places to escape from? I grew up in a town of 9,000; it had Continue Reading
The Voices in My Head
Ryan Reynolds scares me. I know he’s Canadian, and in reality I’m sure he’s a pretty nice guy. After seeing him dismember, decapitate and disembowel Continue Reading
Timer: Countdown to Love
It’s always tough for actors when a beloved series ends its run. What do they do afterward? What’s the next project? Should they jump to Continue Reading
Mockingjay Part 2: Hush Little Baby
Let’s do the math. If Mockingjay: Part 1 and Mockingjay Part: 2 were one film, it’d have a running time of 260 minutes, nearly four-and-a-half hours of material. If you’re Continue Reading
Catwoman In Name Only
Catwoman has been in my Netflix queue for a while now, but I knew I wasn’t going to get through it without copious amounts of alcohol. Continue Reading
Enter the Animatrix
When does a series get taken too far? Is it ever possible to pinpoint the exact time a series jumps the shark and goes from brilliant Continue Reading
We Are What We Are: I Like My Horror Films Pretty
A common complaint about American horror remakes of foreign films is how much they get watered down in the process. From The Ring to The Grudge, something about Continue Reading
Nurse: Movies Should Not Be Based on Photography
I’m a big fan of B-movies, as my reviews of gems such as The Human Centipede would attest. But My B-movies have to have some redeeming quality: Continue Reading
Constantine: Hell is LA and other Cliches
Financially successful if creatively flawed, 2005’s Constantine is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it’s chock-full of Hollywood stereotypes and seems like it was developed by Continue Reading
Galaxy Quest: The Spaceballs of Trek Spoofs
Galaxy Quest is the rarest of spoof movies: one that manages to reference the source material and tell a proper story without being nothing more than a Continue Reading
Way Too Late: Year in Review 2015
It’s that time of year again. Time to reflect on the many movies I watched over 2015 for this website. Time to relive the highs Continue Reading
Was Affleck Really the Bomb in Phantoms?
It’s a throwaway line in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, when Ben Affleck (as Holden McNeil) is talking to Jay and Silent Bob about Ben Affleck Continue Reading
Darkman: Sam Raimi’s Own Batman
Necessity is the mother of invention, so the saying goes, which applies to this week’s Way Too Late review: Darkman. Denied the opportunity to direct either Continue Reading
Snowpiercer OR Hunger Games on Ice
With Snowpiercer being at least the fourth Chris Evans vehicle I’ve reviewed for Dorkadia. I’m beginning to think this is more than just a passing fixation. It’s probably Continue Reading
Ant-Man and the Consequences of Development Hell
I have a confession: I’m kind of cheating on NaNoWriMo. Held every November, National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) challenges writers to write the first draft Continue Reading
The Hellraiser Saga
I did this to myself. Only I am to blame. This review started off simply enough. While researching for my review of the original Hellraiser a few Continue Reading
Batman Begins
It’s tough to believe now, but Batman Begins was a tough sell in 2005. After the disaster that was Batman and Robin (which I wrote about in a previous Continue Reading
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
I watched two movies over the weekend that predominantly featured teenagers and was fascinated by how differently the writers approached the characters. In Hellworld, which Continue Reading
The Punisher (Thomas Jane edition)
At least this time he’s wearing the shirt… 2004 was a decent year for comic-book movies, Catwoman excepted. Fans got Hellboy, Blade: Trinity, Spider-Man 2 and The Punisher all in Continue Reading
