Nice send up to the slasher genre
on May 26, 2014
Posted by: FasttommyB
from Virginia
I wish Danielle Harris was in the movie more (just the first and last scenes mainly.) Eric Roberts is his old slippery self and the young actors are all decent for this type of production. The movie could have used a larger budget but you cannot expect much from direct to video horror. Decent gore and an ok storyline. I always enjoy the reality show angle in horror movies (Wrong Turn 2) anyone? Fun for horror fans but probably would not appeal to your everyday movie viewer. Still had enough production value to not be distracting and overall is recommended for a decent price.
My Best Buy number: 566025387
What's great about it: Campy, Fun
What's not so great: Budget

New Take on Zombie Comedy
on May 26, 2014
Posted by: FasttommyB
from Virginia
Nice take on the popular zombie comedy genre going back to Return of the Living Dead and is reminiscent of other takes on the genre. Fun setting and unique for this type of movie I thought. Acting is more than adequate and zombie fans should be content with the gore and effects. I am just happy to see a fun zombie comedy with a budget and some production value.

What's great about it: fun, gore
What's not so great: nothing earth-shattering

Beautiful Digibook and Nice Restoration
on May 26, 2014
Posted by: FasttommyB

Classis slasher has never looked better. This remastered version is sharper than the prior blu-ray release and still maintains some grain/filmic look. Of course the series is headed to blu-ray in one complete package with this version of Halloween so hardcore fans should look there for all of the releases. Cannot recommend enough.

What's great about it: Better than previous releases

This epic release from the landmark fantasy series Game of Thrones includes all 10 episodes of the show's third season, following the ongoing story of the powerful families of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, a land in which the cut-throat political web through which seemingly everyone vies for control includes torture, seduction, and many secrets.

Great Series, Great Books
on April 6, 2014
Posted by: FasttommyB
from Virginia
This is the best show on tv, without a doubt. Stays fairly true to the book series, although there are slight changes and embellishments of certain characters to appeal to the viewers. An example is Robb Stark's wife who is an afterthought in the books is a major character in this season. This series seems to have combined all of the great elements of prior HBO series like Carnivale, Rome and Sopranos into one series. I hope this show is around for the long haul. 5 books written so far and season 3 only gets through half of Book 3. Great replay value for this show and a purchase is really worth every penny.

Where is joe lynch's version
on April 6, 2014
Posted by: FasttommyB
from Virginia
Rumor has it that director joe lynch's vision of this movie was taken from him and butchered into a producer's cut without his approval. Fans had been waiting for his movie for over 2 years so I am just happy it was released at all. It is funny and goes into the Larp world like the movie role models did. Unfortunately we will more than likely never see the director's cut so be happy with what we have. I still recommend the movie. Peter dinklage, Steve zahn, Ryan kwanten, summer glau. Nice!

What's great about it: Funny horror comedy
What's not so great: Producer's cut not director's version

Great book great movie
on April 6, 2014
Posted by: FasttommyB

Pretty accurate adaptation of the classic book. I would have liked to see a rated r version where the excess and debauchery were on full display. However the pg-13 version means the kids in high school actually reading the book can see the movie as well. The movie is shot beautifully and Leo is at his best. Recommended.

What's great about it: Close to the book
What's not so great: Pg-13

Better than Open Water
on July 23, 2013
Posted by: FasttommyB
from Virginia
The Reef is a welcome addition to the animals-attack/shark genre. I preferred it over Open Water. The characters are likeable for the most part and there is some definite tension and build-up before things really start to rock in the second half of the film. It is an Australian flick that features some beautiful land and seascapes. If you are irritated by accents then this might not be for you but there are some great Australian horror/thriller flicks out there. I adore Adrienne Pickering.

What's great about it: Suspense! Tension! Sharks!
What's not so great: Lack of Gore

Bloody-Good B Movie Fun
on July 23, 2013
Posted by: FasttommyB
from Virginia
Smash Cut is very much a throw back to old Herschell Gordon Lewis movies such as Gore Gore Girls. It has a fun premise and some 80's style horror effects and a genuine campiness to it that really delivers. Keep in mind this movie isn't supposed to be revolutionary or ground-breaking; it is however pure fun for any horror fans. Fans of Sasha Grey may want to check this out for her alone but she does a standard acting job for the most part. Michael Berryman and especially David Hess add to the fun. David Hess of American Werewolf in London fame is the real gem in this flick.

Kevin Smith on Blu-ray
on June 6, 2013
Posted by: FasttommyB
from Virginia
This is Kevin Smith's most derided movie, and breaks from his normally crass humor to a pg-13 romantic drama. Its still great and finally available on blu-ray so Smith fans can retire their old dvd. This was back during Ben Affleck's J-Lo period so she has some minor screen time before dying and setting up the premise of the story. I think the acting in the movie is very enjoyable. Carlin, Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck all do a fine job. Affleck, even at his worst, is still highly entertaining. Critcs were far too harsh on this movie. Not every Smith film is going to be Clerks, and thats a good thing.
What's great about it: Kevin Smith

Not Enough Hockey-Related Movies
on June 6, 2013
Posted by: FasttommyB
from Virginia
There are not enough hockey/skating movies out there, The story of an injured ex-hockey player who keeps up the skates again as a professional ice skater. Nice love story. Its a romantic dramedy more so than a rom-com and is purely early 90s fair, but in a good way. I recommend. The transfer is better than prior dvd releases so pick up the blu for dirt cheap.
What's great about it: cheesy but nice
