Review: After spending a good chunk of the day traveling to and from Oshkosh so our daughter could take the ACT, my wife and I were too tired to do much else yesterday evening and found a movie to watch. It had been quite a few years since we last saw The Boondock Saints , so we ended up choosing that one. It was a good decision. Since it had been so long since we last saw the film, I didn't remember a whole lot about it other than there was quite a bit of viole...

The event, however, has sinister intentions and as tensions rise, turns violent. The film is also known as Love Hurts .  Who's in it? The movie stars Sean Sprawling , Simon Phillips ,  Sarah J. Butler , Natalie Burn and Sean Patrick Flanery Review: My wife and I opted not to go out last night and instead celebrated the end of the work week with pizza and a movie. This one looked intriguing, so I decided to give it a try. After watching it, I guess the best way to describe it is I didn't hate it, but it seemed to lack something too. To be honest, from the description and the opening scenes, I thought this would be a slasher movie/murder mystery. Instead, it ended up being more of a psychological thriller with an unusual host (Sprawling), his butler (Phillips) clearly trying to agitate their six g...

However, as the interview progresses, the atheist psychiatrist isn't so sure the demon isn't real. Even more unnerving is Nefarious claims Martin will be responsible for three murders by the time he leaves the prison. Who's in it? The movie stars Sean Patrick Flanery , Jordan Belfi and Tom Ohmer . Review: I came across this and another film on Amazon Prime that looked interesting and wound up picking this one last night. I wasn't sure what to expect from the movie, so I started watching it with no expectations. By the time it was done, I could hones...

Who's in it? The movie stars Sean Patrick Flanery , Victoria Pratt , George Cheung , Drew Waters and Nate Rubin . Review: When I first came across this movie on VUDU, I couldn't help but think it was nothing more than a bad ripoff of the film Tremors . But, my wife and I were having a hard time finding something that looked better and, wanting to watch a movie (any movie) before it got too late, we ended up picking this one anyway. As it turns out, it was actually better than I was expecting. Yes, as I suspected, the movie really does seem an awful lot like Tremors. In fact, the Mongolian Death Worms even look a lot like the worms in that film. But, the movie still manages to be different enough to feel at least somewhat unique. I think the thing I fo...
