7447840.bin

So, 2012 has brought us a few lackluster or unsurprising events: the same President, the last trinumeral date of the century, an almost apocalypse, and … drum roll … Silent Hill: Revelation. And out of all of the money-wasting atrocities that could have been perpetrated upon on the public, the question is, “Why, oh why, …

220px-The_Mist_poster

Recently I was attacked by the realization that I have not seen a good monster horror flick in a while.  So I popped The Mist into my DVD player to remedy this.  That is The Mist, not to be confused with The Fog, which would be a horrible and grievous error.  Yuck. Anyway, The Mist …

Ready for a Freakout?: An SML Review of “The Fourth Kind”

220px-The_Fourth_Kind

While I was pondering what would be a good first line for this review, something to really grab your attention, it dawned on me that all I really need to ask is “Do you want to be freaked out?”  I mean legitimately freaked out, like possibly verging on actually scared.  Well, if you have the …

Need a Bigger Grossout?: Try “The Human Centipede II”

human_centipede_2_poster_a_p

If a sequel is supposed to up the ante of the first movie in order to help build a franchise, then The Human Centipede II does just that.  But not in the normal terms that you would think. We’re not talking bigger budget and better actors here. There’s no eye popping CGI sequences or sexy …
