Dance of the Dead
Who can resist a zombie comedy? A zomedy if you will. In this case the premise is zombies at the prom and that’s all you need to know. It is just as silly, stupid, reliant on stereotypes and hilariously good fun as you are no doubt imagining. Fun times were had by all. I’m giving […]

Fantasia 2009
Oh, it’s the same every year. I always swear I’ll cut down on movies, remembering how many of them sucked last year, remembering the pain of waiting for the pitiful organizers to get their shit together, remembering the discomfort of those broken down seats in that half-assed theatre that is really just an outdated auditorium. […]

Fantasia 2009 – schedule
KC has requested that I recommend a few choices for this year’s Fantasia. There are some movies that look good but don’t fit into my schedule so we will be trying to download what we can’t see. But here are the movies I am planning on viewing: Yatterman: Kitchy Japanese superhero romp. A live action version […]

Yatterman
I don’t think I would actually want to live in Japan, if only because it seems to be a rather more overtly misogynistic society than the relatively respectful Canada I know and love (emphasis on word overt), plus you know, the whole I don’t speak Japanese thing, but damn it sure would be a cool […]

Infestation
Last night I went to a dinner party and my nuna-tube using friend told a story about being on holiday with her boyfriend in the Dominican Republic. They’d set the table out on the balcony and were about to enjoy a romantic dinner when they were ATTACKED BY A GIANT BUG! It was a fist […]

Love Exposure
So yeah. I’m not really sure what to say. I know I want to give this 4 niqueheads. One for each hour. This is an epic story that takes its time getting to where its going but is never slow or dull. It concerns religion, sin, perversion, abuse, exploitation and trickery and is at its […]

Instant Swamp
A woman is on a whimsical, quirky and cute journey of self-discovery. I was prepared to give this a solid 3 niqueheads for being adequately entertaining but then in the last ten minutes Instant Swamp earned a 4th niquehead for being so fantastically over the top and hilarious. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so […]

Mutants
Lame. Cliché. Unoriginal. Uninspired. Ordinary. Every situation was dumb and every character dumber. I disagreed so vehemently with every choice the protagonist made that it wasn’t even fun to be annoyed with her, it was just frustrating and an exercise not only in suspension of disbelief but suspension of tracking down the writers and murderizing […]

Yesterday
Eurk. I don’t even have the energy to review this shit. I guess they just can’t make good zombie movies anymore. I guess after REC there was no longer any point in trying. Bleh. This shit is Canadian and seriously low-budget. But that’s not why it sucks. It sucks because it’s 2009 so there is […]

Tokyo OnlyPic 2008
So you know how Japan is completely effed up and totally awesome? Tokyo OnlyPic is more evidence of this undeniable fact. This movie is essentially a series of shorts mocking and satirising the Olympics but they also take aim at Japanese culture and hilariously, Americans. My only complaint is that a few of the jokes […]
