The Minus Man
Minus a plus Guest Review by Mike Flores It has been some time since we’ve had a really good serial killer movie. The success of the Scream series revived the slasher genre, but serial killer films aren’t roller coaster rides. From … Continue reading

Double Jeopardy
To kill and kill again Well, I’ll go see anything with Ashley Judd, but throw in Tommy Lee Jones and you’ve got a must-see combination. Not that the picture’s any kind of classic, but the juxtaposition of those two faces … Continue reading
The Strange Woman / Moon Over Harlem DVD
Double Ulmer The recently deceased Hedy Lamarr gave one of her best performances in the 1946 melodrama The Strange Woman as a woman who would not seem strange today, but certainly stood out in the 1840 boomtown that was Bangor, … Continue reading

Iron Giant
Adam Link to robots past A major surprise in a summer already crowded with fun flicks is this under-hyped animated wonder. Disney has struck gold in recent years by swiping from classic Japanese anime, so it was inevitable that Warners … Continue reading

The Blair Witch Project
An Instant Classic I’m not trying to come off all macho or anything, but I watch a lot of horror movies, and I’m not scared by them easily. This one did the trick – I went to bed afterwards unnerved … Continue reading

Deep Blue Sea
Deep Doo-Doo A shark movie?! In 1999?! Hollywood wisdom states that if something is worth doing well once, it’s worth doing poorly a thousand times, so Universal bought this story from virgin scripters Duncan Kennedy and Wayne Powers and threw … Continue reading
