33: ‘RoboCop’ Starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson

Posted: February 20, 2014 at 12:01 pm   /   Film, Local, Reel Spoilers

It was Valentine’s Day Weekend and love was in the air. So, of course, this week on the show we tackle Robocop. Well, ok, nobody “tackles” Robocop. Although…ED-209? No, they don’t really “tackle” things. They just shoot them. So, um, anyway…this week’s podcast is about Robocop. Did it recapture the dark-comedy heights of the original? […]

Movie Review: ‘RoboCop’ Starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, and Samuel Jackson

Posted: February 12, 2014 at 12:19 pm   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

In 1987, RoboCop blew moviegoers away (no pun intended) with its blend of over the top violence, revolutionary special effects, and biting social commentary (it was the 80’s after all), all wrapped into a perfect storm of an 80’s action movie. To me, the original source material was so unique and timeless that it never needed […]

Eva Green Wants To Join Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows”

Posted: February 3, 2011 at 8:23 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

I am usually a huge fan of Tim Burton but lately not so much.  I really didn’t care for Alice in Wonderland in any way and have no intention of wanting to re-watch it anytime soon.  Add to that, he is currently filming Frankenweenie which I think is a great short film, but I can’t […]

Roger Qbert Reviews “A Nightmare on Elm Street” Remake

Posted: April 30, 2010 at 8:24 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve never actually seen any of the original Nightmare on Elm Street films. I’ve never been much of a horror fan and I typically prefer moody (The Blair Witch Project) to hack-n-slash (Friday the 13th). But even if you’ve never seen any of the originals, you know the drill: […]

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Posted: April 30, 2010 at 1:03 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews

The remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street isn’t particularly scary or tense, definitely not original, and almost completely absent of character depth and plot; but it looks pretty good, doesn’t dilly dally , and gets a fun (outside a couple of eye rolling one liners) turn by Jackie Earl Haley as Krueger. The film […]

New “Nightmare on Elm Street” Remake HD Trailer

Posted: April 9, 2010 at 2:10 pm   /   Local, Movie Trailers

Another trailer was released to play before Clash of the Titans last week. This time we get a little bit more background on the kids, and less on Freddy himself.  So far all the trailers look pretty good for this, but they still haven’t sold me. The original film is probably one of the best […]

New “Nightmare on Elm Street” Remake Trailer

Posted: February 25, 2010 at 11:02 am   /   Film, Local

So far both trailers have been great, although to be honest most Michael Bay productions do. (Does anyone remember that The Island had an awesome trailer as well?) The look and feel of the film is far and above better looking that most of the horror films that are coming out lately. All I’m hoping […]
