Repo Men
The people are normal and there are mundane things in effect, cars are cars, they don’t fly. There is a barbecue, an old typewriter and men wear suits and ties like they do now – in my time. Yet there are stacked advertisements digitally displaying things on the side of high-rises, people getting artificial hearts, livers, kidneys etc. is the norm. One can cybernetically enhance the...

“Terrible things Lawrence, you’ve done terrible things” I am not typically a fan of remakes and new school takes to old school stories, but in cases like The Wolfman you have to keep an open-mind.

Just imagine a man with no legs flying around in the air all from the force of... [Read more]
Hostel (2005)

Hostel in of itself is like a brand new roller coaster that is made to shock newbies to the ride itself. It starts out smoothly, teasing you with occasional loops and deep dips here and there to get you... [Read more]
