The Good While we have seen this story before it is a story worth retelling. The Bad I would have liked to have gotten a commentary track from Shia LaBeouf and Josh Flitter. I didn’t catch The Greatest Game Ever Played in the movie theater, but it was a film I wanted to see. I do remember taking a glance at the box office numbers for this movie and I was surprised that it didn’t fare better in the marketplace....

Audiences across the world fell in love with the swashbuckling Rick O’Connell and brilliant librarian Evelyn in the 1999 action-adventure The Mummy, which marked the start of a movie franchise. Completely different from the 1930s and ’40s Universal horror films (and the Hammer horror films which followed), the Stephen Sommers remake of the 1932 classic creature feature follows the unlikely pair as they battle against the undead Egyptian high priest Imhotep on his crusade to destroy humanity, combating his supernatural powers and terrifying plagues he unleashes upon the land....
On Exactitude in Science, an old Jorge Luis Borges story, described a map of an Empire that became so meticulously real that its cartographers essentially replicated the very Empire they were mapping. Lewis Carroll (of Alice in Wonderland) actually wrote something which precedes this by 50 years, with his 1893 novel Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, in which one character exclaims, “And then came the grandest idea of all! We actually made a map of the country, on the scale of a mile to the mile!...

What is it about flights that make people lose all sense of basic courtesy and decorum? It’s as if traveling at rapid speeds at high altitude triggers that fight or flight (pardon the pun) response, and people suddenly become devoid of any rationale. The serial armrest-hoggers, the bickering couple you’ve conveniently been placed in-between, the loud-talkers, the forever-crying baby (isn’t that what the hold is for, to store screaming infants?), the aisle-blockers who overeagerly occupy the aisle when the plane lands despite the cabin doors remaining closed for another 20-minutes, or the absolute worst, the window-lickers that clap when the pilot lands the plane (do they applaud the postman when they deliver their post, too)?...

The writer-director talks about what will surely be one of the most controversial films of the year I can’t quite put a finger on when I started hearing the buzz about Tom Six’s utterly unique/insane film The Human Centipede (First Sequence), but I would truly never forget about this film after I saw it with my own eyes. The squeamish and the faint of heart will likely want to stay far away from this film, but those who are willing to risk some of the most truly disturbing images you’ll likely ever see on the silver screen… well you’re in for quite a crazy little trip with the film, which will be available on video-on-demand platforms on April 28 before hitting theaters this Friday, April 30....
