Blu-ray Review: The Woman (2011)

Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers) has the goddamned life what with being a successful lawyer and family man and all… but one bad decision could bring all that to a full fuckin’ stop believe you me! What sort of decision would that be I can just hear you lot ask with baited breath? Well, let me tell you; taking home a near-feral woman (Pollyanna McIntosh) that you discovered on a hunting trip and imprisoning her in your cellar in an attempt to make her civilized would definitely fit the bill… and that’s exactly what Chris does. To his credit, he tells his family of his intentions… much to the chagrin of his wife Belle (Angela Bettis)… but his methods to break her will are a tad (read: absolutely fuckin’ off-the-charts) misogynistic and oh-so-very wrong as-all-fuck. As you can imagine “the woman” doesn’t cotton to this for the long term and soon she begins to fight back against her forced “training”… and

Movie Review: Brahms: The Boy II

It’s rare these days to see a sequel outshine its predecessor, but that is the case with director William Brent Bell’s Brahms: The Boy II. The first movie introduces a nanny hired to babysit a doll. She eventually discovers after witnessing what she thinks is a possessed doll that there is a man living within the walls of the manor. The Boy II expands on the doll’s history. It centers on a couple (Katie Holmes and Owain Yeoman) and their young son Jude (Christopher Convery) who move into the guest house on the property of the manor from the first film. Due to the trauma caused by a home invasion, their son has stopped talking. While exploring the property Jude discovers a doll buried in the dirt, the infamous Brahms. Soon Katie Holme’s Liza begins to believe that the doll is not only a bad influence on her son, but that Brams may very well be possessed. I was surprised

Movie Review: Celebrity Crush (2019)

Man, ol’ John Blakely (Oliver Robins of Poltergeist fame… who incidentally directed and wrote this here bad bitch) has it tough as he has to live life being well-known for starring in a stalk n’ slay flick, Chain Face Clown by name, as a terror tyke, being asked to sign things like blu-rays and such, and using his fame to try and use his celeb status to get hot n’ horny with the dames. Well, that last one kinda backfires when Johnny B. does the sexual fuckings with Emily (Alissa Schneider) who turns out to be his greatest fan… and by “greatest” I mean “murderously obsessive“. This equals some really fuckin’ bad news for anyone that attempts to get in the way of the imaginary thing she and J-Dawg have percolatin’, and will make it a tad dicey for our hero to (attempt) escape from the clutches of this lascivious lunatic!

Ryan Gosling May Be The Next ‘Wolfman’

Months following Univeral’s success with The Invisible Man, the studio is moving forward with Wolfman as the next movie in their monster universe. The werewolf film will star Ryan Gosling (Blade Runner 2049), but there is no concrete word if he will play the titular role. According to Variety, Universal has been meeting with several potential directors including Cory Finley (Bad Education). Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo (“Orange Is the New Black”) wrote the script based on the pitch by Gosling. The original Wolfman was released back in 1941 and starred Claude Rains and Lon Chaney Jr. It follows a man as he returns to his homeland and is attacked by a creature of folklore and infected with a horrific disease that transforms him into a wolfman. Universal’s original vision for the monster universe would have included a shared universe filled with the studio’s original monsters that included the Invisible Man, Wolfman, Dracula, along with others.
