DVD Review: Haywire
by Karl Madsen, Editor
Remember the first time you see a movie that’s told in a non-traditional fashion? For many in the movie viewing public, it was the classic Tarantino flick, Pulp Fiction that indoctrinated us to the alternate story telling styles. Now, the Steven Soderbergh thriller, Haywire, uses an unusual style to tell the story of a black ops soldier on the outs with her company.
Haywire follows the last official mission of Mallory Kane (Gina Carano – Blood and Bone) that is meant to be her last mission, ever.

Blu-ray/DVD Review: War Horse
by Karissa Barrows, Editor
Albert Narracott (Irvine) and Joey
When you think “horse movie”, what do you think of? Black Beauty? Seabiscuit? Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron? Typically, I usually think some movie that’s going to make me cry because of shameless horse-killing, the overplayed horse-separated-from-loved-owner-and-later-reunited storyline proven to elicit tears, or some cowboy movie. War Horse, Steven Spielberg’s newest film, uses those first two, mixed with a little Seabiscuit-style “miracle horse” aspect, and a little bit of storytelling I thought slightly reminiscent of Tarantino – and makes for a huge success.
DVD Review: Hellacious Acres: The Case Of John Glass
A hoodied denizen of the new world!

DVD Review: Breaking Wind
by Chris Kane, Reviewer
A mere year after the release of the critically panned Vampires Suck, director Craig Moss (Bad Ass, The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It) weighs in with his direct-to-DVD spoof of the Twilight saga, Breaking Wind. This film struck me as being a celluloid version of that knock-knock joke. You know the one that goes knock-knock (who’s there?) I eat mop (I eat mop who?) HA HA! Yeah, Breaking Wind is a little like that joke: moronic, scatological, and kinda funny!

High School is Hell
by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief
Fifteen years ago, Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered on television and the success of its seven seasons (or twelve if you include Angel) brought supernatural action drama into being, leading inevitably to today’s supernatural shows ranging from The Vampire Diaries, through Supernatural and Being Human, and into the occasionally-clothed and always sexy True Blood. But Buffy had a few things going for it that the others did not. Notably here are its clever and ubiquitous self-referential humor and perhaps most importantly here is that Buffy possessed something that most other supernatural shows never had. It was in the beginning set in one of the most frightening places on earth: High School.

DVD Review: The Woman
(L – R) Peggy (Carter), Darlin (Molhusen), Belle (Bettis), Chris (Bridges), and Brian (Ran)
by Karl Madsen, Horror Editor
I usually start a review with a clever; at least I think they’re clever, introduction. Once in a while a movie comes along that defies clever, defies having the dark edge lightened, and for one reason or another defy definition. One of these movies is The Woman.
Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers – Deadwood) is a successful small town lawyer with a wonderful family and an idyllic country home. His wife Belle (Angela Bettis – Scar), daughter Peggy (Lauren Ashley Carter – The Prodigies), son Brian (Zach Ran- film debut), and youngest daughter Darlin’ (Shyla Molhusen – film debut) are all very supportive of Brian and his interests.
