The Hills Run Red (Trailer)

I'm a sucker for horror movies where the plot is the search for snuff or some dastardly sick horror movie that nobody has ever seen.But after seeing the trailer for The Hills Run Red, we may get another course in this subgenre of horror. There has been a reemergence in vintage, slasher flicks with Laid to Rest being the best of the bunch. But this flick follows the tried and true formula of hiking teenagers, gratuitous nudity, an unkillable masked...

Because their quotes are as good as Arnolds, right?So here are the top 10 villains from the Schwarzenegger movie filmography.Top 10 Villains...

Header (Review)

HeaderHeader (2006)Directed by Archibald FlancranstinWhat is a header?Oh that's the big question that everybody asks and no one wants to give the answer to.And you're not going to get anything out of me in this review.Because if you are going to watch this movie, you need to see it for yourself, through virgin eyes. Because after seeing Header, I can honestly say I felt like I was covered in filth and vomit. And that's actually a good thing.I call...

The Eagle Path (Full Extended Trailer)

A new extended trailer has been released for The Eagle Path, the new character action movie from the muscles from Brussels, Jean Claude Van Damme.We still have no fuckin idea when this is going to get released but I love how the new trailer sums up the plot to obliterate people so that he can rescue a women (who I think is a hooker).He then recruits a bunch of his buddies to help him.Hmm, maybe this is why Jean Claude turned down The Expendables....

Home Sick (Review)

Home Sick Home Sick (2007)Directed by Adam WingardI first heard about Adam Wingard and E.L. Katz when I first viewed Wingard's short Laura Panic. It starred this hot Scarlet Johansson lookalike Hannah Hughes and I was entrenched by the short short too short story.So of course I IMDBed Wingard and saw he'd directed two flicks, this one and Pop Skull.We here at the jaded viewer told you about this flick in July of last year. Well I finally got around...
