Aptly title, Profane is a movie full of contempt and submission. It’s also full of nudity. An interestingly dirty and twisted film, that has been called “extraordinary” by some reviewers, though not by this one.

Fiction – Film Review

“When fiction bleeds into real life, when blood pours from the needle tracks on your arm…” Fiction is a movie about a guy with issues, but not everyone sees those issues until Roman’s life begins to spin out of control.

Birdemic: Shock And Terror – Review

Okay. Um — wow. I’m having trouble on where to begin here. Okay, here we go. Let me catch everyone up who does not keep up with cinema news.

127 Hours – Review

One word. Wow — but since you want to read a review; I’ll write a little more. There’s a lot to say about Danny Boyle’s latest opus, I’ll do the best I can — but I recommend seeing it to do it justice. 127 Hours is the true life survival story of Aron Rolston, a free spirited man exploring the canyons of Utah. A series of events leads him

Going deeper into Uwe Boll psyche brings upon dark and disturbing things, but too far into obscurity that it shies away from the mainstream. This brings us to Seed. Shot in 2007 and not released until 2008, Seed is one of the greatest (if not under appreciated horror films) of all time. But this film is far from anything you’ve ever seen and guarantee nothing quite like this will
