Movies
A film that is very aware of its strong points and exploits it to the point of pure mastery. It's rude, lacks subtlety, lacks any kind of serious attempt to tell a story, but remains funny throughout
Rampage is a pretty relentless film, but considering its concept and themes the execution is pretty spot on. No politically correct endings, no censorship, no concessions.
The Profane Exhibit
An anthology that traveled festivals for a full decade and was tinkered with profoundly before it finally saw its domestic release a little while ago. It's not hard to see why this one took so long to materialize in full, but there are some very cool segments here, and true horror heads won't be disappointed. Boll's entry is a terrible low, but other than that most shorts are pretty interesting. What this anthology is lacking is some true standouts. Apart from Manna, by far the most visceral and mysterious short of the bunch, and to a lesser extent Nishimura's Hell Kitchen, there aren't any shorts that push the limits. But if you love a good horror anthology, be sure to give this one a shot.Read all
I've never seen the first two films in the franchise, but since it's an Uwe Boll project I figured it wouldn't matter that much. I was right. In the Name of the King 3 is a simple action film with a rather ridiculous premise, executed with a minimum of talent, but with a nose for entertainment and fun. Dominique Purcell has to carry the film, but he's a pretty dire action hero. His performance is by far the worst part of In the Name of the King 3. The CG is also pretty crummy and the uninspired direction isn't great either, but at least there's some genre fun to be had. Far from a great film, but not quite as bad as some make it out to be.Read all
