During the intermission of the Ultraman Double Bill at the Royal Cinema this weekend, I noticed that there was a handful of kids hanging around in the lobby with their parents. All of the kids had giant grins on their faces and a few of them actually had Ultraman...
"You watched them all over again?" a number of friends asked this week. "Yes, I did" I would say sadly. "Why?" The idea of being a completest means nothing in this world. With so much stuff to absorb, being able to say "I did it all," rings like a broken bell in an...
I have been of two minds when it comes to trailer compilations. On one hand, it's always nice to have a curated collection of trailers to play in the background at a party, but on the other hand it's difficult for me to justify paying 30+ dollars on a bunch of...
Justin and Will talk Sylvester Stallone, RAMBO, ROCKY, THE ITALIAN STALLION and every other film they can think of in this super sized episode of THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB. Plus, a bonus mini-episode on Kevin Smith. [soundcloud...
Resident Evil: Retribution is not a film. It’s a broken video game, whose code has gone sour, crashing together in explosions of non-sequitur, desperate to excite. I like it. Like every film of the franchise the first fifteen are the strongest, with a straight lift...

A guy jumps out of a helicopter firing two guns at zombies. I think about this a lot. Why don't like people love RESIDENT EVIL APOCALYPSE? I've heard people call it cheap fan pandering garbage. They rant and rave that it doesn't have the smooth action of the first one...
