My 5 Underrated Horror Films [Video]

Something totally random: A video response to Justin's [Rhine1988] Deadly Blessing DVD YouTube contest, in which I have to list my 5 horror films that I feel are underrated and should be talked about more. What are yours?

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) [Video Review]

Tommy Wirkola

Jeremy Renner - Hansel
Gemma Arterton - Gretel

Derek Mears - Edward

Genre - Action/Comedy/Supernatural/Witches

Here's Tommy Wirkola's take on a classic fairy tale starring Jeremy Renner, Gemma Alterton, and Famke Janssen. While fun, silly, and a big budgeted B-movie, this film could have used more sugar when it came to the screenwriting department. Pretty much a rental. Just dumb popcorn entertainment and nothing more.

I babble about Guillermo Del Toro's latest production starring Jessica Chastain and a cartoonish looking CGI ghost. Not a perfect film, but a mostly positive experience.

A stomach flu won't stop me from reviewing this "psychological thriller" from last year starring Jennifer Lawrence and Max Thieriot. In fact, it's possible this film gave me this stomach flu to begin with...
