“Natural Born Killer Naturals”

Posted on 21/03/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

Like an idiot, I’ve been working through my movie watch-list in alphabetical (rather than chronological) order, which is how I ended up seeing Elektra Luxx (2010) before its predecessor, Women in Trouble (2009). Thankfully it isn’t too difficult to figure out … Continue reading →

[Contains unnervingly toy-like CGI cop cars and SPOILERS!!!] As inspiration for a script I’m working on, I decided to revisit Robert Rodriguez’s “translation” of Frank Miller’s Sin City comic book series (2005)… but, being a geek, I held out for … Continue reading →

Not So Racy

Posted on 13/01/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

It’s always good when a children’s movie can impart wisdom while it entertains, and Race to Witch Mountain (2009) hammers home a vitally important life lesson for its young, impressionable audience: Sci-Fi nerds are worthless idiots, but cab-driving ex-cons are … Continue reading →

Crimes and Passion

Posted on 02/04/2011 by Dee CrowSeer
