Reach Me

By Nathan Kamal
November 27, 2014
in :  Film, Film Reviews

[xrr rating=1.0/5]Okay, I’ll be honest. I’m not really sure what to do with this one. Some movies are bad, but have redeeming virtues like a premise that was clearly lost in the translation to the screen, or a fine acting performance buried somewhere in a mess of a plot. Some at least struggle by with solid film foundations, like a …

Criminally Underrated: Demolition Man

By Stacia Kissick Jones
July 17, 2013
in :  Criminally Over/Underrated, Features, Film

It’s 1996 and Los Angeles is a hellhole of the first order, alight like a perpetually-burning tire fire but with half the whimsy. Supercop John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) and professional psychopath Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) are in a standoff in an abandoned warehouse, but Spartan botches the operation and dozens of hostages are killed. Both Spartan and Phoenix are sentenced …

Year by Year: Worst Summer Movies (1985-1994)

By Spectrum Culture Staff
May 16, 2013
in :  Lists, Year by Year

Summer at the box office is the season of promise, a time when loud trailers proudly herald the latest special effects bonanza. This year is no different than the others: the Enterprise will fly again, Brad Pitt will fight zombies, the Wolfpack is back and that’s not even mentioning the slew of superhero movies the studios are asking us to …

Re-Make/Re-Model: Judge Dredd (1995) vs. Dredd (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo
April 14, 2013
in :  Film, Re-Make/Re-Model
Sylvester Stallone in Judge Dredd (1995)

Beyond basic issues of quality, there’s a lot of distance between 1995’s Judge Dredd and 2012’s Dredd, two very different takes on the same rough-hewn comic book character. This space can be contextualized by the wildly dissimilar cultural climates which produced each film, the product of a shifting attitude toward this type of material, which peaked with the grave sanctimoniousness …

Re-Make/Re-Model: Get Carter (1971) vs. Get Carter (2000)

By Nathan Kamal
January 27, 2013
in :  Features, Film, Re-Make/Re-Model
Michael Caine in Get Carter (1971)

Get Carter is one of the all time great gangster flicks, a masterpiece of crime cinema that could have never been made any earlier than it was. By the beginning of the 1970s, the infamously rigorous British censorship system had begun to buckle under the experimentalism of the previous decade and changing social mores. Suddenly, what was acceptable to be …

In Defense Of: Tango & Cash

By Marcus David
July 14, 2010
in :  Criminally Over/Underrated, Features, Film
Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone in Tango & Cash

In Defense Of. When bad movies go good. Rotten Tomatoes: 39% Fresh A bespectacled, well-dressed Sly Stallone stands quietly in the middle of a long, deserted highway, aiming his police-issue revolver at the tanker truck speeding towards him. The truck slams on the squealing brakes, stopping several feet before liquefying our hero. The force of the stop sends the driver …
