The Crazies
A remake of the 1973 Grindhouse classic,
this film earns our highest praise. From the
opening moment until the bitter end, you
will be glued to your seat. There is no
weakness in this remake, the lighting is
superb, acting excellent, story enthralling
and camera work as good as it gets.
Timothy Olyphant delivers an outstanding
performance in this film and shows us the
greatness to come from him. I have to
hand it to Romero here as well for he was
wise to align himself with a talented cast
behind the cameras. Scott Kosar and Ray
Wright did an outstanding job to keep this
film as close to the original as possible and
Brent Eisner's direction keeps pace. For
those of you who experienced this classic,
it is a touch different from the original and
the nudity and sex was left at home so
rejoice! You can bring the entire family and
enjoy the show. The Crazies is rated R for
bloody violence and language.
OSH rates it 4 out of 5!

Jonah Hex
It's a real shame that after six-plus weeks
of advertising Jonah Hex, it lasted no
longer than an hour and ten minutes. I
loved the concept they brought to the
screen but was oh so disappointed at how
quickly the story unraveled - like a 100
meter dash race. A serious waste of time
and poor planning on the part of the
production team as I would have sat
through two hours of this film had they
given it the opportunity it needed to
introduce a possible franchise. A great cast
who I apologize to for giving such a great
performance in hast. Josh IS one of the
premiere leading men, Megan did great
despite the "backlash" from her Michael
Bay comments and Malkovich was royalty
as usual. A sad sad waste of time so all we
can hope for is additional scenes when its
released on Blue Ray & DVD.

Clash of the Titans
They say a broken clock is right at least
twice a day and the same applies for the
mainstream film critics. More often than
not I am at odds with them but this time I
have to agree. Titans is awful! And where
was the 3D? The cracken looks like the
creature in Cloverfield, the story is
predictable and boring, Liam Nelson was
flat as hell and the Gods must be going
through the same financial strains as us
because they skimped on the "gifts" to give
Perseus his edge. And enough with Sam
Worthington already! I didn't hate him in it
but I didn't love him either. He was
awesome in Salvation but I just didn't feel it
this time around. This one's certainly
technically superior but it ends there with
the exception of some great acting; Liam
Cunningham (Dog Soldiers) & Gemma
Arterton (Quantum of Solace) made me
almost forget how bored I was.

Iron Man 2
Is the second better than the first? That's
one of the most unfair questions being
asked about this years biggest film. Yeah I
said it! Iron Man 2 has only one thing more
than the first - more action! At almost 2
hours, the next installment picks up right
where it left off. Tony Stark is riding Iron
Man as high as, well Tony Stark can. But
there is a new foe waiting in the cold of
Russia, one who has a personal score to
Whiplash old iron head. Robert continues
to bring Stark to life for the life long fans
and newcomers. And the supporting cast
draw you in even more as you almost get
swept away to those days of reading an
issue sitting on the roof of your house to
hide from that damn Algerbra homework.
But more than all of that - 2 lays the stage
for the Avengers and remaining heroes to
be introduced. STAY until the very end for a
secret revel of the next Marvel Hero to
grace the screen.
OSH rate it 5 out 5! Best of 2010!!!

A Nightmare on Elm Street
While Bay does yet another phenominal
job of breathing new life into an 80"s
classic, Old School Horror was somewhat
disapointed in the overuse of CGI effects
and "forced-fear". The key mistake was
loosing site of what made this film special;
a sureal fear that CGI just can't match.
OSH rates it 2.5 out of 5!
Fan Review:
While Nightmare On Elm Street, the
remake, is not a must see movie it was not
done in poor taste. With its upgraded
makeup (Freddy actually looks burned and
melted) and some minor changes in the
story line it stayed true to it's predecessor
making it a movie that did not disrespect its
elder. In my opinion this was a good movie
for Freddy newcomers as well as Freddy
faithfuls. Tracy Ross - Contest Winner

Kick Ass
Chloe Moretz steals the show in this
adaptation of the graphic comic. For those
faithful fans of the site you will recall my
editorial of her performance in 2005's After
Dark Horror Fest film, Wicked Little Things,
this guy told the world she would be the
next mega-star in Hollywood. Respectfully
the entire cast to include Nick Cage and
Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Fogal) give
outstanding performances. And director
Matthew Vaughn cleverly weaves a
knock-out film that you stand and cheer
when the ending credits role. And if I'm
wrong than why did Marvel rush to ink him
as the director for the next X-Men
installment, X-Men: First Class? There is a
true genius to his work that I hope you all
will enjoy! Also look for Chloe's next big
film; the American adaptation of Let The
Right One In - Let Me In coming October
1st.
