The Expendables 2 (2012)
Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) recruits the Expendables after their latest mission — to retrieve a Chinese businessman, which is the only appearance of Jet Li in this film — for an easy paycheck. But when one of their own is murdered, the mission goes from simple retrieval to revenge against new bad guy Jean Vilain […]
Yellow (2012)
Who says giallo had to stop in the 1970’s? Certainly not the makers of this film, who crafted this neon-lit exploration of the genre in 2012. This is the story of an old man obsessed with a serial killer who is also obsessed with him. Each murder, the killer calls him to say that he […]
21 Jump Street (2012)
Sure, this is based on the 1987–91 television series of the same name by Stephen J. Cannell and Patrick Hasburgh, but I was amazed by how much I loved this movie. It takes that concept, goes crazy and pushes every teen movie cliche as far as it can take it. In 2005, Morton Schmidt (Jonah […]
BASTARD PUPS OF JAWS: Piranha 3DD (2012)
After the events of the last Piranha film, where Lake Victoria was attacked by prehistoric killer fish that were continuing to evolve, the lake has drained and the town itself has been abandoned.

DOCUMENTARY WEEK: The Source Family (2012)
People always wonder, why would someone join a cult? How could someone give away so much of their freedom to get nothing back into return? A few minutes into watching this film and your answer will not be so clear. The Source Family was an attempt at creating a utopia. Between a famous health food […]
BIGFOOT WEEK: Bigfoot (2012)
A remake of 1970’s Bigfoot, this is a Sci-Fi and Asylum co-production that first aired on June 30, 2012. Throughout the film, depending on how you’ll feel about the way these guys make movies, you’ll hate the humor and bad CGI. Or you’ll love it. Most people aren’t in the middle. Harley Henderson (Danny Bonaduce) is a […]
John Dies at the End (2012)
I have no idea how to even start discussing this movie, other than to tell you that it’s all over the place narrative and insane concepts make it a film that seems created for a target audience of one — me. Written and directed by Phantasm creator Don Coscarelli and based on the book by David […]
