From the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, Britain’s Hammer Films made an indelible mark on the landscape of horror movies. These films bridged the gap between the rather tame films of the 40s and 50s to the more visceral, violent faire of the 1970s and beyond.

This episode kinda makes me wish that Michael Biehn hadn’t made the jump to the past in 1984, fathering what might be the biggest panty-waste in future resistance history.

The direct-to-DVD market is filled with mid-list action films, and more keep on coming. In the past couple weeks, three films have caught our eye. Let’s look at how they stack up against each other.

Here’s another episode that proves that David Hewlett is possibly the most versatile actor on Stargate: Atlantis.

Sex Drive is raunchier than you’d expect, and it works. It definitely puts the “sex” back in the teen sex comedy.

Every year, a movie is released that is so torturous to sit through that it almost violates the terms of the Geneva Convention. This is the one for 2008.

To quote Stone: “How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?” And Stone explores that. So why don’t we? Get your drink on with this game and maybe you will be a future President of the United States.

South Park has a rich history of offending people. I was waiting for some fallout from this episode pissing off somebody.

To say this episode, or the previous episode, was made for the fans would seem redundant in the Stargate universe. At this point, almost every episode is made for the fans.

A stumbling block for myself as a big, fat American who doesn’t understand all the nuances of Middle Eastern politics is that the movie was often hard to follow.

Horror movie fans can enjoy the visceral experience presented in Quarantine.

Even though devout Muslims aren’t allowed to drink, you can when you go see Body of Lies.

Quick… you’re trapped in an apartment building, and there’s a rash of super-rabies going around. Do you A) gather in the atrium and wait to die, B) try to escape the quarantine and get shot, or C) put all the sick people in one room together without restraints and wait for them to eat you?

For once, I’m not here to bury celebrities, but to praise them. (And yes, that was a Shakespeare reference, punks!)

A new Terminator comes back in time to hunt a key member of the future resistance. When Sarah figures this out, she sends John and Derek to protect the target while she and Cameron help save a young boy with the same name.

I wouldn’t say that the new film Flash of Genius is terrible. It’s actually not that bad. However, it could have been so much better.

When you’re a kid from New Jersey, nothing beats heading into New York City to bar hop, looking for your favorite band. If you can fall in love in the process, that’s even better. And even more better if you can drink… a lot.

This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and don’t drink wood alcohol because you will probably go blind.

The real stars of this film are the dogs. The humans were lackluster in comparison. But the reality is that you can’t beat talking dogs on the cuteness meter.

Enough, already. I don’t have a problem with male nudity, but this is getting to be a bit much.

Another programming glitch sends Cameron (Summer Glau) on a cyber-psychotic bender.

Daniel Jackson comes to Atlantis to search for an secret Ancient lab with the help of Rodney. However, when they discover the lab, a device attracks mysterious soldiers who kidnap Rodney and Daniel, along with a powerful weapon against the Wraith.

I feel sorry for Spike Lee. He is, after all, a tremendously talented filmmaker. However, his personal issues, political views and overbearing ego gets in the way of making a good movie.

So, you’ve dragged your wife or girlfriend with you to see everything from The Dark Knight to Step Brothers. This weekend, she has her revenge by taking you to see Nights in Rodanthe. There is only one thing that can help you through this crisis… sweet, sweet booze.

The 166-minute running time might make you feel like a soldier in wartime. During and after a war, fellow soldiers often bond over a few drinks.

To make yourself feel closer to Shia the actor, use this game to get drunk and then stumble into a Walgreens late at night and refuse to leave.

Kevin and Neil swear they aren’t planning on offending anyone in this show… until they start talking about unsubstantiated Kirk Cameron rumors.

Last night, there were two news stories that broke rather late. But I would hardly call them news because pretty much everyone from Conan O’Brien to my family’s dog knew were true before they were ever reported.

If you also noticed the purple goo that Zoe slipped on a few weeks back, you’ll be vindicated in thinking that it was going to be a significant plot point.

This episode uses the symbol of a mousetrap to show how the Terminators always seem to be one step ahead of our heroes.
