Movie Review: Splinter

Category : Blu-Ray Reviews

Splinter

Rating: ★★★★☆ 

Directed By: Toby Wilkins

Starring: Jill Wagner, Paulo CostanzoShea Whigham, Rachel Kerbs

Plot Synopsis:

A young couple has retreated to the wilderness for a romantic camping weekend-but the trip quickly spirals into a nightmare when they are car-jacked by an escaped convict and his girlfriend. Thrown together by chance, no one can imagine the terrifying horror that awaits the two couples at a remote and isolated gas station.

Review:

I love a good monster flick.  The plots are simple (man vs. creature) and are a great excuse for some clever visual effects work.  Since the CGI revolution, monster flicks have been a bit underwhelming.  It seems there has been a resurgence of practical effects making their way back to movies.  I noticed this with the great (yet poorly titled) Alien Raiders and now with Toby Wilkins low budget monster movie Splinter.  Both these movies owe a lot to The Thing, and I think things are looking up for the Monster Flick.

Movie Trailer: The Girlfriend Experience

Category : Trailers

Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) never disappoints to bring us something interesting and thought provoking.  The Girlfriend Experience looks like it will spark a lot of conversation.  And to me, that’s always a good thing.

Plot Synopsis:

Set in the weeks leading up to the 2008 presidential election, The Girlfriend Experience is five days in the life of Chelsea (adult film star Sasha Grey in her mainstream film debut), an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who offers more than sex to her clients, but companionship and conversation – “the girlfriend experience.” Chelsea thinks she has her life totally under control—she feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend (Chris Santos) who accepts her lifestyle. But when you’re in the business of meeting people, you never know who you’re going to meet…

Movie Trailer: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Category : Trailers

Here’s the final trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I’ve always been a fan of the Harry Potter movies. One of the few franchises that gets better with every film. The effects always astound me.

Plot Synopsis:

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.

Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again. [TrailerAddict]
