The film was shot entirely in 30 days in hot sweaty Canyon Country in California, land of Horses and Six Flags theme parks. It stars Sheri Moon Zombie, Sid Haig, and Bill Mosely reprising their roles from the first film, plus Ken Foree, William Forythe, Danny Trejo, PJ Soles, Ginger Lynn Allen, Leslie Easterbrook, and Kane Hodder join on to add to the fun! The sets rock, quite hard in fact....

Vince Leo (home.earthlink.net/~qwipster/xxx.htm), Lisa Schwarzbaum (ew.com), Roger Ebert (suntimes.com), Tim Cogshell (boxoffice.com), Steve Rae (philly.com), Robin Clifford (reelingreviews.com), Michael Elliott (christiancritic.com), Jeffrey Westhoff (nwhearld.com), Rick Kisonak (filmthreat.com), Stephen Hunter (Washingtonpost.com), Tor Thorsen (reel.com), Luke Thompson (newtimesla.com), Joe Baltake (sacbee.com), Maitland McDonagh (tvguide.com) (out of 4 stars) I never thought a movie called XXX would have a PG-13 rating, but Vin Diesel’s new film makes it all too possible. XXX is a movie about Xander Cage (Vin Diesel), an extreme-sports Internet phenomenon....

Meanwhile, Ion (Musa Isufi) and Achilles (Ismail Kasumi) are driving the streets, looking for sex workers with the brand. The two threaten a woman who refuses to talk, which gets them in trouble. They offer large amounts of cash to save their skins and get a meeting with a seller of women. This gets Ion and Achilles a meeting with the sinister pimp Igor (Damjan Cvetanovski), who is much more than they bargained for....

The result should have been a happy work environment of diverse male and female artists creating “Disney magic” in perfect harmony. Instead, what Lee created (whether intentional or otherwise) was a toxic work environment of artists walking on eggshells in fear of being outed by Lee’s snitches. For the Veteran Animators (The Old White Guys), they were left with the choice to either quit for mental health reasons, get fired for the most minor infractions, or shut their mouths and keep their heads down to keep their jobs....

So, as I explained briefly before, Gulf War soldier, Jack Starks, is sent home after taking a bullet in the head, leaving him with amnesia. After his noggin heals, he’s off wandering the roads – Bruce Banner style – when he finds himself caught in the middle of a shooting that ends with a dead cop and himself taking another bullet. Life only gets shittier for Jack as he soon finds himself on trial for a murder he didn’t commit, but due to his amnesia, he’s found not guilty by reason of insanity and locked away in a nut house....

I won’t lie, the first 20 minutes of Touch are boring. It amounts to little more than Fei Fei (Szczepanowska) looking forlorn, awaiting her permanent residency for China to finally come through. There are a few conversations with her husband, Zhang Hua (Jun Yang), and son, Momo (Beckhan), but they are all surface-level. While this eventually pays off, as Fei Fei digs deeper into her husband’s past, it does not create a sense of forward momentum....

It’s an informative film, touching on the definitions of what Tourette’s Syndrome really is, and what it entails, beyond the stereotype currently accepted and expected (the person unable to control themselves as they shout random obscenities; do we blame What About Bob? for making that the most prevalent image of Tourette’s Syndrome?). Beyond our main three subjects, we also get a brief look at Peter Jensen, a man with constant debilitating physical tics that eventually underwent a brain surgery that actually seemed to work, making his life more than tolerable....

Horror Is Not Suspense A pivotal moment in what happened to horror can be traced to 1991 and the release of “Silence of the Lambs.” While undeniably a suspenseful and well-crafted film, this is not a horror movie-it’s a thriller. From this film on, the line between suspense and horror seemed to get blurred as “Silence” was proclaimed as a scary movie. I enjoyed “Silence,” but it wasn’t scary-it was suspenseful....

Rohn and Reagin’s black and white black comedy, Who the Hell is JD Scribbleline? calls to mind every film noir detective known to man. It’s as if the filmmakers gathered all the PI-pieces together like some giant jigsaw puzzle, re-created the most sloppy, bumbling, slimy investigator ever, and named their caricature JD Scribbleline. Physically, Rohn and Reagin’s invention is just as you might imagine. Scribbleline wears well slept in, cheap suits, white ankle socks and scuffed shoes that look as if they’ve been run over by a tank several times and then glued back together....

“Willem Dafoe was in Finding Nemo?” barked the voice, as Willem Dafoe’s name scrolled merrily up the screen. “Who the hell was Willem Dafoe?” Well, it says it right there, Bozo. Right there on the screen. Willem Dafoe was Gill. Gill is the hard-living, seriously scarred, escape-obsessed Moorish Idol fish whom the titular Nemo meets in the fish tank of an Australian dentist. But the point is not to dwell on which fish Dafoe lent his voice to....

Seth Green tells a fascinating story about how George Lucas met with Warner Brothers after the first Star Wars, where they told him in so many words that he would be a washed-up hack in no time. Lucas left that meeting furious, vowing to make more Star Wars hits, and supposedly, the Holiday Special was born. Many more interesting and comedic backstories in A Disturbance in the Force try to explain how and why the television special ended up the way it did....

A rich American female collector has commissioned original works by the famous painter, an order of five paintings and three painted vases. She wants them by Monday morning. Picasso lets him know this is absolutely impossible but then finds out exactly how much she is going to pay. Picasso is then informed that Daniel has already sent someone to his studio to ensure he completes the work. That is when Picasso turns to the viewer and confronts them about invading his studio in order to make sure he isn’t slacking....

Hold that thought, because Anderson’s newest effort, “Alien vs. Predator,” almost plays out as badly as advance word might lead you to believe, and it will end up frustrating fans of both movie franchises enough to make them wish someone more competent was in charge. Taking place in the present, “AvP” posits that the extra-terrestrial predators have visited Earth for millennia, using a captive queen to produce aliens for novice predators to hunt in a controlled environment....

Hundreds of applicants are put through the wringer as they apply to be accepted into the highly respected Academy of Fine Arts. Not only is their art examined and critiqued, but they are asked a series of questions, some of which are very odd. The applicants are put through this process to see what they add to the academy and art as a whole. During the interview process, the applicants meet with a number of professors who want to know every detail about the artist....

Vivian Ashwood (Elizabeth Paige) is in desolate grief and mental disarray, unable to handle a lifetime of mental and emotional abuse from a father who played a part in her sister’s death. Set in and around an enormous estate, the space in which Vivian exists is comparable to the disillusionment that lives in her mind, where we believe her daughter, Bibi (Judith Ann DiMinni), dictates her existence. There was “an accident,” but the details are left unknown....
