That’s where bad a*s Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) comes in, who leads the team sent to bring Banner in, and eventually is turned into the Abomination for his trouble. The story is simple enough; starts strong yet loses much of Act One’s steam by the end....

During his third tour in Iraq, Twiggs and his men were stationed at an abandoned hotel near Fallujah, Iraq. In their infinite wisdom, his superiors placed the latrines outside in the open, making them an easy target. Twiggs questioned this decision. But, he was overruled. Then, of course, a mortar hit the latrines, and two of his men died. Having to bear the burden of “how could you let this happen to my son,” Twiggs carried this casualty and his five tours of combat with him long after returning home....

Unfortunately, “The Last Samurai” isn’t just desert, it has to fashion a meaningful story out of all its rich ingredients, and that’s where it falters. Star/producer/swordfighter Cruise plays Nathan Algren, a decorated ex-soldier who’s survived the Civil War and the Indian Wars with a Medal of Honor, a mean whiskey habit and a headful of guilt-spiked nightmares. Come the year 1876, Algren gets hired by his old commander (Tony Goldwyn) to train the army of the Emperor of Japan, who’s busy modernizing his country and needs help fighting an insurrection of samurai led by one Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe)....

Irving (Lisa Jacqueline Starrett) is a woman with a troubled past undergoing a hike on the Pacific Coast Trail (the PCT as the cool kids call it). She’s on the trail to escape her life back home and is more than glad to avoid other hikers.

Ari was once the center of attention in the conversion therapy movement. His father was the founder of the largest conversion “camp” in the U.S., and Ari was the foundation’s poster child.

He’s back with his therapist (Danielle Marie), who suggests that he see a “surrogate” who can help him cope with the physical trauma of his past....

This four-minute short is briskly-paced and entertaining. The action is comedic and the dialogue is even funnier. The film reaches its peak when the woman (Williams) tells her date (Marcelin) that they’re headed to the pool. Mind you, she’s still holding the artillery. He responds with this canon-worthy dialogue: “Now! That’s what I’m talkin’ about! Yeah! See, that’s what I’m talking about! Skinny dipping! Freaky deaky!” Corey A. Burkes, the film’s writer and director, successfully incorporates low budget CGI into the film without weakening the film....

Before we get more into the review, no this is not a comedy, Albert can’t talk and the film is nothing like Ted. I saw Ted before I saw this film, and it actually makes for an interesting double feature where apparently “walking and talking teddy bear” is fine for a grown man to hang out with, but “regular teddy bear” isn’t cool for a young woman to hang out with....

Alex continues to be haunted by his treatment as a political dissident in Hong Kong during the massive protests, and he is haunted by his treatment as a gay man in a culture that has yet to embrace his LGBT lifestyle fully....

Sally would also appear in-the-flesh at screenings of “SilverScream”. This was even better. The crowds went wild as she shimmied on stage and hinted at the gruesome murders she had committed herself. Applause for Sally almost overshadowed the applause for the film she was promoting. Inspired by the success of the character, played by his wife, April, Burril decided to write a script around the creation. The result: the obviously-titled “Chainsaw Sally”, one of the most slickly-made and most enjoyable independent films of recent years....

Hitch’s latest remodeling job is one Albert Brennaman (Kevin James), a shy, doughy accountant with an unrequited crush on his firm’s marquee client, heiress Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta). Desperate to show Allegra the depth of his feelings but utterly unable to express them, he seeks out Hitch. After an initial consultation, Hitch agrees to the project, confident in Albert’s prospects no matter how hopeless they may appear, especially to those of us in the real world who know chubby dorks rarely land the beauty queen....

Ten years after the events from the first film, Dante (Brian O’Halloran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson) find themselves working at a Mooby’s fast food restaurant (due to the fact that the Quick Stop had burned down). Instead of coming into the middle of their dreary lives a la Clerks, we’re coming in on the eve of a major change in Dante’s life. His fiance, Emma (Jen Schwalbach Smith), is moving him down to Florida so he can run her father’s car wash business, and this is his last day at Mooby’s with Randal, boss Becky (Rosario Dawson) and innocent, Transformer-loving Elias (Trevor Fehrman)....

Written by Aleksandra Sykulak, Crab Day refers to the annual ritual where the men of the fishing community go out to sea and bring in a massive haul from the traps during the height of crab season. The men bring their sons, now old enough to participate in this somewhat dangerous task, and literally turn them into men after killing their first crab. Our story centers on a young boy’s first trip with his father....

Fischer is an icon of outsider music – someone who marches to the proverbial different drum, if you will. But Fischer doesn’t use a drum. He has a guitar, which he occasionally strums, but mostly he is screaming in a spastic voice – and screaming off-key, sadly enough, with clumsy sound effects added to punctuate his musical messages. Some people find this amusing and a few even find some artistic merit in it....

Cinema certainly doesn’t lack grey-tinged, granola-themed portrayals of life in Smalltown, USA, wherein universal, resonant themes are examined through the prism of its inhabitants. Bolstered by a stellar central performance, writer/director Kent Jones’ debut feature Diane manages to stand out from the crowd, quietly seeping its way under your skin. Here’s a film that starts off on shaky footing but then stabilizes as it (very gradually) progresses, until it not only finds itself firmly grounded but also performing a careful balancing act, both narratively and thematically....

After much discussion we finally decided to ease people into it and go for some solid crowd pleasers. That’s right, we decided to go with the Meiko Kaji. Although I had already watched “Female Convict Scorpion: Jailhouse 41” with some friends about a year and a half ago, we had never watched it with the Den of Sin, and being that the Peanut Gallery are such big fans of Meiko it seemed like a nice treat to welcome people back....
