Movie Review: The Belko Experiment

I swear, I think it was only a week ago that I first heard about The Belko Experiment. The trailer played before the movie Iced (a Video Vortex presentation at the Alamo Drafthouse in Yonkers). I was immediately intrigued, turning to my theater neighbor, Michael Gingold (of Rue Morgue magazine) and asked if he knew of it. He told me he had seen it and that it was good. All right, that’s good. The trailer looked funny and violent and I spied the likes of Michael Rooker and John C. McGinley in the cast, and then I saw it was from the team of James Gunn and Greg McLean. All good. Then I get an email about a free screening with a live stream Q and A. Who am I to say no to that?

Movie Review: 10 Cloverfield Lane

I remember the night the trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane hit theaters, it was with 13 Hours (a movie I did not see). The only reason I knew was that posts started popping up talking about a Cloverfield sequel. Needless to say, I was excited. How did they make this without anyone knowing? Was it a direct sequel? What is the connection? So many questions based on the fact that a trailer just appeared. I am a big of Cloverfield, so this jumped up my anticipation list. Of course, since then many facts about it have been revealed, but to be honest, most of that was secondary to how good the movie is. Seriously, when it comes down to it, it is always about the movie.
