Many readers probably have not seen either of these films. They both feature actors playing themselves who must deal with the conflict of their own lives.In MY NAME IS BRUCE, Bruce Campbell plays an absolute parody of himself as an actor who cannot ever find good movies and lives in a very bad trailer.

"Antichrist" review by Ben Kenber

It’s been over a week now since I saw the latest cinematic provocation from Danish film director Lars Von Trier. What I witnessed when I saw “Antichrist” is still on my mind, and it took me a long time to process all that I saw. I found myself talking to complete strangers about it as we each tried to interpret on our own terms. Some found it too long which had me wondering if they ever saw Von

"Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" review by Ben Kenber

2009-11-02T02:48:00.002-05:00

WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS! DON’T SAY YOU WEREN’T WARNED! I hated this sequel when I first saw it. At the time, it felt nothing like the first two “Halloween” movies (the third is irrelevant), and there seemed to be nothing in it to make it stand out from all the other slasher movies of the 80’s. To see Donald

"Where The Wild Things Are" review by Ben Kenber

2009-10-26T02:42:00.002-04:00

Spike Jonze’s take on Maurice Sendak’s “Where The Wild Things Are” is one of the few movies I’ve seen in awhile that actually deals with real kids instead of these stereotypically spoiled movie kids who are way too pampered to our collective annoyance. So many family movies these days are watered down crap, mostly Disney releases, that aim to be as inoffensive as humanly possible. As a result, we

Hi, Welcome to another edition of Anthony T's Take. This time around I explain why "Saw VI" is actually one of the best horror films of the year. And no, I'm not joking.(Please note that it represents Anthony T's Opinion and not the opinion of Filmarcade.net.)I do apologize about the language in the beginning, but I'm still shocked at how much I liked it.
