If you were to take the movie Kill Bill, mix it with the Karate Kid, and then put it into animation form, the end result would be Chop Socky Chooks.
Featuring 13 of the most wackiest adventures and martial arts mayhem that one has ever seen, volume one of Chop Socky Chooks shows three chickens Chick P, KO Joe and Chuckie Chan “battling virtual villains, karaoke crazies, rogue robots, prehistoric predators and even fast-food fiends” all in hopes to save Wasabi World from the powers that be.

The film is a nightmare. The good kind of nightmare, the one where you're breathing increases and there seems to be no escape. The kind of nightmare where you wake up and you need several minutes to catch your breath. I may be slightly embellishing, but there are moments that catch you off guard. The film works quite well at establishing tempo and uses its handheld camera very efficiently from start to finish. I have not had an opportunity to see the American remake Quarantine. However, I can only speculate that the spirit of the original is painfully lost.

I guess they didn’t tell the producer and director of Wrong Turn that an official remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre would be gracing the screens in October of 2003. This movie borrows very heavily from the horror classic in terms of the setup, the killers, and the level of gore. Now that being said, this is an above average horror film with excellent makeup and special effects delivered by one of Hollywood’s greatest – Stan Winston,

Romance. Drama. Tragedy and more tragedy. These four words sum up the entire storyline of Jada in a nutshell.
Starring Sienna Goines as Jada, Jada is a faith-based story about a woman whose life turns up side down when her husband tragically dies in a car accident, leaving her and their two teenage kids out on the streets with nothing but the clothes on their back and their car that they now have to live out of.

Dario Argento’s film Suspiria is a pillar in the horror film genre. Argento has crafted an aesthetically disturbing film with his use of color and violence. What separates Argento’s body of work from other directors is his disregard for the normal conventions of narrative cinema. By constantly disorienting the audience with unmotivated long shots and graphic violence, Argento never lets the viewer get comfortable.

If Nip/Tuck were in the dictionary, chances are you’d find the word “controversy” somewhere close by.
With its raunchy, over the top sex scenes and somewhat offensive plot lines securely intact, season 5 is split up into two separate parts which aired about one full year apart. Because of this, instead of selling the season as a complete DVD set, it’s currently only available as part one and part two, leaving you wondering why they didn’t just wait to release the entire season as a whole.

Mitch Fatel gained a lot of his credentials in stand up comedy by touring clubs around New York City since he was 15. His genre of perverted sexual comedy is a guilty pleasure of the late night hosts: Jay Leno, David Letterman and Conan O'Brien have him on regularly to perform and act as a correspondent. Mitch has released two comedy CD's (Miniskirts and Muffins and Super Retardo) that were very successful prior to this Comedy Central special. To say that his style of comedy is low-brow is the understatement of the year. However, I found myself laughing at some of his material and needing some time to reflect on myself shortly thereafter.
