Fending Frenzy | “Piranha 3D” Review
Piranha 3D delivers on what it promises better than any movie I’ve seen this year. It knows exactly what it is, and what you the audience wants from this type of B picture. I even had to create a special split rating for the movie in light of it’s insanity. However, you might be thinking you could just watch the equivalent of this film on the SyFy Channel. Well, you are both right and so, so wrong. So here is list of reasons why you should see this movie in theaters, and a list outlining why you should stay as far away as possible. I’ll leave the final choice up to you.

Double Feature | A.I. Artificial Intelligence and Minority Report
Steven Spielberg is and always will be one of my favorite filmmakers. As a child he guided me through the treacheries that is every day life with film such as: Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Jurassic Park, and (dare I say) Hook. From 1997 to 2005, Spielberg hit a creative peak and began to dive into darker and more adult themed material starting with Amistad and ending beautifully with Munich. The double feature I will be recommending is two of his best works in his dark run, the extremely underrated sci fi duo, A.I. Artificial Intelligence and Minority Report.

Under the Radar | The Edge
This is a column that will focus on little known films, directors, writers, and actors. The column does not exist to tell you what to watch, but to simply help raise interest in the great art and talent that goes unseen year by year. So let’s begin. The film I will be spotlighting is the Lee Tamahori “Jaws in the wilderness” film The Edge. The Edge was directed by Lee Tamahori and written by the immensely talented David Mamet. Mamet is one of my favorite screen writers, and he brings everything that I love about his scripts to this film.
