The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) tells a tale that has become a staple of the film world: one man’s triumph over adversity.
It follows the life of Martin Lomax, a lowly, sexually-abused parking attendant, as he casts off the shackles of his dark and dreary existence and embarks on a journey to live out his dream: sewing 12 people together mouth-to-anus so that they possess a single digestive tract.

Tarsem Singh’s sword-and-sandals epic plays fast and loose with traditional mythology, but exhibits an astounding artistic style. The story centres around King Hyperion (who is not actually a mythical figure), embarking on a conquest of all of Greece. He plans to do this by obtaining the most powerful weapon known to humanity, the mystical Epirus Bow, which can then be used to free the Titans from the depths of Tartarus.

lint Eastwood’s latest biopic, J. Edgar, narrows in on the life of the first FBI director who led the agency from 1935 to 1972. Starring a beady-eyed Leonardo DiCaprio (who excels in playing these unorthodox characters) one can’t help but form expectations for a bullet-laden historical thriller. However, Eastwood takes an unforeseen direction and guides the film with a top-secret romantic plot that touches on Hoover’s alleged homosexuality.

Whenever a new Twilight movie comes out, I see it on opening night. This isn’t because I think they’re good movies. It’s because I know they’re bad, and hilariously so.
Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is the fourth film in the much-loved, much-reviled teen vampire romance series based on novels by Stephenie Meyer. The film can be described in one line: Edward and Bella get married, have sex on their wedding night and Bella gets pregnant. That’s it.

Johnny Depp once again perfectly manifests himself as gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson — this time incarnated as Paul Kemp, circa 1961 in Puerto Rico. As before, The Rum Diary focuses on the search for the “American dream,” alongside drug and alcohol-fueled shenanigans.

In the near future, time is money in the most literal sense imaginable.
That’s the basic concept behind In Time, the latest science-fiction thriller from Andrew Niccol, the director of Gattaca and Lord of War. It’s a neat concept and well executed in the film, but unfortunately the concept seems to be the only innovation in the movie.

There is a tendency to act hostile toward a remake for no reason other than the fact that it is a remake. I do my best to avoid this.
When I went to see the new Footloose in theatres, I kept my mind open, although I had the lingering knowledge that there were a million different ways they could screw it up. What I found, however, was a remake that did almost everything right.

It all starts with one touch, one sneeze, one cough — and one fatality can become 30 million.
