The Belko Experiment Reviewed
“Mommy always said there were no monsters. No real ones…but there are.” – Newt, Aliens (1986). Sometimes the scariest movie monsters are the ones that require absolutely no makeup or Hollywood special effects. Most horror movies boil down to a fear of one another, but The Belko Experiment totally cuts out the middle-man. No ghosts, which are just ex-people. No monsters built by a mad scientist or Demons release by a power-hungry sorcerer. It’s people. Average people trying to go about their lives and get home to the people that care about them. The plot isn’t perfect, but I thought it was very sharp. James Gunn’s dialogue is great, and most of all, this movie makes you feel horror. It gets a reaction and it’s not easily shaken while the movie is rolling. The corporate safe-for-work environment makes it that much more chilling to see each character’s violent demise (and it is violent!). Now, I will have some spoilers in here, but I’ll mark the top of any paragraphs with major plot points if you want to skate around them. However, I just have to talk about the paradigm-shift in this film.

Silver Age of Superhero Movies 2000 - 2007
With Bryan Singer's X-Men and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, two of Marvel's biggest hitters showed just how the modern superhero should be viewed. This prompted a wave of imitators and eventually the end of the classic franchise with X-Men: The Last Stand and Spider-Man 3. Quietly, on the sidelines, Christopher Nolan kicks off a street-level guerrilla war with Batman Begins that will solidify the end of the Silver Age of Superhero Movies from 2000 to 2007.

Dark Age of Superhero Movies 1989 - 2000
Tim Burton drags the comic-book onto the screen in all its wild and wonderful glory, but studios lack confidence. Successes like The Crow, Darkman, The Rocketeer, and Blade are exceptions in an era defined by the Batman-esque pulps of Dick Tracy, The Shadow, and The Phantom, and the MTV-schlock like Spawn and Steel.

'Beauty and the Beast' A Delight, But What About Those Stereotypes?
There is no question about the quality of Beauty and the Beast, regardless of whether you watch the animated or the live action version of the film. The films are both visually stunning, and the music is gorgeous. Emma Watson as Belle also has a surprisingly good singing voice, and Dan Stevens makes the most of acting through a heavy layer of makeup. In all, the new film is in many ways on par with the 1991 animated one.

Ready To Enter 'The Matrix' Again?
Are you ready to re-enter The Matrix? The Wachowski's hit film series is set to be rebooted, according to reports, and Zak Penn, the writer behind X2 and Pacific Rim, is said to be in talks to pen it. Warner Bros is apparently considering a structure similar to what's been seen with the Star Wars series lately, so there are a wealth of possibilities as to what could occur.
