X-Men: First Class – Peace Was Never an Option!
Matthew Vaughn has done it again! While X-Men: first Class may not have the manic energy of Kick-Ass, Vaughn has produced the best film in the X-Men series. How? By honoring the source material without feeling a need to be enslaved by it. X-Men: First Class is, for the most part, smart, focused and well […]
The Hangover Part II – Been There, Done That!
If you’ve seen the trailer for The Hangover Part II, then you’ve seen most of the funniest bits in the movie. Except for a chain smoking monkey and a bit more use of male genitalia for shock value, most of the rest of the movie is recycled from the first film.
Don’t Be Green With Envy; The Fuzzy Pack Is Back!
With teaser trailers reminiscent of a traditional romance and The Hangover: Part 2, it’s pretty plain to see that The Muppets are back with a vengeance – and they’ve brought along Sweetums and Crazy Harry! Life is good! Check out the teaser trailers after the jump.
Kung Fu Panda 2 – The Dragon Warrior Seeks His Past To Save China [And Kung Fu]!

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tide Sinks, Michelle’s Murky Review!
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: Captain Jack Sparrow – Swashbuckling Since the 17th Century!
It seems there’s definitely some swash left in the buckle for the Pirates of the Caribbean series. On Stranger Tides is easily the best sequel in the series for a number of reasons.
Priest 3D – Short But Not Too Terribly Sweet!
Loosely based on a popular graphic novel series by Ming-Woo Hyung, Priest is an efficient mélange of genres that owes as much to Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns and John Ford’s The Searchers as it does to supernaturally based manga. Sadly, the only reason it doesn’t get an F is a couple of performances.
