Generally, I think Tony Scott is an intriguing director, but I’ve never got the feeling that he has a definable style or that signature genre which he excels in – other than teaming up with Denzel Washington on 5 different movies. The problem starts immediately with the introduction of Frank (Denzel Washington). He’s the type […]

The Town is one of the Best Movies of 2010
Ben Affleck gets a bad rap from critics and fanboys alike. The problem is a few years ago he had a year when he was over exposed and in 5 or 8 movies in one year, then he hooked up with J. Lo and that bread more contempt from moviegoers. Personally, I was never on […]

Let Me In – Exclusive Clip!
The folks behind the movie Let Me In (Overture) sent over this brand new clip. Let Me In is the retailing of last year’s critically acclaimed Swedish Vamp movie Let The Right One In. It was on my top ten list. I don’t know why the suits in Hollywood think it’s a good idea to […]
