The more footage I see from Guardians of the Galaxy, the more convinced I am that Marvel got it right, big time. James Gunn really seems to have a lock on this part of the Marvel Universe (which I expected from his previous, extremely warped work). As further proof, I submit the new, extended trailer […]

The Words: Intriguing Technically But Annoyingly Predictable!
This is what I know from personal experience: a great, or even good movie can transcend pain; a mediocre one will have no effect, and a bad one will just make things worse. I went into The Words hoping for a distraction from a sore back; it just made things worse.
Colombiana Delivers!
Remember the opening chase sequence from Casino Royale? Replace James bond with a half-dozen thugs and Bond’s prey with a nine-year old girl and you have a pretty good idea of the intensity level at which Colombiana begins. The Olivier Megaton-directed Luc Besson production maintains that intensity for almost two hours.
DVD Review: The Losers is Out On Combo Pack, But Special Features Are Limited to The Blu-Ray Disc

It’s tough to do just a DVD review anymore since many movies, especially those being released by Warner Home Video, are being packaged as combos that include DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital Download.

MOVIE REVIEW: The Losers is a Winner!
The Losers is a relatively low-budget movie adapted from a relatively obscure comics series. It’s packed with action of a PG variety and set up by a CIA operation that not only goes wrong but takes out twenty-five Bolivian children. That last part, staged by a CIA ghost called Max [Jason Patric], was supposed to […]

The team-Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar -find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated […]
Vantage Point: Too Many POVs Spoil The View!
Vantage Point is a pretty cool idea: meld the multiple point-of-views of Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon onto a modern thriller. The basic idea is that the President of the United States is assassinated and we get the act from several different points of view – each adding a little more to our knowledge of the […]
