Woody Harrelson turns in what could be the best performance of his career as a developmentally challenged man who takes the name of Defendor in his vigilante quest to clean up the streets of Hammer City. It’s becoming posh to do a send-up of the Superhero and Comicbook boom in Hollywood, but that’s not AT ALL what Defendor is. It’s an elegant use of the vocabulary of the vigilante to tell a deeply personal and tragic life story. It’s in limited release, but if you can find it, this indie gem is absolutely worth your time and money!

Let’s preface this review with the fact that Matt is quite possibly one of the biggest werewolf aficionado’s on the planet, having watched any and every lycanthropic-film in the last hundred years. And nothing but nothing compares to The Wolf-Man. Except, of course, The Wolfman. Faithful in all the right ways, and yet unafraid to weave a more complex storyline with more extreme Werewolf rampages, an even more foreign origin story, and an ending that will knock your socks off. Yes, that’s right, there’s a new Wolfman in Blackmoor, Chaney, and he can howl with the best of them.

When we heard that Ryan Reynolds teamed up with Spanish Director Rodrigo Cortes to make a film that takes place exclusively in a coffin for 90-minutes, we were terrified and intrigued. When it rocked Sundance and got a $3-Million Lionsgate distribution deal right after its premiere, we were sold! SO sit back, relax, and get freaked out by these clips from the film and see Ryan & Rodrigo the night of the Sundance premiere!

The Hughes Brothers may have delivered us a familiar “by the book” post-apocalyptic world, the story certainly took some unexpected turns to the point that The Book of Eli may just have a “Sixth Sense” need for a rewatch! Just keep your eye on Denzel in some of the clips in this review!

The Hughes Brothers have been away from the limelight since 2001’s From Hell with Johnny Depp, but their return features the huge combo of Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman in a post-apocalyptic western-inspired tale of biblical proportions.

When young filmmakers with $20 million dollars decide to take on the vampire AND the science fiction genres at the same time, you really shouldn’t expect much. Which is why Daybreakers blew us away. Well conceived, imaginative, original and above all well done, this kind of film would have cost millions more if Hollywood decided to do something similar, and probably wouldn’t have turned out to be nearly as enjoyable!

Were it not for the extenuating circumstances of Heath Ledger’s death mid-production and the just-in-time rescue by faces like Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp, Terry Gilliam’s gorgeous masterpiece of nonsensical visual splendour might not have been a must-see film… but since all that DID happen, we can’t help but recommend it, warts and all!

Guy Ritchie certainly did not let directing a period piece take away from his signature style and flair, because somehow he’s made a historical film feel relevant and modern to an audience today. With a magnificent cast, amazing characters and a story worthy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself, Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock is a new incarnation that will make Downey at home in the ranks of Michael Caine, Chistopher Plummer and Peter O’Toole.
