NEW GREEEN LANTERN TRAILER: Ok, so it finally looks good.

Thursday, May 5th, 2011


We’ve been worried about this one for a while… the first trailer looked like one quarter Dark Knight, one quarter Ironman and one quarter Van Wilder. Yep just three quarters. But now we get 100% epic intergalactic battle.

What do you think?

CONAN TRAILER: But where’s Conan?

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

We honestly didn’t give a geek’s goddam about this movie until we saw Momoa in Game of Thrones. We know he was in Stargate, but after seeing him essentially play Conan for HBO on the small screen, we’re pretty sure he can do it for Lionsgate on the big screen, too.

But it’s not like you’d know that from this trailer that he’s hardly in.

DEATHLY HALLOWS 1 REVIEW: The Death Eaters Strike Back

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 is easily the darkest film in the series, but as half a movie, it’s tough to judge on its own merit. We both loved it to death, but we’ve also BOTH read all the books at this point. What did you think?

ECLIPSE REVIEW: Wait… Matt… LIKED it?

Friday, July 16th, 2010

As a film and as an adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s bestselling tween romance novels, Eclipse’s director, David Slade, most certainly out-did either of his predecessors. While the love story remains intact to satisfy Nat’s need for any angsty werewolf/vampire/human love triangle, Matt appreciated the clear effort taken to attract a male audience by adding a dark and more violent visual style, that was clearly riffing on actual horror elements for the first time in the series.

Coming up next are Reviews of The Last Airbender, Predators and Inception!

Friday, May 21st, 2010


After 14 video games and over two decades, the Prince of Persia is getting his own movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina. And with Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer on board, the bar is set pretty high for action, comedy, romance and adventure. But will it bring us all the elements that have made two generations of gamers fall in love with the source material? Watch our preview and let us know what YOU think!

ROBIN HOOD REVIEW: Hold on… That Wasn’t Robin Hood!

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe make a great team. Just look at Gladiator. Really. We mean it, skip Robin Hood and just go watch Gladiator. This movie is so BARELY a story of Robin Hood, it hardly deserves the name, and winds up being little more than a re-tread of Scott’s previous epic work. Everyone phoned it in on this one, folks; don’t waste your time.
