INCEPTION REVIEW: $200 Million Well Spent, Chris!

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

After pulling in over $1Billion for Warner Brothers with the Dark Knight, it was pretty nice of them to give $200Million of it back to Christopher Nolan for a little movie he called Inception. Especially since it’s probably Nolan’s finest work, and on its way to possibly being the biggest movie of the summer. The only question is: what happened at the end?

PREDATORS REVIEW: At Last! The Third Predator Film

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Rodriguez might have cut the usual Troublemaker Studios corners on Predators, but he and Nimrod did right by the franchise for the first time since Danny Glover and Arnie. But how did Adrien Brody stack up to his predecessors from the 80’s and 90’s?

Friday, May 14th, 2010

We were blown away by the first Ironman, and with the same creative team behind the sequel, we had high hopes going into part 2. The drama, action and comedy were all firing on all cylinders and it didn’t take long for us to realize we were in an Ironman film! Long live the Ironmen!

IRONMAN 2 VIDEO GAME REVIEW: Gyp Me Twice?

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010


With the rich world of the first Ironman film to start with and the failure of the first Ironman video game to learn from, adding Marvel’s writer behind Invincible Ironman to the equation SHOULD have made for an amazing game this time around… but it didn’t.

IRONMAN 2 PREVIEW: Hammer? Whiplash? War Machine? Black Widow? Now THAT’s a Sequel!

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

John Favreau, Robert Downey Jr. and Gweneth Paltrow are back for the follow-up to Marvel’s incredible Ironman and joining them are Don Cheadle, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson to bring Tony Stark face-to-face with at least one more iron man of his own design: War Machine! Plus, his industrial nemesis Justin Hammer, S.H.I.E.L.D. Leader Nick Fury, the composite villain of Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo PLUS his seducer and betrayer from Ultimates, Black Widow. It’s anybody’s guess where this sequel will be going, but with a fanboy like Favreau in the driver’s seat, we just KNOW it’s going to be a ride we’re gonna love!

THE BOOK OF ELI REVIEW: Rewatch!

Saturday, January 30th, 2010


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!

DAYBREAKERS REVIEW: What $20M SHOULD Look Like.

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010


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!
