NEW MOON REVIEW: Twilight Kicked Up a Notch

Friday, November 20th, 2009


We were both impressed with what this sequel was able accomplish over the first film in the Twilight franchise. With better action, better acting, and better direction all around, New Moon gave both Nat as a Twilight veteran, and Matt as a noob, much more than we were expecting.

PLUS – Click here to take a look at our review of Twilight from last year!

NEW MOON PREVIEW: Bella? Check. Edward? Check. Jake? Uh-oh.

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009


After Nat got us both hooked on Bella and Edward’s story in 2008, we’ve been looking forward to a high-octane director’s take on the Werewolf curveball in New Moon, so check out what Kristen, Taylor and director Chris Weitz say we’re in store for!

T4 REVIEW: Terminator Salvageable? Satisfactory? Sub-par?

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

We both loved parts and hated parts; we both thought parts were bad ass and other parts had no balls at all… only problem is, we’re not totally in agreement on which was which.

This isn’t exaclty a film series that prides itself on continuity, but still, as Terminator fans, but after 25 years of Terminators, we have a certain minimum expectation. What did you think?

T4 PREVIEW: Does McG Spell Salvation for the Terminator Franchise?

Monday, May 18th, 2009

After an atrocious T3, it looked like the Terminator film series was suffering from classic franchise fatigue (seriously, THREE movies about the same exact plot?). But with the arrival of McG in the director’s chair, we’ve got a movie about the coolest part of the Terminator universe: the dystopian future that all these wacky killing machines are from. Not to be confused with three hot babes who work for a talking speaker.

With a killer film look, some great actors, and a NEW idea for once, Terminator looks like it’s relevant again, and ready to rock this summer’s blockbuster season… Check out this sweet preview with TONNES of scenes from the film!

PUNISHER REVIEW: War Zone Splits the Geeks!

Monday, December 8th, 2008

It’s a completely two-sided review for Punisher: War Zone, with one of us madly in love with the dark live-action romp through the pages of Marvel Knights favourite hero, and the other simply unimpressed with comic violence pushed past the point of enjoyable. Where do your feelings fall on this third installment of the Punisher franchise?
