Iron Man review

It seems that ever since the initial success and resurgence of the comic book movie, headlined by X-Men in 2000 and Spider-Man in 2002, Hollywood will not rest until every other comic super hero is exploited with similar results. Thus we now have Iron Man. Not being a comic book reader myself, I am not [...]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Fans have been itching for a new Indiana Jones film for 20 years, and they have finally been rewarded for their long wait. It has been said that one of the major reasons for the delay has been getting a script that George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford all liked and felt passionate about. [...]

Phone Booth review

Released in 2003, Phone Booth stars mainly Colin Farrell, but also includes several other relatively big names. Farrell plays a cocky, smooth-talking publicist with no conscience. At the start, we see him working several of his “clients” to get what he wants out of each one, lying and deceiving anyone he can and stringing along [...]

AVP: Requiem

I certainly was not expecting this movie to be as good as the first AVP, mainly because it is directed by people other than the previous director and I wasn’t really impressed with what they had expressed to the media about the vision and direction they were taking. Pretty much, I was right. I did, [...]

I Am Legend review

For those of you that don’t already know, this is actually a film version of a book. A pretty old book in fact, I believe it was written in the 50s.
The premise here is that the year is 2012. Several years before, scientists had invented what was supposed to be the cure for cancer. Much [...]

Alvin and the Chipmunks review

Anyone old enough to remember the cartoon of the same name from the 80s and early 90s needs no introduction to this movie. I was pleasantly surprised to find the film true to the cartoon and more fun than I thought it would be.
At the very start we meet Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, three chipmunks [...]

Saw 4 review

While the story for this one is a little different than the previous three, Saw 4 manages to continue fleshing out the backstory of these characters and refuses to let the series die.
Now you might think that since everybody died at the end of Saw 3, that was it. Tsk, tsk. Being the genious that [...]

Transformers review

Based on the TV show of the same name from the 1980s, Transformers attempts to bring all the action, coolness, and fond memories of the cartoon to the big screen in a mix of live action and computer artistry.
The movie starts off with a bang. We have a US military base in the middle east [...]

The Grudge 2 review

I just got around to seeing this movie.   The first Grudge continues to freak me out to this day and I was ready and anxious to pop this one in.   I watched it at night, turned off all the lights in the house, and prepared myself.   While this round wasn’t quite as [...]

Superman Returns review

I’ve wanted to see this movie ever since I heard they were making it. If you just look at the commercials and previews, you might think that this new Superman was a remake, as there are a lot of similar-looking scenes to the 1978 original. Before too long though, you’ll realize that this isn’t your [...]
