Star Trek (2009)
Let me start out this review by saying truthfully that I have been an unrepentant Star Trek fan since 1986. I watched the original series in syndication as I entered my teens. I really enjoyed ‘Wrath of Khan’ and ‘Voyage Home’, but I really can’t say I was anything more than a casual [...]

Watchmen (2009)
“Who watches the Watchmen?”
When news leaked that Rorschach appeared (for one single frame) in the trailer for ‘300’ I was giddy with anticipation. That was back in 2006. I went out (like most other comic book fanboys) and found a copy of the graphic novel so I could re-familiarize myself with the story and characters, [...]
The Wrestler (2009)
So, I dragged the same person to this that I saw Twilight with since let’s be honest she owed me one. I sat through two hours of that narcissistic vampire wannabe high school bullshit, the least she can do is watch an Oscar nominated film with me.
Mickey Rourke was extremely believable. I actually forgot the [...]
Twilight (2008)
So, I went and saw it JUST so I could review and explain my opinion of this genre.
I did not, and have no plans to read the series of books partly because I am not a teenage girl, and these books were written with that target audience in mind. So, let’s begin with the movie [...]
Hancock (2008)
When Hancock came to theatres last July I was in no hurry to see it based on the reviews I’d seen and quite frankly the trailers I’d caught didn’t wow me. So, earlier this week, when my roommate wanted to rent some movies we were both fairly ambivalent about seeing Hancock, but neither of us had [...]
In Bruges (2008)
In the interests of proper representation, lets review a non-comicbook related movie…
“Shoot first. Sightsee later.”
Two Irish hitmen take a vacation in Bruges, Belguim… antics ensue, film at eleven.
This movie takes you on a beautiful visual tour of the most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium. Our story follows Ray and Ken (played by Colin [...]

This is a holder for my eventual review of the film.
Justice League: The New Frontier (2008)
In a word: Awesome.
I’m always a fan of movies that stay true to the original story. I read the tpb editions of DC: The New Frontier a few months before the dvd came out on the advice of a friend who swears by this story as stongly as he does the work of Alan Moore or Frank [...]
El Laberinto del fauno (Pan’s Labyrinth) (2006)
“What happens when make-believe believes it’s real?”
This was the tag-line for Guillermo del Toro’s beautiful fantasy, translated for Western audiences as “Pan’s Labyrinth”. I learned of this film several months in advance and actively made every effort to ensure that a) I knew where it would be shown in my city. b) All my friends knew about this movie too. I [...]
