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 [...]

Wanted staring James McAvoy as Wesley Gibson, Morgan Freeman as Sloan, and the sexy tattooed Angelina Jolie as Fox, didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Yes, it was a suburb action movie. And don’t get me wrong, I loved every minute of it. However, it left me a little bit cold once the lights [...]

What can I say? I’m a sucker for the high gloss action movie’s with super powers. Jumper, newly on DVD, is one of those guilty pleasures. I’m even going to role-up a character like Griffin (played by Jamie Bell), meaning that my character will be able to jump, for an upcoming game that colovillis will [...]

The Incredible Hulk is second of Mavel Comics summer movies. It stars Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt. The movie is not a sequel to Ang Lee movie that was released in 2003…and thank god for that. Lee’s vision of the Hulk was ass. He did not [...]

Untraceable is one of those movies that I get to watch by myself. It falls into the genre of Torture Porn; however it is no Saw or Hostel. It does have scenes where people are being held against their will and killed slowly.
This movie has a clear message from the beginning to the end: there [...]

Even though I like Important Movies (they make me feel smart), I have been avoiding seeing Into the Wild. The story of Christopher McCandless’s (or Alexander Supertramp’s) journey from prestigious college graduate to starved mountain man just seemed like it would be too precious and too depressing to watch in one sitting. Couple that with [...]

While in Middleton, WI this weekend seeing friends and hiking, we couldn’t resist seeing the fourth installment of Indiana Jones: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Our friends were kind enough to buy the tickets in advance so that we did not need to show up hours early and stand in line. [...]

Southland Tales is one crazy movie. It was so crazy that I was not able to completely follow it all and at times, I was utterly lost. However, I stuck it out. I wanted to know how it all would end. The amazing thing is that the ending makes sense. I didn’t think that it [...]

I just watched the first Hellboy movie again this morning while balancing the checkbook. If there are comic book movies that have been done right, I think that this is one of them. I like what was done with the mythology, which is based on my favorite short story writer’s Mythos, H.P Lovecraft.
Ron Perlman is [...]
