[Movie Review] PUBLIC ENEMIES

Kristina — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:30:56 +0000

While most folks were eagerly anticipating one of the worst movies I’ve ever had to sit through as the biggie of the summer, I have had my eyes on Public Enemies ever since I heard that Depp and Bale were going to work together. I like Bale’s work, and dammit I’m a red-blooded heterosexual woman, so [...]

NEVER SURRENDER Trailer

Gareth — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:36:39 +0000

We’re fast becoming accustomed to stars of the WWE branching out into movies. In fact, their over the top performances in the ring kind of lead directly into action movie roles so it’s understandable. But how about a movie starring a load of UFC stars? Never Surrender is the first movie to bring a load of [...]

** Please note, there are spoilers within this review/comments section. If you haven’t seen the movie yet and don’t want to know some fairly major plot points then this isn’t the review for you. Gareth ** I happen to be a big believer in karma. What goes around always has a way of coming around, as that [...]

[Blu-Ray Review] THE PUNISHER: WAR ZONE

Gareth — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 18:18:07 +0000

Let’s get somethings out the way right now. First off, when I was younger I used to read a lot of comics (certainly more than I do now!) and I used to read The Punisher comics quite regularly. I’ve seen the awful Dolph Lundgren take on the character in the awful 1989 The Punisher [...]

Pixar Comes Through Big Time!!!

Kristina — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 03:34:22 +0000

This is one of those stories that you normally hear about on the Oprah show or a Lifetime TV movie. A ten-year-old girl by the name of Colby Curtin saw the trailer for Up when watching Monsters vs Aliens and was instantly excited to see it, like a lot of little kids. Problem is, little Colby [...]

G.I. JOE Gets Posterfied!

Kristina — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:29:26 +0000

Some almost decent posters for the upcoming turd G.I. Joe have been released. I’ve done you all a lovely favor by posting the requisite “hot chick with guns” poster here for you to get a nice long look at, but I’ll direct you here to see the rest of them nice and large. Now, is it [...]

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 4?!

Kristina — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:11:49 +0000

Add this one to the list of sequels being announced these days that I have absolutely zero interest in. Tom Cruise and JJ Abrams have signed on co-produce MI4 for Paramount. They’re aiming for a 2011 release date, and I could not care less. You could put Hugh Jackman naked in this and I would only be [...]

Who Wanted A WANTED Sequel?!

Kristina — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:24:39 +0000

Wanted was an okay waste of time, but still a waste of time nonetheless. The action was intentionally over-the-top, but this technique backfired with me, to the point that I clocked out of the movie about twenty minutes in and never came back. I didn’t care about any of the people onscreen, and Jolie looked [...]
