That’s what I call “manspeak” and The Magnificent Seven is chock full of it! Since there’s no subtitles for this subtle language it’s often [...]

However, that is not the case with Bail Enforcers. WWE’s Trish Stratus was one of the best actors in the film, and she was only okay…which should tell you something about the other performances. Bail Enforcers is about exactly what [...]

Is there really nothing out there that is a new and original plot anymore? It feels like there isn’t with Hollywood putting out remake after remake and formulaic movies such as Colombiana. Colombiana stars Zoe Saldana as Cataleya, a hardcore assassin seeking revenge on the people [...]

Directed by Takashi Miike, 13 Assassins is a samurai epic based on a true incident. A Shogun’s younger brother, Lord Naritsugu (Goro Inagaki), becomes mad with power, so [...]

You’re really excited and into it at first, then as time goes on and they don’t get to the good stuff, you start getting disappointed, confused, and maybe a little blue. However, if you go into [...]

Can they really be mixed together in a way that all the different genres shine? There have been some successful attempts like True Lies and some not so successful attempts like…well, I don’t know because I usually try to stay away from anything under the romance category. However, I finally decided [...]

Yeah!!! Wait, hold your horses, people. I wouldn’t get too excited about this film just yet. Unless you’re the kind of person who really wants to see Will Forte’s butt over and over and over again, then I guess you can break out the party hats, because this film is a veritable butt-nanza. Who is [...]

We get a movie with “real” vampires and none of this “I sparkle in the sun and read minds” bullcrap. Daybreakers gives us a world full of vampires who drink human blood, can’t walk in the sunlight, and who have a truly monstrous vampire nature. They don’t have reflections and they don’t have any [...]

Kindergarten Cop (KC) opens with the scruffy John Kimble (Arnold), a tough police detective, following the baddie, Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson), around a mall. A few minutes later he is busting up into a ritzy salon pointing a gun in Crisp’s face while the shmuck is trying to get a manicure. Who knew getting a mani/pedi was a crime?
