You know how oftentimes men won’t communicate with their words, and instead will just give a look, or a nod, or a hand gesture, and the other man just ‘gets’ it.

Often when a wrestler is in a movie, they’re usually the worst actor in the film. 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 [...]

Have all the stories in the world been told already? 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 [...]

Watching Hanna and expecting a blood-soaked action movie is like watching softcore porn when you are expecting hardcore porn. 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 [...]

MACGRUBER!!!! 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.
