Would being immortal be a blessing or a curse? This is where I would usually say watch Immortals to find out, but no character in the film is actually immortal, so I guess you’ll have to speculate and imagine an answer for yourself. The name of the film is not totally misleading, though, since they [...]

A movie always gets bonus points when the first scene has a naked lady and then shortly after that you see a young Mel Gibson’s naked rear. Add a name like Lethal Weapon, a kickass costar like Danny Glover, and lines like “I’m too old for this sh**,” and you’ve got yourself a recipe for [...]

A pig’s fat, when burned, can produce the hottest fire of fires…at least the hottest fire you’ll find in medieval times. So if you need to collapse a castle full of people, zombies, or vampires, just dig a tunnel underneath like they did in Ironclad, trap 40 pigs and start a fire! Thanks Ironclad, now [...]

You know a movie is weird when the reel gets messed up and starts playing upside down and backwards, but everyone thinks it’s just part of the film! That’s exactly what happened at ActionFest during the first screening of Hobo with a Shotgun. Think about that!
What once started out as a fake trailer for Quentin [...]

Seth Rogen used to be a chubby little roly poly sort of man, but now he’s the Green Hornet! He’s all slim and looking good in his little green pimp suit. Good job, Rogen!
The Green Hornet is based on the tv show with the same name. Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) comes up with the idea [...]

The first weekend in January is often seen as the weakest weekend for opening films just because you still have the “amazing” end of year films in theater and a lot of people are looking to either save money after the holidays or go to the gym rather than be sedentary in a theater. So [...]

Tron: Legacy is one of the very few films that I would suggest watching in 3D. It looked amazing and the 3D was great. The Grid is meant to be seen in 3D, man, and in 3D, it shall be seen!
If you haven’t seen the first Tron, the sequel might be a little confusing plot [...]
