Green Lantern (2011): Give It Money So DC Will Make a Better Sequel!

Action Flick Chick | June 20, 2011

Superheroes: We cover our cheekbones so no one will recognize us! I think Green Lantern is the first film to acknowledge just how silly it is that just because a superhero has a tiny mask on, no one they know will ever be able to recognize them. Uh oh, I can’t recognize my child I’ve [...]

Spoiler Free Super 8 (2011): What Is That Thing?

Action Flick Chick | June 13, 2011

Jump in your time machine and go back to 1979 when there were no iPads or even cell phones! This was also the time when movies were filmed by using Super 8 cartridges (a roll of 8mm wide film,) instead of the all digital route. Hmmm, sounds like a lot more work. I think I [...]

X-Men: First Class (2011): Surprisingly Good!

Action Flick Chick | June 6, 2011

One thing you can always count on from an X-Men movie is that you will leave the theater wishing you had superpowers and/or trying to move things with your mind. X-Men: First Class is no exception. So go ahead and get out that box of pencils or line up your mugs, but I’ll tell you [...]

Priest (2011): Repent Least You Be Eaten by a Vampire!

Action Flick Chick | May 19, 2011

Having to pay extra just to watch a film in 3D really lights my ass on fire! I hate it! Why should I have to pay 2 or more extra dollars for a pair of glasses that I have 50 pairs of at home? Even if the extra money is not for the glasses, even [...]

Thor (2011): Will You Be Thunderstruck?

Action Flick Chick | May 8, 2011

Thor is one film where I will complain that the lead guy did not spend enough time with his shirt off! I usually don’t fawn over the handsome men in films (unless it’s 300 or Jason Statham), but holy pepperoni pizza Hemsworth is an attractive, ripped dude. Good work!

Marvel Studios has started the summer off [...]

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2011) – Dead on Arrival?

Action Flick Chick | May 2, 2011

I would like to clarify something: Dylan Dog: Dead of Night sucks as an action film! Don’t get confused by its label of ‘action comedy horror’ film, because it ain’t action,  and it’s not all that much of a comedy horror. It’s mostly a paint-by-the-numbers detective story.
Dylan Dog (Brandon Routh) is a private investigator of [...]

Sucker Punch (2011)

Action Flick Chick | March 29, 2011

When I first heard about Sucker Punch, I thought it looked great. And I was right, it looked great, but it was not a great movie. Set in the 1950s, Baby Doll (Emily Browning) is sent to a mental institution by her stepfather after her mother dies. There she is scheduled to have a lobotomy [...]

Mini Review: Game of Death (2010)

Action Flick Chick | March 4, 2011

Game of Death sounds like a game I wouldn’t really want to play, but thankfully, it’s a movie, not a real game, and one you might want to watch. Starring Wesley Snipes as CIA Agent Marcus, this film keeps the action steady throughout the film. Marcus infiltrates an arms dealer operation and becomes the head [...]
