Mini Review: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010)

Action Flick Chick | July 19, 2010

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice starts off making Balthazar (Nicholas Cage) look like a creepy pedophile. Good job guys! Don’t worry folks, this is not that kind of movie, and Balthazar mostly shakes off the creepy vibe pretty quickly.

Balthazar is a really old sorcerer who has spent many years looking for “the one.” Only this time he [...]

Predators (2010)

Action Flick Chick | July 18, 2010

Predators is one spine-rippingly fun movie! Eight people are dropped from airplanes onto a foreign planet. None of them remember anything about how they got there but realize that the one thing most of them have in common is their expertise in killing. They band together to hunt for the truth, only to find that [...]

Coming Attraction: Inception (2010)

Action Flick Chick | July 5, 2010

Christopher Nolan directs the sci-fi thriller Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This film looks like it might actually be worth seeing it in an IMAX theater because it looks disorienting and amazing.The film’s story centers around technology that has the capability to place one person in another person’s mind through dreams.

Which Star Wars Film Makes the Best Action Movie? (thanks to David Reddick, Nathan Hamill, and all who took part)

Llama Mama | March 28, 2010

Not so long ago in a twitpic not too far away, Nathan Hamill introduced the first of several Star Wars/Action Flick Chick mash-ups. When @ActionChick commented on a different pic he’d put together (see “J2-H2″) featuring a droid-headed Jabba the Hut and Princess Leia in her famous “brass bikini,” Nathan turned around and created her the image that fulfilled many [...]

Coming Attraction: Tron Legacy

Odds are that if you’re around my age, you’re not too familiar with Tron, or its upcoming sequel, Tron Legacy. Well, I’ll be honest and say that I wasn’t especially interested in the new film. Until now. Watch the trailer and enjoy!

Tron Legacy comes out Dec. 17, and yeah, it looks absolutely awesome.
It’s missing something [...]

The Matrix (1999)

Action Flick Chick | February 8, 2010

MATRIX

Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) is being inducted into the “Chicks Who Don’t Want Flowers for Valentine’s Day” club for her sheer, mind-blowing awesomeness. The Matrix opens with Trinity kicking a ton of cop ass and then escaping from Agent Smith. That’s how I like my movies to start: a hot woman being a total badass! Yowsa!

The [...]

I would like for someone to answer me one question: How in the world did Legion manage to snatch up so many known actors? Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Charles S. Dutton, Tyrese Gibson, and Kate Walsh?

James Cameron’s Avatar (2009)

So I finally went to see Avatar. Why do I have suddenly want to revisit FernGully? Hmm, that’s weird and completely unrelated I’m sure. Anyway, the plot of Avatar is… you know what? Just watch the trailer.

Dances with Avatar: Star Wars, Pocahontas, FernGully Movie Mash-Ups

Action Flick Chick | December 21, 2009

So if you recast Avatar’s Smurfs with The Return of the Jedi’s Ewoks, is this what you get?

Star Wars isn’t the only film or film series Avatar is finding itself compared to. How about Walt Disney’s Pocahontas?

Or, as I note in my review, I kept feeling like I was watching Fern Gully: The Last Rain [...]

2012 (2009) Spoilers Galore!

Action Flick Chick | November 15, 2009

2012-picture

I can think of about 2,012 reasons why you shouldn’t watch 2012, but I will spare you the full list for right now. The whole “end of the world will happen in 2012” mostly came about because the Mayan Long Count calendar ends in December of 2012. So is this going to be another Y2K scare or will the Earth really end? Who cares, but in the movie 2012, the earth really gets effed up and a metric butt-ton of people die.

Surrogates summary in 21 words:

This isn’t an action film or comedy. The plot is interesting in theory but poorly executed. It was okay, not great.
End of summary. Thank you, thank you.

I just witnessed possibly the greatest tragedy I have seen in any motion picture: The woman with the three boobs was shot…and killed. Noooooooooooooooooo! I can’t believe it. Ohh, the humanity! Let’s all just take a moment of silence to remember our great friend… Triple Nipple Girl.
