I know there are a lot of die hard original Conan fans out there, but I am not one of them. I love watching Arnold Schwarzenegger in an action film just as much as the next person, but I wouldn’t classify Conan the Barbarian (1982) as a true ACTION film. I have no nostalgia connected [...]

Alex Langley of Rocket Llama and my business partner in crime has started a new blog about time travel. If you think you’re prepared for time travel, you’re wrong. There are so many things to screw up while time traveling, so you’d best be getting yourself a guide. Ye Olde Guide is a fun and [...]

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!

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 [...]

First off, I love the original Scream trilogy, especially the first one. So there is a part of me that is glad to see that there’s possibly another trilogy on the way even though there is absolutely NO NEED to have another film. The original Scream trilogy wrapped up so perfectly! But they did it [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
