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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So [...]

Think about it. One guy decides to jump out of the train’s cab and then can’t get back in, making several cities in danger. Ooopsie! I’m sorry?

I’m just going to come out and say it: Thankskilling is bad, bad, bad. How bad was it? It was so bad that I thought it was my lucky day when it ended after only 66 minutes. So bad [...]

I’m pretty freakin’ pumped about this show. As far as I know, it is the first TV series focused on a [...]
