‘Dirty Laundry’: Thomas Jane’s Love Letter to the Punisher

A lot can be said about the 2004 Punisher adaptation starting Thomas Jane and John Travolta with an awful haircut. The movie is a guilt pleasure for its revenge story that allows the good guy to basically be the not-so-good guy after his entire family was killed by Saint’s goons. The film is better than the laughable first attempt, and

Universal Premieres ‘Fast Five’ Teaser Trailer

So lets get this out of the way, the name is stupid. If you thought naming the fourth movie in your franchise Fast & Furious was kind of dumb, this takes the cake, by the time we finish with one or two more sequels there won’t be anything resembling the franchises’ original title left. With that said, check out the

Review: Star Trek

For the last seven years fans have been wondering how we’d recover from the disappointment that was Star Trek: Nemesis, the film that broke the even/odd scheme we’d come to rely on. For everything that J.J. Abrams has done right in Hollywood, had he done enough to take over one of the oldest and most beloved franchises in the industry?

Review: Fast & Furious

With both Paul Walker and Vin Diesel’s careers in somewhat of a freefall after ill-advised projects like Running Scared (which wasn’t half bad) and Babylon A.D. respectively, they both needed a return to the franchise that made them famous. In swoops Universal with a fourth entry in The Fast & The Furious series, stripping out the new cast employed in

Review: Quantum of Solace

As the first ever direct sequel in the 22 film James Bond franchise, and the second film in the reboot series that started with Daniel Craig’s debut as 007 in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace both impresses and disappoints. The impressive parts far outweigh the disappointments, however both sides of the coin need to be examined to fully see the

Review: The X Files: I Want to Believe

At the beginning of summer if someone were to ask me what would be the most disappointing film of the summer (thus far) I could have pretty much guaranteed the world “Man” or “Hulk” would have been in my answer, but not the single letter “X”, yet here we are, nearly done with the summer movie season and the shining

Review: Hellboy II: The Golden Army

More so than its predecessor, Hellboy II: The Golden Army is an arresting visual experience with a loose story centered on the titular character and the army of paranormal investigators at the BRPD. The influence of Guillermo del Toro on the franchise, lifted from the pages of Dark Horse comics, has brought it to a more mainstream audience and amplified
