The Avengers (2012)

The Avengers (2012)

Now isn’t this a movie filled with surprises. Who would’ve thought that of all the Avengers, The Incredible Hulk would be the one stealing the show? The beast had all but 2 lines in the movie, I think they were “grunt” and “roar” yet it was enough to make women want to have his green babies… okay maybe that’s...

The Raid: Redemption

The Raid: Redemption

Superb martial arts action, kickass music, and the right blend of violence and gore to solidify itself as a classic, The Raid: Redemption is one of the best action movies I have ever seen. While the movie is subtitled (stay with me here) and the film grade is a gritty patchwork of nostalgic, grindhouse flair, it is very artistic in the way that the...

Act of Valor (2012)

Act of Valor (2012)

War and the aspect of military brotherhood is not anything new for the big screen as there has been movie after movie that tried every angle to bring this across.

Jordan) as they discover ultimate power through telekenesis and become the closest of friends for it. But with great power comes great responsibility...

Haywire (2012)

Haywire (2012)

Shot with a gritty sepia toned look to give a very art house feel to the movie, Haywire works due to the direction of the great Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Che, etc.). Assisted by the great acting talents of Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Bill Paxton and Antonio Banderas (just to name a few), newcomer Gina Carano and Channing Tatum...

Aeon Flux (2005)

Aeon Flux (2005)

When Aeon Flux first came out in Box Office, I missed out on it and wondered at all the poor reviews it was receiving. The visuals looked amazing on the trailers and while Charlize Theron looked nothing like the animation that I loved, I was expecting her to kill the role being that she has always been a fine actress in other movies. Why do people hate Aeon...
