Chronicle (2012)

Chronicle (2012)

An amazing journey into the lives of 3 very realistic teenage boys during a year in High School. Chronicle is the story of Andrew Detmer (Dane Dehaan), Matt Garetty (Alex Russell) and Steve Montgomery (Michael B. 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.

When I saw Rise of The Planet of The Apes two things came to mind; the first is my dislike for pets, people owning pets and their defense in calling these cage beasts “family members”...

Immortals (2011)

Immortals (2011)

A visual masterpiece that will only pale due to the fact that we saw this style before in 300; Immortals looks like another world or dreamscape rather than a historical depiction of earth or mythology. It is a graphic novel come alive with an attractive cast of good guys and horribly scarred and ugly bad guys. If you go into Immortals with the expectation of...
