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...

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.

Conan The Barbarian (2011)

Conan The Barbarian (2011)

­­ While the story of Conan The Barbarian in this Marcus Nispel version cannot hold a candle to the John Milius original starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, it doesn’t mean that on its own it isn’t a good movie. The problem with rehashing anything is the inevitable and misleading comparisons that are done whenever critique is asked. That being said I should...
