The Losers
Sylvain White has done a couple movies that I have turned away from due to disinterest. I don’t know whether Stomp The Yard was a hit or I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer but The Losers was a surprisingly enjoyable shoot-em-up. The merry band of professionals theme reminded me very much of older classics such as Delta Force, The A-Team and the original Inglorious... [Read more]

V showed signs off greatness this episode, as we get a bit of closure on a few topics along with pacing that was actually satisfactory.

Not knowing whether she should trust Ryan, she sought them out by herself... [Read more]

“Loss of a fight means death to a Samurai” In concept Chinese Super Ninja is a martial arts enthusiast’s dream come true. Here you have Kung Fu, the mother of all fighting forms going up against Ninjitsu, the most exotic of the fighting forms. Well concept is great but the execution… not so much. Ninjas representing the five elements holding down various... [Read more]
Kick-Ass
Two things you should do about Kick-Ass – First of all, go out and see Kick-Ass, second of all keep your young impressionable kids (especially the girls) as far away from this one as if it was a pedophile with candy in tow ducking from Chris Hansen. Kick-Ass to me was what you would get, if The Sopranos, Lazytown, Spiderman, and Revenge of The Nerds were blended together and reformed... [Read more]
News: The Movie Theater – Lasers, iPhones and Bare Feet
As a frequent movie watcher, it never dawned on me that there’s a huge host of people out there who love movies as much as I do, but would never step foot in a theater unless it was such a huge “must-see” that their natural urges let it pass. Reading some of the feedback on the theater question by fellow... [Read more]
V Recap 1.7 – John May
So little Tyler (Logan Huffman) is not the son of this new guy that was forced on us in the last episode huh? Does anybody care? Outside of Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) bawling her eyes out as her son ran away with Lisa (Laura Vandervoot), I’m not sure if this was supposed to be some huge deal or not. If there is anything that plagues the pacing and the writing for V, it is... [Read more]

She replies with an evil eye, “You have no idea”, and destroys a pyramid display... [Read more]
Chloe
Aside from seeing a little bit more of Julianne Moore’s body than I expected, Chloe did not offer many surprises outside of the standard for psycho stalker movies. Liam Neeson is excellent as he always is and Amanda Seyfried is a shapely beauty that stops your breath when on screen, playing the part of the prostitute Chloe. So what is this all about? Well David Stewart (Liam Neeson)... [Read more]
