Review: Wrath of the Titans
Clash of the Titans has become infamous for it’s terrible 3D conversion and it was a pretty terrible movie by itself. Can Wrath of the Titans improve on it or should the franchise be as dead as the Krakken?
Review: The Hunger Games
Should you throw your money onto the truck load The Hunger Games has already made or is it just for fans of the book?
Review: John Carter
Bombing at the box office this weekend, John Carter isn’t a terrible movie. It has some great special effects and action but the plot and attempts to explain hundreds of pages of mythology bogs it down considerably.
Review: Act of Valor
Real Navy SEALs deal with a fake terrorist plot in Act of Valor; a movie that takes a lot of cues from Call of Duty and features some fantastic, realistic action sequences.
Review: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
The original Ghost Rider was a snoozefest with terrible special effects, a lame villain and a bored looking Nicolas Cage. What happens when the Cage is unleashed and Crank directors Neveldine/Taylor are behind the camera? You get the insane sequel, Spirit of Vengeance.
Review: Safe House
The always welcome bad ass side of Denzel Washington is in full effect in Safe House, which, while it doesn’t do anything original, is still a solid action movie.
Review: Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie
The absurdist comedy sketch duo from Adult Swim come back for their first feature length film. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly guest.
Review: Chronicle
Chronicle is a surprisingly great super hero/powers movie that doesn’t really benefit from being found footage but features great effects and a trio of well rounded protagonists.
Review: The Grey
The first great movie of the year, The Grey is a tense survival thriller with a surprising amount of emotional depth, despite what you might think from seeing the trailers.
Review: Haywire
Steven Soderbergh enters the action genre with Haywire, starring former American Gladiator and MMA fighter Gina Carano. As you might expect when you have an MMA fighter for your star, the fights are great, but what about the rest of the movie?
Review: Contraband
Mark Wahlberg stars as a master smuggler in Contraband but he should have smuggled a sense of fun and a script that wasn’t completely full of heist movie cliches.
