Look, I can see that you think you know me. But I don't know who you are. My name is Captain Colter Stevens.Any movie wrought for your own theory usually has potential to become a masterpiece in my eyes, and even though "Source Code" might not be perfect with the little things, its opened-discussion c...more

Fly now with me, my brothers, sisters. And we will show the sky people that they cannot take whatever they want. And that this--THIS IS OUR LAND!For those who own a Blu-ray player, and are absolute movie geeks, will praise this extended collector's edition because of the way it focuses in on the making of the triumph "Avatar" is. Those interes...more

It's a bold, hilarious, dramatic and heartfelt mixture of awesomeness captured on celluloid which not only continues the Coen's tradition of excellence, but blazes a trail of greatness for future Westerns to follow.(Reviewer's Note: This part of the review is my theatrical review which was posted before the the movie's release in December. I did watch the movie again on Blu-ray, although my thoughts on t...more

The things I liked in I Am Number Four, I liked a lot, while the same could be said for the things I disliked. The result is an average-to-decent movie that could have been so much better.I have been a fan of director D.J. Caruso since his first feature, the wonderful and sadly underseen/underrated drama The Salton Sea. I really enjoyed his last feature, Eagle Eye, which was a ...more

Fans of Green Day will cherish this live-album, which surprisingly surpasses their 2005 concert CD/DVD, "Bullet in a Bible" by a long-shot.It’s the last night on Earth, live in Tokyo, Japan and boy is full of quick, green energy for the hardcore fans of the very popular punk-rock band, Green Day. Being a fan of Green Day for as l...more

Overall, when one considers that this film was viewed as a pariah during the go-go 1980s, it is excellent to see that opinions have swung wildly the other way.On the face of things, Raging Bull tells the story of middleweight boxing champion Jake La Motta. We see him battle various boxers in the ring, win a lot, not go down when the mob wants him to...more

You will really appreciate how ahead of its time the original Tron was, and how truly stunning Tron: Legacy is all in one package with this jam-packed five-disc set.This mammoth five-disc set contains Tron: Legacy Blu-ray, Tron: Legacy 3D Blu-ray, Tron: Legacy DVD, Tron: The Original Classic Blu-ray and a Digital Copy disc. To start, here's my review of T...more

... It's a picture that will (and should) revolt most viewers; make people chuck their copy into the fire. But there's something to be said about a film that makes you feel that way...What can be said about a film which disregards all levels of morality? That tears and mutilates all aspects of taste and decency? That wallows in its own cinematic filth and grime, chuckling a...more

The world ended. Didn't you get the memo?Oh man, where to start... firstly, I suppose it would be good to note the aesthetic value of The Walking Dead. We've seen zombies done before, many times, but we haven't seen zombies done with this am...more

Lois (Princess Leia): Aren't you a little fat to be a stormtrooper? Chris (Luke Skywalker): Well, stay here and rot, you stuck-up bitch!Definitely the first half of this trilogy, meaning all of Blue Harvest, and half of Something, Something, Something Dark Side. It seemed like that was when the best jokes occurred, and didn't fall bac...more

Congrats to the seven year-old who's made his big-break in Hollywood, getting his first script straight-to-DVD. Your gonna go no where, kid!I didn't actually buy the DVD for the film, so I don't actually know if the special-features are worth the buy, but, I have seen a couple of the extras online and I can't say they're actually w...more

It is honestly one of the best movies I've seen this year, with the blend of indie spirit and big-ticket entertainment that I can only hope will be replicated in the coming years.It would be easy for an actress like Gemma Arterton to pick another route in her young but already successful career. Yes, she has starred in big-budget blockbusters like Clash of the Titans a...more

She's Out of My League is worth a watch among friends or for an evening in with a date.Kirk (Jay Baruchel) is a lovable loser. He's a nerd with not much going for him so of course the gorgeously hot Molly (Alice Eve) is smitten by him. Well, his friends, all of which seem to be ...more

A cool breeze of ocean air followed by a cold, hard slap of salt water, Killers is full of neat action scenes, and some great comedic moments. Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl have made a sleeper hit that offers up a lot of unexpected fun.This is a dumb, colorful spy thriller that doesn’t carry much dramatic weight. Its throwaway fun sold at an accelerated rate, so if you’ve come looking for an intelligent endeavor, you’re d...more

I do give it points for at least feigning an attempt at originality.In Tim Burton's telling of Alice In Wonderland, an older Alice goes back down the rabbit hole so she can find out why she entered this world in the first place. While there she comes across th...more
