One film I’m super excited about is The Hunger Games starring Jennifer Lawrence as the loveable Katniss Everdeen. Based on the book of the same name by Suzanne Collins, The Hungers Games is about Katniss, 16 year old girl who saves her sister by volunteering herself to be a contestant in the Hunger Games. The [...]

Have all the stories in the world been told already? Is there really nothing out there that is a new and original plot anymore? It feels like there isn’t with Hollywood putting out remake after remake and formulaic movies such as Colombiana.

In Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance he returns as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider and is called upon to fight the Devil who is trying to take human form. The film is directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, who directed Crank, so I’m hoping for some of [...]

“Change begins with a whisper.” -The Help I recently saw this movie based on this book. And, let me tell you – it was definitely worth it. When I first saw the trailer to this film, it really looked like a fun type of movie to watch. But, at the same time – it also [...]

Fright Night! Vampires and blood, blood and vampires! If a vampire movie doesn’t have tons of blood in it, it’s a piece of crap and I want no part of it. Thankfully, Fright Night has both and is quite a good little flick.

I know there are a lot of die hard original Conan fans out there, but I am not one of them. I love watching Arnold Schwarzenegger in an action film just as much as the next person, but I wouldn’t classify Conan the Barbarian (1982) as a true ACTION film. I have no nostalgia connected [...]

You might as well call Tomorrow, When the War Began the Australian version of Red Dawn…because that’s basically what it is. Now I’m not one of the people who grew up watching Red Dawn, so I don’t have any sense of nostalgia for it. Even though Red Dawn was a pretty good film, I actually [...]

Colombiana: It had me with “From the writers of Taken!” Whoo hoo, I love Taken so I’m blindly optimistic about Colombiana, staring Zoe Saldana, who is shaping up to be a pretty kick-ass action actress. In Colombiana, aA small child witnesses her parents’ murder so what does she do? Naturally, she grows up to be [...]
