There seems to be two basic trains of thought on this movie among the different reviews I have read. No one, at least not many that is I would say, would argue that this is a great movie, however, camp one says almost in unison that Righteous Kill is at worst a bad movie made decent by the two greatest living actors of theirs or … Continue reading Righteous Kill Review
“Intelligence is Relative” Ah, those whacky Coen Brothers. They’ve done it again. Burn After Reading’s plot is such a cooked up, convoluted, utterly confusing, overly complicated and in many ways brilliant one that to reveal all the parts of it would be at once both counterproductive and, just downright hard to do in fact. I think the quote that bests sums it up was delivered … Continue reading Burn After Reading Review
(spoiler warning – this review may contain slight spoilers) If there was to be one word to describe Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson it would be this: addict. He is an intense abuser of alcohol and several different kinds of drugs, both recreational and otherwise, but that is not what I am talking about here. Robin Ramzinski, which is The Ram’s real name in the movie, … Continue reading The Wrestler Review
Hello everyone and welcome to the first in my series of reviews chronicling the James Bond movie franchise. Seeing as this is the first installment of this new project of mine I suppose now would be the opportune time to lay down the general modus operandi for all of you, my general audience. Over the Christmas holidays last year I was able to view most … Continue reading Dr. No Review

I did not see the original theatrical cut, and thus cannot really say a whole lot about the differences here and whatnot, so please forgive me in … Continue reading Terminator Salvation Review
The Expendables is an easy movie to pick apart, if one were of a mind to do so, on several structural levels. However, this reviewer does not feel the need to do so. I for one like movies that aren’t ashamed of what they are, and also, movies that don’t pretend to be more than what they are either. The Expendables is a prime example … Continue reading The Expendables Review
“Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while that you shouldn’t have fucked with? That’s me.” – Clint Eastwood as Walt Kowalski Clint Eastwood is not just an actor, he is an American institution. If they ever make a place on Mount Rushmore for iconic badasses his mug should be the first one etched up there, that is, if they can find … Continue reading Gran Torino Review
On the hot and humid night of July 22nd, 1934, John Dillinger was sitting pretty watching a gangster flick at the Biograph theatre in Chicago, Illinois, enjoying what must have been an all too rare moment of relaxation. It would be the last such moment in his brief but fascinating life, and also the final film he would ever get to see, as when he … Continue reading Public Enemies Review
“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll … Continue reading Taken Review
