Quality Assessment: Sherlock Holmes

Whereas Rob Marshall has become a bona fide *one trick pony* with the release of his musical Nine, Guy Ritchie has been happily living up to that term his whole directorial career. From his debut Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, to Snatch, to Revolver to Rock&Rolla, all of his movies have been a sort [...]

Quality Assessment: Ninja Assassin

There’s really not much to say about this movie. You know it doesn’t make much sense, there’s really no story or much acting require. But sweet Satan! if the amount of blood: buckets and buckets of stylized splashes and squirts of red heaven… doesn’t more than makes up for it all!  Anyone going to see [...]

Quality Assessment: 2012

For the record, the world isn’t going to end on 21 December 2012.  Something is definitely going to happen, something major that’s going to reverberate through the years, sort of like the butterfly effect.  It will not be the end of the world, not quite anyhow.  There’s going to be an *event* that’s going to [...]

Incoming: Prince of Persia-The Sands of Time

National Treasure+Pirates of the Caribean+The Mummy+a pinch of Alexander=Prince of Persia.
Wow, you can REALLY tell when a movie is from Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer can you not?
Every part of the sets, locations, etc., look pristine even the “dirty” places, the trailer attacks us with so much relentless action that has 0% real violence or even danger [...]

Incoming: Salt

This is the movie that was going to be a vehicle for Tom Cruise and then rewritten for Angeline Jolie….. and we the public are the winners of this switch.  Gotta say though, I don’t blame Tom for dropping out if that was the case, I mean it does resembles his Minority Report a bit [...]

Incoming: Black Dynamite

I saw the trailer for this wild romp of blaxploitation yesterday while watching “Bronson” and I just knew I had to share the trailer with y’all cuz this shit is funny!!

Quality Assessment: Surrogates

Just like Vampires and Zombies, the whole futuristic robots take over the world genre has become so generic and just maxed out in my opinion that all these movies just blurred into one another and they don’t really say anything new.  There has got to be a break,  a period of I don’t know (let’s [...]

Quality Assessment: Pandorum

This Dennis Quaid/Ben Foster vehicle is basically *The Descent* in space.  But it isn’t as gripping or scary or just plain awesome in that *I love horror movies way* but it isn’t terrible.  It is still watchable if only because of Ben Foster who I think is a brilliant actor who lately has been making [...]

Quality Assessment: Law Abiding Citizen

Last night I attended one of the worse organized screening I’ve ever gone to for Law Abiding Citizen.  We had to wait close to 2 hours after the advertise starting time, the theater’s air conditioning was either off or very low or maybe just set to “fan” and the movie was off center from the [...]
