GRADE: 1 out of 5 I so wanted to like GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE but sadly it stinks worse than the first film. I wished I’d burst into flame during screening because I’m sure that would’ve been a sweet release. Visually, I think it’s an improvement, the 3D FX is fun, and I was [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 Finally! A Valentine’s season movie that guys, who don’t care much for mushy lovey-duvey things, can also enjoy! THIS MEANS WAR is a blast! Chris Pine and Tom Hardy provide the action, and America’s sweetheart Reese Witherspoon provides the rom-com, with funnygirl Chelsea Handler who gets A+ in my book [...]

GRADE: 1 out of 5 I was hoping that this would be mindless adventurous trip but sitting through JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND was tough because its compiling a bunch of fantasy legends into one movie is as disastrous as League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I’d call this movie, JOURNEY 2: THE RINDONKULOUS ISLAND because everything [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 I’ve got two words for CHRONICLE: Super Cool! What a fantastic film! So much fun! The three characters on the screen havin’ a blast with their superpowers and we the audience get to have a blast with them, CHRONICLE is that engaging! I’m not too crazy about found footage or [...]

GRADE: 2 out of 5 What is the plot on this one?! Seriously because UNDERWORLD AWAKENING is just straight up action and 3D and VFX, no more no less and I must admit, some of the sequences especially the part of Selene vs. one gigantic lycan, is mildly exciting, much thanks to the 3D, and [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 Director Steven Soderbergh doing an action flick starring a real MMA fighter, what is there not to like about HAYWIRE?! Plus it’s written by Lem Dobbs who gave us Soderbergh’s old great film, The Limey. You want another reason to like HAYWIRE? How ’bout this, the supporting actors are A-list [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 REAL STEEL was everything that Transformers movies could not offer me. Just as I said in my review last August, I found REAL STEEL to be rock ‘em sock ‘em awesome. It was not a perfect action film and I think the father and son drama could be less formulaic, [...]

GRADE: 1 out of 5 It’s one thing to make a project to help christen a rising star in action genre, it’s another if that project was poorly made and some of us had to endure the torture of watching the entire thing. And I thought the experience may be a bit bearable on blu-ray, [...]

GRADE: 1 out of 5 This isn’t going to take much time. THE DARKEST HOUR is extremely bad, it’s terrible. It’s a poorly written, poorly acted, poorly directed sci-fi film with unexceptional VFX, that sucked its way into theaters only because it’s produced by Timur Bekmambetov who brought you Night Watch, Day Watch, and Wanted…

GRADE: 2 out of 5 And 2011′s movie for the easily amused is.. SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS. I thought the previous movie was enjoyable because it presented Sherlock Holmes in a new, refreshing, and renaissance form, a man with many skills, but watching him do his business again in the sequel is a [...]
