Jet Li crossing dimensions to murder himself while an underpowered Jason Statham tracks him down in order to prevent him becoming a god and ruling all of time and space. No, it’s not an awesome dream, it’s a film, that actually happened, and it friggin’ rocked! Last Updated: August 22, 2012
Lee Daniels went from making a straight to DVD Cuba Gooding Jr movie (who hasn’t?) to making a big awards splash with Precious (based on the novel Push by Sapphire – I think I’m legally obligated to add that every time).

Beautifully crafted and wonderfully acted, it was one of my highlights of 2009 (You know, when I wasn’t busy contemplating suicide). Which is why I’ve had my eye on his next film Lawless ever since I …
My love for Joe Johnston’s 1991 adaptation of The Rocketeer is right up there in the stratosphere. It had an amazing pulpy feel and sported a great cast: A fresh faced Billy Campbell under the gold helmet, Alan Arkin as his reliable mechanic, a young John Locke before he got lost on that island, an even younger Jennifer Connelly before DarrenAronofsky made …
