2013 – The year of the White House. Or more accurately, the year of movies about terrorists trying to take over the White House, as director Roland Emmerich and star Channing Tatum’s White House Down went toe to toe with director Antoine Fuqua and star Gerard Butler’s Olympus Has Fallen. Personally, while I didn’t think either film was really spectacular, …

Be still my beating heart, Geralt and his shenanigans will be coming to the big screen sometime in 2017 and I am bursting with excitement, and fear. Fear they will cock it up… Let’s pretend they won’t and remember that although there is a curse placed on movies based on games this is in fact a movie based on the stories of Andrzej …

There’s a whole lot of nothing special out this week. Besides for the cold-war drama Bridge of Spies, everything else scores less than 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ugh, Star Wars has never seemed so far away. Bridge of Spies Tom Hanks stars as the American attorney tasked with negotiating the release of a U-2 spy plane pilot who was shot …

While I think the Noomi Rapace starring original The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was a bit more visceral, I was rather impressed with David Fincher’s 2011 English language remake starring Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig (the fact that I’m a gigantic Fincher fanboy obviously had nothing to do with this totally unbiased opinion… Obviously).

Clearly though, my opinion about movies is about as important as Alwynne’s opinions …

One of the best espionage dramas to come out of Britain in the last few years is the the spy show Spooks. The series focused on a group of MI-5 officers and ran for 10 seasons culminating with 6 million viewers tuning in for the finale back in 2011. And it would seem that that kind of viewership has prompted …

Dave Bautista, also known as the metaphor catching Drax the Destroyer, has offered some more insight into the next installment of the widely popular (and to many this was a huge surprise) Guardians of the Galaxy. Firstly, in an interview just a few days ago with Cinemablend Bautista said that in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 Drax was going to be even …

Every time I see something for 13 Hours, I have to remind myself that this is a Michael Bay movie. Sure the Baysplosion Master is well known for his almost pornographic love of the US military in his movies, but those slow-mo shots of choppers in front of sunsets are usually either preceded or followed by exploding robots or vapid …
