Rating systems are pesky little devils. I know studios think that by lowering a rating more people will be able to see your movie, but is it still the same movie? Let me get it out of the way first by saying that in no way can things like swearing, sex, blood and violence replace the power of a good …
See that “Frankenstein” in the title above? Ignore it. Forget you ever even read it. Because despite what that title tells you, along with the official blurb you will find down below, Fox’s new sci-fi drama The Frankenstein Code has practically nothing to do with Mary Shelley’s classic Promethean tale.

Avengers 2.5 Captain America: Civil War is shaping up to be one hell of a movie.

And with that many people on-screen, and with the film supposedly setting up the massive universe rearranging battles to come …

The first two seasons managed to captivate me in a way only a few other …
Old action heroes never die, they just end up in prison. It happened to Stallone & Schwarzenegger in Escape Plan, and now it’s Dolph Lundgren’s turn in Riot. And here we all thought they were expendable. Anyway here’s the synopsis of the ridiculous-sounding plot, but we’ve never watched a B-action movie for the story now have we? Copper Jack Stone …
TV series adaptations of famous movies have a track record wobblier than the first episode of a season The Biggest Loser. For every awesome Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Stargate SG-1, Fargo and M*A*S*H*, we we get Timecop… and actually, Timecop is the only example I need; it’s crap enough for all the other crap shows. And now another famous sci-fi …
