Originally, we didn’t think Cruise would be returning for Mission Impossible 4. It was reported earlier that he was looking for a role as a producer, rather than an actor. Plus he has all that time he spend on the church of Scientology. Anyway, turns out he is coming back to Mission Impossible 4, playing [...]

If you are looking for suspension of disbelief, the February lineup of movies is not going to disappoint. The fantasy and horror lineup for February offers everything from epic wars of the gods to … well … a bunch of spoiled rich kids slowly freezing to death on a ski lift. You may laugh now, [...]

There are two big action hits opening this weekend:Legion, the controversial look at a biblical apocalypse, and The Tooth Fairy, which is about a hockey star being forced to serve as a tooth fairy to make up for all those teeth he knocked out. So, on one hand we have epic wars between angels and [...]

February. The month of love. What better way to celebrate the month of hearts, flowers, and cupid than shooting the crap out of everything in the area. February has a lot of action movies coming up, and no small portion of them are crime dramas and other cop related action fests. So, if you are [...]

Not every movie benefits from an endless stream of advertisements injected directly into your eyeballs. Some movies survive merely off of word of mouth and good reputation. Sure, the blockbusters in January look decent enough, but the New Year brings us a bunch of movies that will probably slip under the radar as well. Maybe [...]

Welcome to Part 3 of our aggregation of everything we know about Avatar. In the recent months, we’ve had a flood of new information about the setting and plot and from our pov, it’s about damn time. There’s so much information in the media at this point that it’s almost too much to sift through. [...]

Part 2 of our massively obsessive supercomputing sci-fi nerd look into James Cameron’s Avatar. Today we look at the terrifying but beautiful ecosystem of Pandora. Did I say beautiful? No, I meant just plain old terrifying. Come on, this planet has giant sky jellyfish! Pandora also has the native population called the Na’vi who differ [...]

For the longest time no one knew anything about James Cameron’s Avatar other than it was going to be a huge 3-D spectacular and … OK, actually that’s all anyone knew. However, in recent months we have had a flood of new information about the setting and plot, and from our POV, it’s about damn [...]

Amidst the huge blockbuster releases coming out this holiday season, there are smaller movies that may be able to luck themselves into getting a word in edgewise over the Avatar hype. Oh, they are big in their own right. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of explosions, shootings, and other intense action to go [...]

What do you want for christmahanakwazaka little boy? Is it a movie? Is it a blockbuster movie? Is it one of the movies that Hollywood has been promising us for ages and still hasn’t delivered on!? That’s what we are asking for. This December, our theaters are going to be filled with movies that we [...]

After a long October of horror movies, horror movies, and more horror movies, it’s nice to get some balance back into our movie routine. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to get that balance because November has been the subject of no small amount of movie release date chaos. November movies have been delayed, pushed forward, [...]

Law Abiding Citizen — In Theaters October 16th

Faithful to one of the most enduring action movie cliches, Gerard Butler plays a man who’s had everything taken away from him so he gets his revenge on everyone, in every way, even though he is locked up and in prison. That, and there appear to be plenty [...]

We may have gotten all of the movie monsters and serial murderers out of our systems with traditionally spooky October, but thrillers extend way beyond plain old horror movies. Unfortunately, in October, any sort of thriller is dwarfed by the big horror releases. Hell, even if your October is abnormally dry in terms of horror, [...]

So maybe horror isn’t your thing. Maybe supernatural ghoulies and crazed axe murderers are simply way too out there for you. Perhaps we can interest you in a nice crime drama then? Fall is the time when the skies get grey, the trees die, and everything becomes a bit gloomier. What better time to litter [...]

I’ll admit, I’ve been dancing around this subject for a while because its not pleasant. It’s a combination of the horror genre’s best practices and worst trends. It swears that it has a message and meta-plot even though neither has become apparent at this point. It’s made you afraid of the most mundane things even [...]
