Fantastic Four To Be Nullified

Fantastic Four To Be Nullified

I wasn’t a huge fan of both Fantastic Four films. In fact, the only redeeming quality of both films was Michael Chiklis being the pitch-perfect Ben Grimm. Otherwise, they spat in the face of Galactus, took Dr. Doom’s lunch money and took Silver Surfer’s girlfriend (literally.) Aside from also ripping off Ghostbusters at the end [...]

Watchmen Movie Review

Watchmen Movie Review

(NOTE – I reserve the right to change my final grade or anything in this review. I want to have time for this film to settle in and I’m taking this film very personally as I have a huge love for the graphic novel. Consider this review a work in progress.)

New Wanted Clip

New Wanted Clip

What else can you say about Wanted? It has Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, and James McAvoy. This film has some big names but it based upon a graphic novel, better known as a comic book. And from the featurette going around the net, it seems its spot on to the novel. The action scenes [...]

The Incredible Hulk – why must there be issues?

The Incredible Hulk – why must there be issues?

What is it about the Incredible Hulk that always seems to cause issues? The first movie came out in 2003 directed by Ang Lee and was considered a box-office bust. Why? The style of the movie was considered too slow by most and the fact that your main character of the HULK isn’t seen till [...]
