Movie Review: Furious 7
A movie like Furious 7 has a special sort of appeal. It is a formulaic thrill-ride plain and simple. Furious 7 is directed by James Wan who is far more famous for his horror films, Saw (2004), Insidious (2010), and The Conjuring (2013), than anything involving high-performance vehicles racing at insane speeds. Yet I can’t help but applaud a valuable franchise that decides to bring in new blood sho...[Read More]
Movie Review: Hercules
Thankfully, Hercules is not an origin film. Though it is about the titular hero from Greek myth, The Legend of Hercules (2014) from earlier this year already took that approach so it is just as well. Here, the fabled strong-man (Dwayne Johnson) has already performed all but one of his legendary labors when the story opens. The newHercules was directed by Bret Ratner of Rush Hour (1998) fame and X-...[Read More]
Movie Review: G.I. Joe: Retaliation
As one of the seemingly few people who unabashedly enjoyed G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) and thought it should have been more successful than it was, I doubted that a sequel would ever happen. So it was a pleasant surprise when I heard that a sequel was actually on the way. When the first trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation came out, it was way more impressive-looking than I had expected, and I...[Read More]

Trailer Trashin’: Super Bowl XLVII Movie Spot Roundup!
Well, another Super Bowl has come and gone – congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens on their victory, and good job to the San Francisco 49ers, too. But for people like me, who are cinephiles and not football fans, the main thing that the Big Game has to offer is the new TV spots for upcoming movies. This year, there were seven movie spots during Super Bowl XLVII, and on this week’s Trailer ...[Read More]

Movie Review: Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
You know you’re in for something odd when the commercials proudly show Dwayne Johnson bouncing a berry off his chest in the most gratuitous of 3D effects. What’s worse is when you find out this is actually the most entertaining scene of the whole movie. While for the most part the film is harmless, especially for kids, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island suffers from a lack of decent dialogue, gaping...[Read More]
Top 10 Film Performances by Professional Wrestlers
The inspiration for this list came from a few different sources. Somewhere between wondering what I could write about to further my geek cred and wondering how the recently announced remake of The Princess Bride would be able to top the iconic performance of Andre the Giant as Fezzik, the haze started to lift. What exactly are the top ten performances by professional wrestlers in film? Is creating...[Read More]
Movie Review: Fast Five
Fast Five, the fifth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise picks up right where the last one ended (okay, so just in case you need to be reminded of exactly where the last one left off), with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) getting liberated from his prison bus by Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) although we never actually see Dom escape. Cut to Rio de Janeiro...[Read More]
