Stallone still proves a good action performance doesn't get tiring when he returns for his second famous role (the other being Rocky) of John Rambo. Although, the movie in all honesty is just another action entry in the Rambo series, this one is actually done more realistically, and it touches on a very serious issue. In "Ram... More..

The original Star Trek show has pretty much returned with a vengeance. While this new film is a true box-office contender, it loses some of the magic from the original TV series, and takes it much farther than you ever thought it could.

What can I say about the movie "Juno"? Well, I would begin with the fact that I fell in love with Ellen Page after I saw her in "X-Men: The Last Stand".
