Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: The Transformers (2007): 4 of 104
First off, I'm not a fan of director Michael Bay and secondI'm not a fan of Michael Bay. His films are mindless exorcises in human endurance that are easily forgotten right after they've been watched. The few good parts of his films can never make up for the other two hours that I have to endure to get to those parts (can any... More..

Entertainment > Movie News & Previews Anticipating the theatrical release of Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End: 1 of 17
The first PIRATES was a welcomed relief of originality that had been extinct with much of the pirate films in the thirty years hence. It sparked new life in a genre that was dead (as opposed to the weatern which just hibernates from time to time). Great action sequences, brilliant performances not only from the main cast but ...

Entertainment > Movie Genres Top 10 werewolf movies: 1 of 15
The werewolf genre is the pariah of horror and monster films as that there are more bad ones then good ones and the good ones appear so seldom as to go unnoticed when originally released. Unlike the vampire genre, the werewolf genre finds it hard to reboot and/or throw away old conventions for something new and exciting, so, ... More..
Entertainment > Movie News & Previews Movie predictions: Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4): 1 of 13
The DIE HARD film franchise has long since been forgotten by modern film going audiences replaced by...well, it really hasn't been replaced by anything. There have been TOMB RAIDERS and BLADES and X-MENS but there have not been any original action film franchises that have made a difference like this one and its brethren (suc... More..
Entertainment > Movie News & Previews Anticipating the theatrical release of Sin City 2: 1 of 8
Not being a huge fan of the original SIN CITY there is no doubt that it was a technical achievement in both filmmaking and to the comic book to film sub-genre itself. The film is the only direct comic book to film yet attempted and there is both good points and bad points to that. Visually speaking SIN CITY is beyond reproach... More..

Entertainment > Movie News & Previews Movie rumors: Anticipating the sequel to Batman Begins: 2 of 11
Let me just say that BATMAN BEGINS is by far the best written of the current five films in the Warner Bros. franchise. Having said that let me also say that it has the benifit of there being four other films that came before it that much of what is presented in the latest film isn't entirely new or ground breaking. When direc... More..

There have been few serial killer films this year that warrant a glimpse Perfume, The Story of a Murderer and Zodiac and Behind the Mask are but a few, but with Mr. Brooks serial killers hit back harder then they have in some time.
