We picture the west in vast panoramas, great big blue skies, open prairies, with miles upon miles of amazing, yet challenging and often life threatening terrain, symbolizing opportunity and risk, the “Manifest Destiny” of the 19th century and the quintessential “American Dream” of the 20th century, all punctuated by a booming Elmer Bernstein soundtrack and… Continue reading A Million Ways To Die In The West Review

The Monuments Men Review
Richard Roeper, who you may remember as the former television partner of the late Roger Ebert of ‘Ebert and Roeper’ fame, writes in his review of ‘The Monuments Men’ that this is a “solid albeit slow building film with few dull moments.” I like to imagine if Roger were still alive (and never lost his… Continue reading The Monuments Men Review
You’re Next Review
I had been hearing about this film for quite some time. Having made its run of the festival circuits in 2011 to a pretty good response I was surprised to see it take close to two years to get it's theatrical release. Though with Wingard and Barrett's involvement with the well received horror anthology V/H/S/,… Continue reading You’re Next Review

Long story short, a specially trained commando team (which includes Rodriguez) is sent in by Umbrella to… Continue reading Resident Evil Review
Sleepwalkers Review
What a painfully bad movie this is. Who wrote this crap? Stephen King took credit for this? You’re kidding me? The same guy that wrote shit like Misery, The Shining, Carrie, and The Green Mile? What did who do wrong here? Basically what we have, is these two people, a mother and son. Only they… Continue reading Sleepwalkers Review
The Pacifier Review
Vin, Vin, Vin, Vin. What were you thinking? You’re an action guy. You blow shit up. It’s all good to try and do comedy, because comedy kicks ass, but…this was…not good. Diesel stars as Lt. Shane Wolfe, a Navy SEAL trained to fight in the most dangerous and impossible situations known to man. So imagine… Continue reading The Pacifier Review
The Words Review
Here’s a fact I defy anyone to challenge. No movie, television show, book or any other piece of fictional entertainment containing a main character named “Rory” has ever been any good. I will personally shake the hand of anyone who can find evidence to convince me otherwise. (Provided said person is willing to pay for… Continue reading The Words Review
Pathfinder Review
Besides the subpar acting, one thing stood out as the downfall of what could have and should have been a wonderful movie- the directing. So I wasn’t too surprised when I looked up Marcus Nispel on the Internet Movie Database and found that the only thing he’d ever directed was music videos; and boy does… Continue reading Pathfinder Review
Eastern Promises Review
After a mysterious girl dies giving birth in a London hospital, Anna Khitrova (Watts) discovers the girl’s diary and tries to use it to find the newborn baby’s relatives. Naturally, it is written in Russian so Anna cannot understand it, but her uncle can, and despite his warnings to stay away, she goes off to… Continue reading Eastern Promises Review
