The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) – Well, it was fifty years ago that Stan Lee and Steve Ditko brought Spider-Man into the world. It was ten years ago that Sam Raimi brought the character to the big screen. It’s only been five years since Spider-Man 3 stank up cinemas and some say that’s far too soon … Continue reading →

The Help (2011) – Film trailers are problematic. Sometimes they seriously undersell a movie. I thought Fight Club looked asinine but it was amazing. Sometimes the trailers are put together better than the movie itself. Look up the trailer for the bizarre clusterfuck Southland Tales and tell me it doesn’t look awesome? Sometimes the trailer tries … Continue reading →

Maybe every generation hears that about the younger one. I don’t know. FIRST REVIEW … Continue reading →

Zombieland (2009) — SECOND REVIEW [Blu-Ray]: This movie is pretty much tailor-made for me. As many times as I’ve seen a nun crushing a zombie with a falling piano (in addition to the two times I’ve seen the movie it was in every single ad) I have never failed to laugh out loud.
