I'm an avid watcher of films and I just love discussing and sharing them with the world. I enjoy horror, sci-fi and mostly any genre under the sun, plus I have a slight obsession with Blu-ray's and the whole high definition craze.
There's bad and then there's Project X bad. How a movie this mean and offensive to our youth even got made is beyond me. It's a celebration of all that is wrong with society and yet it still has its entertaining moments. Watch it with your brain off and lots of alcohol content in your drink.
Jeff, Who Lives at Home is a touching dramedy that'll send you home satisfied. Ed Helms and Jason Segel provide two equally dramatic and comedic performances and The Duplass Brothers keep the film character driven and quick.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a rare sequel that manages to outdo the previous entry. Guy Ritchie recaptures the magic on display by Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is completely ludicrous, but still worth at least one viewing, if only for Nic Cage's energetic performance and Neveldine/Taylor's outlandish filmmaking. The Blu-Ray only amplifies all of the above.
Machine Gun Preacher is a well-directed, starred and scripted film about a troubled and unlikable person that really never sticks. The Blu-Ray is of the same mediocre quality.
Act of Valor isn't a movie; it's a 2 hour commercial for the SEALs. It's full of action, but you'll have to search elsewhere for an actual story with well written characters.
Mel Gibson has been having a bit of trouble lately trying to release films. Instead of laying low and waiting for his publicity stunts to blow over he's decided to star in the controversially titled Get the Gringo. It looks like another over-the-top action role that just might be his ticket out of the dog house.
The second season of the much acclaimed Spartacus will be available to own later this year, with tons of features in a neatly packaged set on DVD and Blu-Ray. The show, which stars Liam McIntyre and Lucy Lawless, has been described as Gladiator and 300 combined, but with more sex and violence.
Guy Pearce stars in Lockout, the latest Luc Besson produced action flick that consists of a ridiculous plot and some over-the-top acting. Lockout looks and feels like a poor man's Escape from New York, but the reality is it's much worse.
