Underworld: Awakening – Perhaps the most telling statement I can make about the fourth installation of this particular franchise is this: one of the main characters – a police officer at that – employed either a Taurus Judge or Smith and Wesson Governor as his personal sidearm while dealing with … [...] Contagion [...] Conan the Barbarian (And he did not say the line, which is just about an unforgivable … [...] Walking Dead, Season Two [...] In Time [...] Hard Magic: Book I of the Grimnoir Chronicles [...] Cowboys & Aliens On a related note, is anyone else getting annoyed at how scenes portrayed in the trailers are not showing up in the actual movie any more? The, “Should we step in?” conversation in a trailer occurred nowhere … [...] Captain America: The First Avenger [...] Forget Me Not [...] Better than the second one, though “giant shapeshifting robots from outer space” was NOT the most implausible thing in the movie.… [...] One part Bourne trilogy, one part Conspiracy Theory, one part La Femme Nikita, one part Taken, mixed on HI for 105 minutes. … [...] Surprisingly good (not great) and very, very pretty. … [...] Super 8: One part Goonies, one part ET, one part Close Encounters of the Third Kind, one part Cloverfield, and one part Aliens… and a hell of a ride to boot, with big screen heartily recommended. … [...] X-Men: First Class [...] Thor [...] Atlas Shrugged, Part 1: Some parts of it dragged longer than I might have done (specifically the anniversary party scene and sex scene), and some things were a bit understressed in my opinion (specifically how irrationally depraved the looters were, and how they exhibited that behavior), but speaking as someone … [...] Sucker Punch [...] I Am Number Four [...]  |

– Yes, I know the government is going to show itself to be staffed and run by fear-driven, self-absorbed children should an emergency like that ever arise, and, yes, I know society is going to pretty much implode along the way; I do not watch movies for reality, and …
– While 
is probably the best shoe-filler we are going to find for Arnold Schwarzenegger this side of a time machine, I was left expecting significantly… more… when the movie ended. 
*: Just as Top Shot turned out to be nothing more than "Survivor with Guns", this show is turning into nothing more than "Days of Our Lives with the Occasional Undead Shambler"; the only reason I might continue watching is the last half of the last …
: Rather than take a rather imaginative concept, sit down, and think about it to develop a story surrounding it worthy of the originality, we instead are faced with a nearly-verbatim techno-Robin-Hood, complete with a rather convincing Sheriff of Nottingham portrayed by none other than 
– I am going to catch seven kinds of hell for writing this, and I feel kind of bad saying it at all, but 
– Precisely as advertised… have your “I believe” button handy. 
– Personally, I found the copy-pasting of Chris Evans’ face onto a smaller body to be remarkably disturbing, especially how it did not seem to be scaled at all, but those 30 minutes of the movie aside, this will probably go down as one of …
: A predictable, plodding remake of a beaten-to-death story concept that probably got its birth in an original

: Take the concept that Norse mythology Asgardians are superhuman aliens from across the galaxy, multiply it by some of the best computer graphics I have seen in a while, and throw in some semi-decent one-liners, and the end result is that you should definitely see this at some …
: I have absolutely no problems admitting to a healthy mancrush on Vin Diesel, but combined with a return to the basics that made the 
: Two parts 
, two parts 
, one part 
, five parts face-melting awesomeness, and a sprinkle of gratuitous gunporn… blend on 11.…
: Take 
, move it to the American heartland, drop a high school on the set, mix in about twice as much teenage angst, add some bad guys who actually got some relatively amusing one-liners, and you will pretty much be in the ballpark. …
