Fast & Furious 6 [ Hits:59 ]
Review: Fast cars, leggy women, big guns, money and loads of piston-pumping action is the stuff of the Fast & Furious. Six movies in and it's like they're just starting their engines as the flags go down and the winner takes all. Although to be fair, the road has had some twists, veering into new territory with Tyrese Gibson in 2 Fast 2 Furious and then reinventing the series altogether with the third one, Tokyo Drift. The Fast & Furious franchise has come a long way - peaking with their hybrid...
Iron Man 3 [ Hits:253 ]
Review: Iron Man surpassed expectations, while Iron Man 2 hovered below them. Just when we thought the Iron Man saga needed a bit of oil, The Avengers knocked any signs of rust off the rocket-powered Tin Man with Robert Downey Jr. stealing the show once again (with the Hulk's permission). So the excitement around the May Day release of Iron Man 3 has been building and with Robert Downey Jr. starring, what could possibly go wrong?Iron Man 3 fuses a number of Iron Man comic book storylines together to cre...
G.I. Joe: Retaliation [ Hits:167 ]
Review: G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra was a cheesy all-out action CGI overload that borrowed from a number of better movies and embarrassed a number of actors in the process. Yet, that didn't stop them from making a sequel, G.I. Joe: Retaliation. HOO-HA! The G.I. Joe movie franchise has had a complete overhaul. The focus is still on gung-ho action, gun-slinging, bad attitudes, combat vehicles and advanced technology, but they've dropped the tongue-in-cheek tone for serious kick-ass action, beefed up the cast...
The Last Stand [ Hits:197 ]
Review: "I'll be back." Love or hate him, Arnold Schwarzenegger has managed to become: Mr. Universe, a Hollywood icon, husband to a Kennedy and Governor of California. He set out to become extraordinary and has achieved all of his lofty goals by the age of 65. He wasn't lying when he said those famous words... while it may not be a Tarantino comeback, he's still got the on-screen muscle to pull off an Austrian Sheriff at a Mexican border town. It's a little far-fetched, but it's Arnie and fans are will...
A Good Day to Die Hard [ Hits:239 ]
Review: "Bruce Willis is Dead!" It's the title of a Brothers Streep song, but judging from his last (and possibly last ever) Die Hard performance - he's ready to leave the terrorist-infested building. In an ironic and unintentional move, Willis reprises his role in The Sixth Sense by being dead from the get-go. There's only so much life we can squeeze out of our favourite '80s action icons, first launching them as action figurines from rooftops with makeshift parachutes as kids and then forcing stud...
Skyfall [ Hits:414 ]
Review: Skyfall is the third James Bond film starring Daniel Craig, an actor who has successfully managed to keep himself detached from his Bond status in Hollywood. This can be attributed to his mission, which has seen him play 007 in every anti-Bond formula film since Casino Royale. The 007 franchise needed a shake-up, and intentions were revealed when Daniel Craig was cast as the new James Bond in Casino Royale, an intense blonde rogue, who replaced Pierce Brosnan's suave Gillette schmarminess with ...
Dredd 3D [ Hits:678 ]
Review: Hollywood has run out of ideas, which is why they're starting to reboot projects that failed to reach their full potential... like Sylvester Stallone's Judge Dredd. The idea of seeing a second attempt at this comic book hero, wrapped in a 3D bow and sporting a relatively unknown cast was about as appealing as snorting that salt and vinegar popcorn spice. Turns out you may just like Dredd 3D... in both nostrils.In this exciting reboot, Judge Dredd (Urban) takes on a new rookie, whose psychic abil...
Resident Evil: Retribution [ Hits:388 ]
Review: Resident Evil: Retribution is the latest installment in the longest running video game adaptation series ever. Milla Jovovich reprises her role as Alice and takes on the evil Umbrella Corporation with the help of a resistance movement, in an effort to escape a holding cell and their testing facility. The Resident Evil saga has a loyal zombie following and has created a new film subgenre... action ballet. By now most people know that Resident Evil is all about Matrix style gun fights, zombie att...
The Dark Knight Rises [ Hits:574 ]
Review: Christopher Nolan is a perfectionist, a conductor who insists that every instrument at his disposal is finely calibrated and double-checked. This means his films are always beautiful and reinforced by strong writing, powerful music and breathtaking visuals. His clinical precision could be accused of siphoning the warmth, imperfection and joy out of film, but he does tend to work on the colder, darker more serious side of the spectrum. In The Dark Knight Rises, Batman is still despised by Goth...
The Amazing Spider-Man [ Hits:556 ]
Review: Whatever your reservations about the new Spider-Man remake, The Amazing Spider-Man delivers the goods. Sam Raimi's version set the standard with Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker in a slick CGI action fest for comic book fans. Marc Webb takes the same formula and reinterprets the story for a more psychological, dramatic take on Parker and his demons. We're given more background on Parker's family setup as the troubled youth becomes ensnared in New York City's crime-fighting efforts for selfish reas...
