Arnold Schwarzenegger is back this January in “The Last Stand.” While having appeared in both “Expendables” films, he hasn’t been a lead character since 2003’s “Terminator 3.” Director Kim Ji-Woon’s film, “The Good, The Bad, The Weird,” had a decent run in the American Festival circuit, and “The Last Stand” marks the director’s jump to …
‘Broken City’ marks Allen Hughes first solo film – the Hughes Brothers last joint effort being ‘The Book of Eli.’ The film stars Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe, and was on the Hollywood black list since 2008. The script, written by Brian Tucker, found a home with Hughes.
Django Unchained is Director Quentin Tarantino’s follow up to 2009’s Inglorious Basterds. What that film did for World War II films, this film does for Western’s. It takes the typical archetypes of the genre and somewhat historical scenarios, and twists them into excellent, dark, pulpy, violent entertainment.

Prometheus is one of those films that you are much better of not knowing anything about going in. Which is why I almost didn’t write this review. The less you know going in the better. The trailers actually did a great job of giving you just enough information to get you in the theater, and …
I’m always intrigued when classic tales are reimagined. Robin Hood, Ridley Scott’s take on the classic tale was flawed, but entertaining. What we have with Snow White and the Huntsman is another example of a decent but ultimately flawed reimagining – a film that is combines a lot of excellent effects and visuals, with a …
What happen’s when you go from having anything, to not being able to afford it? It’s easy to look at Lauren Greenfield’s documentary the The Queen of Versailles and be shocked, even disgusted at the wealth of David and Jackie Siegel. But that’s not what the film is about. Not once did I feel that …
