Alex Cross Blu-ray Review

February 4, 2013

Alex Cross is a picture-perfect example of what NOT to do when you get the rights to a popular author's work. If director Rob Cohen and his team could've picked just a single angle and run with it, this Tyler… Read More

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters Review: Grimm Isn’t Win

Movie Reviews Reviews

Blu-ray Reviews Reviews

January 9, 2013

After what feels like a lifetime of "found footage" films coming out left and right and none of them every really blowing me away, I personally was over the trend. What more could someone do with it? Where else could… Read More

“You ever hear the saying, ‘You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. You run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole?’ ” Justified, FX’s pinnacle of all-around bad-assery,… Read More
