Falling Skies Season 2 Premiere Review

June 18, 2012

Falling Skies feels slightly different in the early goings of Season 2 versus the rocky first season. Fundamentally it’s still the same; Tom and Weaver are doing everything in their power to keep a group of civilians alive in a post-alien… Read More

June 18, 2012

John Carter is a fittingly bland name for Disney's equally bland big budget actioner. It's a film whose premise, based on the Barsoom series of books penned by Edgar Rice Burroughs between 1912 and 1943, is past its time, borrowed… Read More

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Blu-ray Review

Blu-ray Reviews Reviews

June 10, 2012

Smokey and the Bandit was a movie I couldn't stand to watch as a kid. It was one of those movies that, on any given weekend, was playing on one of the cable superstations. If it wasn't on WGN, it… Read More
