Supreme Sanction
Supreme Sanction with Kristy Swanson, Michael Madsen, Ron Perlman, and Donald Faison.
This is one horrible movie. I’m sorry but Kristy Swanson cannot follow up her Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie to carry her own poorly scripted action movie. Madsen, as a villain, is too …
Pitch Perfect (movie)
One of the movies that I was privileged to watch as of recently was an unexpected gem called Pitch Perfect. I call this unexpected because when I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was much less than interested in seeing it. I was never much of a …
Step Up 2: The Streets

Match Point (R, 2005) movie

Vanishing Point
I watched a movie the other night that I really couldn’t get into at all. It was called Vanishing Point and featured some actors I had never heard of. I don’t usually discriminate when it comes to independent or B list actors, if you can act, i’ll watch your …
The Matrix Reloaded movie
I actually thought that The Matrix was a done deal…no sequels involved (boy was i wrong). Reloaded came to stir up more trouble for our guys in shiney leather and dark glasses. What is there to say about this installation of The Matrix saga…other than it’s long, it’s dull, …
Jennifer’s Body movie
Well, we finally rented the movie Jennifer’s Body last night. As expected, the film was an OK movie and we got reminded of just how sexy Megan Fox really is. But, I have to say the movie also proved to be a bit of a disappointment.

The River Wild
Most movies that star Kevin Bacon have him as a lovable person. The River Wild is one of those movies that’s a bit different because it turns the guy who usually plays a hero into the villain and the contrast works.
The thing I like about The River Wild is …
P.S. I love You
When I picked up the movie P.S. I Love You, I expected it to be a tear jerker. What I found was, not only did it not move us to tears, we had a hard time keeping our eyes open.
While I loved the concept behind it, a man dies …
Big Bad Wolves (thriller movie)
