The Campaign, Wild and Wacky (Film Review)

The movie The Campaign opens today and it’s one of the wildest, wacky, madcap, clever, and ingenious comedies of the year, and that’s only the first 30 minutes.  After that the film takes on words like hilarious, incredible and unbelievable.  Just in time for a major election it couldn’t have a better release date.  If […]

Steven Seagal is HARD TO KILL – (Blu-Ray Review)

Ok, I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not the biggest Steven Seagal fan.  I wouldn’t even go as far as to use the word ‘fan’, but I have to say, I AM a fan of cheesy 80’s action flicks.  Chuck Norris was my hero, as I pretty much saw everything that he made back […]
