We’ve seen this happen in the past – competing studios rushing to get similar-themed movies out in-time to compete at the box office. Armageddon and Deep Impact, The Illusionist and The Prestige, ANTZ and A Bugs Life, Mission to Mars and Red Planet, Iron Eagle and Top Gun, Volcano and Dante’s Peak – all basically identical movies […]

Is Every 3-D Movie the Same!?!?

Beyond the Marquee They’re Gonna Party Like It’s 1999: AMERICAN REUNION (Blu-Ray Review) ***MATURE***
July 27th, 2012 Malone The older I get, the more my immaturity seems to stand out. I still make prank phone calls, possess a knack for turning anything into sexual innuendo, and even have a friend who goes by the nickname “Mr. Belch”. But in all of my stunted psychology, I just couldn’t find a way to enjoy the […]
THE WATCH : An Overcooked, Wacky Comedy (Film Review)
July 26th, 2012 John Delia The wacky film, The Watch, tries hard to entertain but sinks below average even with its fine cast of witty pro actors. The film struggles trying to make the scanty script work by upping the crude and rude level with a lot of off-color sight gags, a good measure of stupidity and strong sexual innuendos. The […]

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, and Blows You Away (Film Review)
July 19th, 2012 John Delia This may be the film that knocks off The Avengers from the all time box-office winner for 2012. The movie is called The Dark Knight Rises, but loyal fans will refer to the film as Batman and they know that this dark knight has all the power to rise above any comic book hero the […]
4:44 Last Day on Earth (Video Review)
July 19th, 2012 John Delia Highly stylized and compelling the movie 4:44 Last Day on Earth has been released on Blu-ray. The very dark film deals with nature’s wrath while sending a message to the failing atmosphere naysayer. Much like the recent moody Melancholia, the movie takes you on a collision course with death to all mankind. It’s not an […]
