I have been waiting for this movie since 2009. Actually, scratch that – since 2007 and it was worth it. I don’t have to tell you that Marvel’s grand experiment in bringing the comic book shared continuity concept to the … Continue reading →

Over the last few years the phrase “found footage” became synonymous with “not very good at all” – especially in Hollywood. While there are some amateur projects framed around this paradigm that are surprisingly decent, big budget productions using it … Continue reading →

Old age is a fatal disease. It spares no one, and over the ages we have learned to accept it as inevitability. We have grown to expect, and even praise it as something good – something beneficial. But for all … Continue reading →

Season of the Witch… How on earth do I review this… Let me try to put it in perspective, but that requires a little bit of setup. I make no secret that I play pen and paper RPG’s from time … Continue reading →

Remember my long rant about mindless entertainment? Here is a movie that is anything but that. It is the exact opposite. It is smart, poignant, reflective and heady. It is the kind of movie that Hollywood execs would loathe to … Continue reading →

Back in 2006 Darren Aronofsky released a science fiction movie called The Fountain. It starred Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, it had rather intriguing plot and it went absolutely nowhere. Most people haven’t seen it, or forgot that it existed. … Continue reading →

I never really read Thor or Avenger comics so reviewing the latest batch of Marvel movies is a slightly different experience for me. While my rants about Spider Man, X-men or Daredevil were colored by my knowledge if the source … Continue reading →

Before I say anything about Sucker Punch, I want to give you some context. I watched this movie mainly because of the review posted below. I generally hold Movie Bob’s reviews in high regard – it rarely happens that one … Continue reading →

I just watched Super. Holly shit. It totally not what I expected it to be. It’s much better… And much darker… When you watch the trailer, you get the impression that this movie is just a wacky comedy in which … Continue reading →

If you put a gun to my head and told me to spell the word bureau for you, I would be extremely dead in a very short amount of time. It is one of those words that I always manage … Continue reading →
