Sucker Punch is one of those movies that only Zack Snyder could write and direct. With a lot of the same elements that made 300 and Watchmen enjoyable were pretty evident in this movie about young girls locked within an institution that is not what is seems. Sucker Punch is a movie that you either [...]

After seeing the first Paranormal Activity I had mixed feelings about seeing the second. I wasn’t really that impressed with the first. After all of the hype about how fantastic it was… I found myself bored through it. So, upon hearing just as much hype about Paranormal Activity 2 I was a little bit apprehensive. [...]

I would like to say that this movie lived up to the hype surrounding it, but the truth is; The Haunting in Connecticut was mediocre at best. As the hype machine was set into motion when this movie was getting ready to hit the theaters, I just knew that this movie was going to be [...]

There has been a lot of different opinions about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I think most of the strong opinions is a mixture the high profile of the movie and people just wanting to stir up emotions. I don’t have a problem with it either.

There have been fewer greater movies created than the epic Gladiator. This week in the Flashback Review, I though it prudent to go over a movie, that while it was released in 2000, seems like it has been around for much longer.

Before I get into a review of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, I have to say that it is much better than I thought it was going to be. This might be because the previous installment of the series was a little bit too, ummm… boring for me. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans brought to [...]

This past weekend, I sat down and watched Cloverfield on DVD. I had forgotten that I had it on my DVD queue at Netflix and was a little surprised to see it in my mailbox. But, I figured since it was delivered I would watch it again. I didn’t mind it the first time so [...]

When something is done right, it seems like there are a lot of copycats that just fall short of the original idea. 12 Rounds is Die Hard reincarnated. Well, to be perfectly correct, that would be Die Hard 3. Does that mean it falls on it’s face? John Cena makes his second big screen appearance [...]

Over the weekend I got a chance to catch Journey To The Center Of The Earth, with Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, and Anita Briem on DVD. I wasn’t really expecting much because of the bad reviews I had seen of the movie. But, I really enjoyed the Mummy series of movies and was hoping that [...]
