The trailer for Super 8 has a lot of hype going on around it and after time and again of people mentioning it I thought I had better have a look for myself. Written and directed by JJ Abrams of LOST fame and Cloverfield, Super 8 is a tale of a group of children out to make a small home movie when they witness what at first appears to be an innocent train crash. Shortly after the train wreckage event... 

We’ve all seen the suave yet tough police movies where the detectives figure it the crime at just the right moment and can backup their findings with muscle if the bad guys put up a fight. The kinds of films where Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson are partners and steal every scene for audiences everywhere. The Other Guys has an element of that, including Samuel and Dwayne just as we expect them,... 

If you have ever wondered where ex-CIA agents go when they retire, then you’ll be pleased to find Red would like to offer you an answer. Based on the graphic novel of the same name and co-authored by Warren Ellis, the movie Red features a “day in the life” of a few retirees of the CIA and the monotony that is likely to set in after a life based on high adrenaline and action. As the group find... 

Well, folks, the boys are back and if you have a problem, and if you can find them, then maybe you can hire the A-team. Yep, based off the original series from the 80’s, The A-Team has indeed been turned into a movie and it’s set to release June 11th, 2010. While this new movie doesn’t seem to have any of the bad dialogue and random explosions as the TV show, wait…who am I kidding? It does. As...

Releasing on March 5th is Brooklyn’s Finest a film about three cops of Brooklyn and how they handle the pressures of their job, their family life, and the potential power to be gained from corruption. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, who also directed Training Day, which I liked, and Tears of the Sun, which I wasn’t too keen on, Brooklyn’s Finest looks to play out like the typical cop drama with one... 

You ever want to see a movie about a couple of renegade cops/FBI agents/CIA operative whatevers who break bad on their own mission, do a bunch of stunts, run around with guns, and give a few comic relief jokes which are fairly lame and tiring? Me neither. Not only does the trailer for The Losers make the movie look completely formulaic, but also the trailer itself looks completely formulaic. Based... 

There really isn’t any artistic merit for a movie like 12 Rounds. It’s just one of those movies that’s put out there, as I am repeatedly reminded when I review something like a Michael Bay picture, to entertain.
