I give my thoughts on the Avengers about 10 minutes in (after the mid-break), and they take up the majority of the review.This review is spoiler-free.

After a long absence, I have another video review of a movie. One that's currently in theaters even!Too Long, Didn't Watch Version: While Mission Impossible 4 is an excellent action movie - it misses the spirit of the Mission: Impossible franchise, by dumping the grounded-in-reality tone of earlier films and ...

Well, I have another video review of a movie this time. Specifically, I'm taking a look at the 1988 version of the Bourne Identity.Too Long, Didn't Watch Version:The Bourne Identity is a very faithful adaptation of the book - the most faithful adaptation of the book that has been made. ...

This review goes briefly into the King Kong video game before starting on the movie itself.

Concert films tend to follow a very specific formula: Band does stuff before performing, audience eagerly awaits performance, band performs, band and audience leave. Buena Vista Social Club follows that formula somewhat, but with some tweaks that makes it stand out. The film follows American music producer Ry Cooder gathering ...

This review was originally written for my blog. Looking for Tsukue? Just follow the corpses. It's been a while since I put a film review together, for something outside of a genre film for Bureau42. However, what better place to get back into the swing of things than the 1960s ...

Occasionally a horror film comes about where the premise might be unimpressive, but the film's cast commands attention. The Crimson Cult, originally titled “The Curse of the Crimson Altar” in the UK, is one of such films. The film follows Robert Manning, an antique dealer who has come to the ...

This review is going to be written a little differently then most TV show reviews. Instead, it's going to be done in the style of wrestling event reviews from 411Mania and similar sites.  The event starts of with a pretty significant bang - the Dudley Boys power-bombing Balls Mahoney through a flaming table, ...

“World Tours” are, anymore, a given for most rock concert tours, at least with any performer big enough to get Platinum records. However, I really don’t think that most people “get” what goes into a concert tour that goes around the world – both in terms of the toll on ...

I love physics. To be more accurate, I love all the space sciences. This ties in to my enjoyment of science fiction series like Star Trek and Star Wars, and from watching documentary series like Nova on Public Broadcasting as a kid. Plus, like most people, I love underdog stories. ...

I enjoy spy thrillers. Marathon Man, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Smiley’s People, Sneakers, Spy Game, etc, have all stuff I’ve enjoyed. I bring up Spy Game, because it was my first exposure to Redford in a spy film, which in turn leads me to this week’s review – Three Days ...

I came in to this movie knowing nothing about Cormac McCarthy. I hadn’t read the book this movie was based on. I hadn’t read The Road, nor had I seen the movie that was adapted from the book. What I did have, however, is knowledge of the Coen Brothers from seeing Fargo and O Brother, ...

As someone who intends to become a network security professional, I know a little something about hacking. Not how to penetrate people’s systems or anything like that, but I know about security flaws, I know about ways a possible attacker might come at your system, and I know that the ...

 This review was originally published on my blog.   As a quick note – I’m reviewing the US release of the film. The European Union cut of the film is several minutes longer and is the director’s vision for how the film would turn out.The way that crime thrillers and mysteries have ...

Jackie Chan is one of my favorite comic actors out of the cinema of Hong Kong. He has, rightfully, been compared with Danny Kaye, with regards to his physical comic prowess. Having heard good things about the second film in the series, and having been amused by the first film, ...
