Let’s get down to business Captain America is the best movie I’ve seen all summer. Captain America is the best Marvel movie since Iron Man. It has the heart of the first Superman movie with Indiana Jones’ spirit of adventure. Want to know why and why you HAVE to stay after the credits? Read on. (more…)
Review: Billy’s Cult

You won’t see this in a Hollywood horror movie. Movie killers often have specific targets: Freddy Krueger targeted his murderers children, Hannibal Lecter killed and ate rude people, and Snidely Whiplash tied defenseless women to railroad tracks (okay he’s not a killer but you get my point), Billy Kingsley (Donovan Kern), from the new movie, “Billy’s Cult,” targets the innocents and those generally considered “off limits” in horror films, from priests to young children to pregnant single women.

Friday was my birthday and a tradition I have is seeing a movie with my Mom. This year my Dad had the day off so he came to. I decided the most appropriate movie for us to see was Transformers: Dark of the Moon. After all, the original, animated movie was always a favorite of family movie night. (At least for me) So was it the fun, family outing we used to enjoy during my youth? I thought so. (more…)

There’s a lot of negativity about Green Lantern. Some deserved, some undeserved. It didn’t help that a trailer was released before the effects were done. But, comparisons to Jonah Hex are a little unfair. The cast is great, the effects are breathtaking, and the story’s clear. However Green Lantern has one major flaw, it’s reverence to the source material. (more…)
Review: X-Men: First Class

Between the Thor’s, Green Lantern’s, and Captain America’s of this summer it seems a new X-Men movie has been overlooked. After two blockbusters, an average third installment, a prequel some consider a disappointment, and the lack of “big name” X-Men like Cyclops, Storm, and Wolverine, it’s easy to see why many have written off X-Men: First Class before they’ve seen it. So does X-Men: First Class save the franchise or bury it? The answer is it does. (more…)
Does the S.H.I.E.L.D. Assessment Kit Provide Hints to Avengers?

If you’ve seen Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk, and Thor you know there is a thread connecting these movies together in the form of a clandestine government organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. To promote Thor, Acura teamed up with Marvel to produce the “S.H.I.E.L.D. Assessment Kit,” a mock attaché with various tests to see if you’re worthy of becoming an agent. I was lucky enough to receive one of these kits in the mail. So what’s it like? Does it provide any hints about the upcoming Avengers movie? I think so. Click below to find out more. (more…)
