There’s a lot to love about Mel Gibson‘s Oscar-winning epic. Set around the end of the 13th century, the film tells the legendary story of William Wallace, a courageous Scottish warrior who led his peers in fighting the tyrannical King of England and his armies. The Scots may be in lesser number, and there are feuds among them, but Wallace ignites their patriotism and their…
If anything, Robert Rodriguez knows how to shoot a bunch of super cool little bits and cut them into a spectacularly badass trailer, which is exactly what he did when he made the fake “Machete” trailer that opened “Grindhouse”. What he doesn’t quite seem to know how to do is how to make a movie that doesn’t also seem like a bunch of super cool little bits….

Christmas movies, by and large, are movies you need to watch through a child’s eyes. They tend to be feel-good, gooey, sentimental ventures, and the cynical modern man might want to look down on all that. But then… It’s Christmas, darn it, happy happy joy joy is what it’s all about. And then again, there’s the occasional Yuletide tale like Dr Seuss’ classic Grinch book…
Movie Infos Title: The Fast and the Furious Year: 2001 Director: Rob Cohen Aaah, Vin Diesel. You might not know him yet, but believe me, you will. He made good of bit parts in “Saving Private Ryan” and “Boiler Room”, gave “The Iron Giant” his deep, low voice, and in my “Pitch Black” review, I suggested he could become the next Schwarzenegger. Scratch that; he…
This is hardly the first series about espionage and international intrigue, but if feels fresher, edgier and smarter than the genre has in a long time. Or maybe I’m just blinded by my schoolboy crush on Jennifer Garner. Grad student by day, CIA spy by night, Garner’s Sydney is one sexy badass cool mama! Garner goes through so many looks, moods and dimensions in each…
Sam Mendes needs to get his hands on a truly great screenplay. Alan Ball’s “American Beauty” script achieved a kind of greatness, but there’s no doubt that it’s the stunning look Mendes gave the film that made it so memorable. There’s a feeling in “Road to Perdition” that same thing may occur, but the problems of this script are far greater than the occasional sitcomish…
My favorite film of all time. Every single scene kicks ass. Every damn second is exciting! Schwarzenegger masterfully plays John Matrix, a guy you don’t wanna fuck with. He’s the ultimate action hero. He makes Rambo looks like a wimp! You don’t make them any tougher than Colonel John Matrix. Intelligent, cool under pressure, physically imposing, an expert in martial arts and the use…
