Falcon Rising (Review)

Michael Jai White deserves more. He has looks, acting ability, charisma, brute strength and breathtaking ability, both of which he puts to use in some of the most bone-crunchingly athletic and visceral fight sequences to be filmed in the last … Continue reading

Westworld (Review)

If Westworld didn’t exist there would be several episodes of Futurama that would be mighty different. Aside from inspiring animated comedy though I can see little to extol beyond the initial premise. It is the future (for the 1970s anyway). … Continue reading

Drillbit Taylor (Review)

With some frightfully funny and daringly profane comedies under his belt, Judd Apatow decided to change tack and make a John Hughes style family friendly comedy, conveniently forgetting that if you take the profanity, irreverence and nudity out of an … Continue reading
