Review: ‘Iron Man 3′ Has Plenty of Laughs, Few Thrills

May 3rd, 2013
iron-man-3

And people said Iron Man 2 was stupid. Robert Downey Jr. is back in the first post-Avengers Marvel film, and boy is it a cluttered mess. Featuring a bland villain, a nonsensical plot and major tonal imbalance, Iron Man 3 has plenty of laughs but very few thrills. But hey, at least Robert Downey Jr. is in it.

Watch the First Thor 2 Trailer

April 24th, 2013

Thor is back, and so is Natalie Portman looking all Natalie Portman-ish! Disney and Marvel have released the first action-packed teaser trailer for Thor: The Dark World, which looks like the first one only with an even badder bad guy. The teaser isn’t all that great in the scheme of things, but it has some juicy nuggets.

Review: ‘Dredd’ is a Violently Good Time

January 8th, 2013
dredd-movie-2012

Sylvestor Stallone is gone, but Judge Dredd is back in Dredd, a movie no one asked for but got anyway. In this case, however, Dredd is a fun surprise, a movie that won’t win any awards but revels in its simplicity and benefits from slick direction and a violent script.

Iron Man Suffers in the First Iron Man 3 Trailer

October 24th, 2012
iron-man-3-ben-kingsley

I’m a sucker for depressing movie trailers, especially when you know the good guys are eventually going to prevail in the end. In the upcoming Iron Man 3, Tony Stark looks like he’s in for a sh*t show. A mysterious terrorist named The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) wages war on Stark and his alter ego Iron Man by obliterating his mansion and apparently stealing his suits, and that’s just the beginning.

The 9 Best Joseph Gordon-Levitt Movies

August 24th, 2012

Ever since his career-making turn in 1999′s 10 Things I Hate About You, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has proven he has an eye for choosing rewarding, versatile projects (we’ll ignore G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra). Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of the most talented actors working today, and while he has yet to earn an Academy Award nomination, it’s only a matter of time.

With The Dark Knight Rises still plugging along and the Gordon-Levitt-starring Premium Rush in theaters this week, now is a perfect time to look at the accomplished actor’s best movies.

Warner Bros. has released the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Superman movie Man of Steel, which debuts in theaters summer 2013.

Why You Should Watch The Dark Knight Rises Now

July 20th, 2012

Anticipation can be a bitch. Expectations can lead to disappointment. Hype can be a killer. Christopher Nolan’s epic conclusion to his Dark Knight trilogy has to deal with all three nuisances, and he flicks them aside like villain Bane does Batman, the entire Gotham police force and everyone else who makes the mistake of crossing his path.

The Amazing Spider-Man Movie Review

July 4th, 2012
amazing-spider-man-suit

Ten years and two months after Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man dominated theaters and advanced the comic book movie genre to a whole new level, the web slinger is back, restarting from scratch with a new origin story that is strangely reminiscent of the previous origin story. Cursed by its own lack of originality, The Amazing Spider-Man struggles mightily to shed the not-so-distant memory of its predecessors, but deep down there is a well done movie that sets the stage for some highly charged sequels.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Review

June 11th, 2012
ghost-rider-spirit-of-vengeance

Way back in 2007, I watched a movie called Ghost Rider. And way back in 2007, I wrote a movie review that said it is “one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time.” And way back in 2007, I lamented, “Are we going to suffer a sequel?” After earning $237 million worldwide, Marvel said “yes”, which means that Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance exists. In the movie, people pay for their sins, and the audience pays as well. We’re the reason a sequel exists. We deserve to watch this wretched movie a thousand times over.
