  • Looper

    Release date: September 28, 2012  Face your future. Fight you past.

I never noticed the odd shape of Bruce Willis’ nose until they slapped that sucker…

  • Hit and Run

    Release date: August 22, 2012  A comedy that never takes its foot off the gas.

  • The Watch

    Release date: July 27, 2012  Got Protection? This flick has about as much focus as a kid with ADHD in a room full of colours and boobs.

  • Premium Rush

    Release date: August 24, 2012  Ride like hell. Pedestrians hate motorists. Motorists hate pedestrians. But everyone hates cyclists. Going into Premium Rush I couldn’t help but think about the add campaign for this flick really making it seem like The Transporter… on a bike. As good an action flick as that series is, I was…

  • The Running Man

  • The Dark Knight Rises

    I’d like to take a moment and acknowledge the horrible events surrounding the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado. My heart and sympathies go out to the victims, their families, and everyone affected by the acts of that sick individual. He took a place I, and many other people call a second…

  • The Odd Life of Timothy Green

    Release date: August 15, 2012  Usually when your cheese is green, it’s a bad thing. But not here! Disney! You dastardly rich bastards.
