RYAN: The November Man is randomly coming out in August. It’s a very weird few weeks we have for movies here so maybe it’s not that random. It is explained in the film why the main character is known as The November Man, but it’s not the best title. CAROLINE: What is this movie – ..
ACTION
RYAN: This is the sequel to 2005’s Sin City and it’s really more of the same. I can’t say whether it’s much improved, visually, since I don’t really member many details from it, aside from the unique visuals. And that style is the same. This one is offered in 3D and it’s black and white with ..
ACTION
RYAN: I’ve never been a fan of the TMNT and didn’t see the franchise of the 90s so I had little expectations for this reboot. They are pop culturally relevant. I was just praying it would be better than Transformers since it was produced by Michael Bay. And glady, it is. MICHAEL: It’ better at least ..
ACTION
RYAN: I’m thrilled to welcome my dear friend Tina Nelson to the site for this review. She’s form Kansas which appropriately lends tornado street cred for this movie. And I love that throughout her life, whenever anyone finds out she’s from there, they invariably make a Wizard of Oz or Dorothy comment, which would be amazing for ..
ACTION
RYAN: I’m thrilled to welcome Michael Zummo to join me in this review. Not only a friend, but a very talented author of the science fiction series D’Mok Revival. Because of that, I’m looking forward to your perspective on this movie. I wasn’t familiar with the Guardians comics or these characters. This is more obscure so I ..

RYAN: This is the new sic fi actioner starring Scarlett Johansson, written and directed by Luc Besson who has a reputation for intense action, but he’s hit or miss. I really liked this movie because it’s surprisingly deep and so profound. It does something a lot of movies don’t do – it educates while entertaining, ..
ACTION
RYAN: This movie comes just months after The Legend of Hercules and in the middle of the Game of Thrones popularity and stars the regularly bankable Dwayne The Rock Johnson, yet it’s an unfortunate film. CAROLINE: I can’t say I’m surprised. It looks like standard schlock fare. RYAN: It starts off brilliantly. The effects are cool and ..
ACTION
RYAN: This is the sequel to the Planet of the Apes reboot, beginning with Rise of the… and this time around it actually feels like it’s an Ape planet. The movie opens like a sorta monkey-Braveheart where they, alone, populate the earth and there are subtitles for the monkey-speak at which point I was thinking, ..
ACTION
RYAN: Ad so enters into our lives the 4th installment of the most unnecessary franchise in movie history – Transformers – only Michael Bay is calling this one a reboot instead of a “number 4.” It’s a continuation as far as I’m concerned having suffered through them all. And while this one is better than the ..
ACTION
RYAN: Finally a great Tom Cruise movie and one of his best, at that! He plays an officer in the army and it’s kids like many years in the future, sic fir blockbuster, could-be sequel to A Few Good Men and Top Gun. MICHAEL: Totally. It’s a mash-up of Groundhog Day and Starship Troopers. RYAN: I actually like it better ..
ACTION
RYAN: This is the new X-Men conglomerate sequel because it’s the proper sequel to X-Men: First Class but also a sequel to the original X-Men movies. It ties everything together and it’s most satisfying for coming so full circle to so many movies. If you, like I, have seen all of the X-Men and Wolverine ..
ACTION
RYAN: This first-ever 3D Godzilla hits screens and my initial reaction is that this is the year of the best special effects because after Captain America, The Amazing Spider-Man 2… well even last year’s Gravity, I mean, effects just can’t get any better! CHUCK: But I remember thinking that with Avatar too. They just keep evolving. RYAN: I was ..
