Movie Mayhem – Thor: The Dark World
Chock up another win for Marvel’s stellar Avengers machine. In their master plan to tell several individual stories that make up the essence of a larger world, Marvel (and parent company, Disney) took a huge risk that has done nothing but create a magnificent realm (or nine realms, if you will) of riches.

Can I Just Say…
It’s pretty disconcerting to realize that the federal government is more interested in marketing than they are in governing.

Movie Mayhem – The Counselor
Being able to identify the genre of a film is a lot like eating comfort food—it allows us a chance to find what fits our mood and know what we’re getting into before we sit down for a couple of hours with our buttery box of popcorn and sweets. When it’s not clear what you’re […]

Movie Mayhem – Escape Plan
It’s not a secret that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were action movie rivals throughout the eighties and early nineties, squaring off against each other at the box office with films including The Terminator, Tango and Cash, Total Recall and Stop, or My Mom Will Shoot… okay, maybe not so much the last one, but […]
