Movie Review: The Man of Steel
I saw this movie last week and have been taking my time getting around to review it. According to IMDb it earned around 8 out of 10 stars and I find that almost laughable. I think someone got paid off there. The movie has some big name talent (in notably smaller roles): Russell Crowe, Kevin […]

Old Movie Review: Taken 2 (2012)
I enjoyed the original “Taken” movie when it first came out, so, a friend and I thought we’d take a gander at the sequel “Taken 2.” It stars Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen, and a few other actors and actresses I’m not familiar with. Liam Neeson plays Bryan Mills, a retired CIA operative, and Famke Janssen […]

Old Movie Review: The Factory (2012)
Old Movie Review: The Factory “The Factory” is a crime/action/thriller inspired by true events and starring John Cusack and Jennifer Carpenter. The IMDB rating gives the movie 5.4 stars out of 10, which I think is absurd. This is a really good movie, with a killer twist. Of course, it is based on true […]

Old Movie Review: The Dark Sleep (2012)
“The Dark Sleep” is a short film based on an H.P. Lovecraft story “The Dreams in the Witch House.” I have only read a couple Lovecraft stories and “The Dreams in the Witch House” is not one of them. So I cannot comment on the accuracy of this particular portrayal or even the quality of […]
