The Expendables 2: The director is ... Simon West

For those that this name does not ring a bell, let me remind you that he is the guy responsible for the awesomeness of "Con Air", then the mediocrity of "The general's daughter" and "Tomb Raider" and the actually pretty decent "The mechanic". It seems that Stallone decided wisely? not to be the helmer of this adventure after the mixed reviews. Personally, i did not think that Sly did a bad job

Review: 13 assassins

Saw the latest Takashi Miike flick, "13 assassins". It is a good looking film with wonderful landscapes- those that you can only find in Japan, extremely strong acting and a real bastard villain. Miike is considered a horror genre idol with films like "Audition", "Dead or alive" and "Ichi the killer". These "gems" have pushed the boundaries of extreme violence and among the fans is you guessed it

Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: on boredom tides

Just got back from the premiere screening of Pirates 4 aka "On stranger's tides". To me the title made no sense the first time i heard and probably haven't figured its meaning (so far). I am not going to describe the plot but i am saying that this fourth entry is the new chapter of a planned trilogy. In fact the script for Pirates 5 is ready- woa easy going money making machine. You are milking

Preview: Transformers 3 rocks better than the other two?

The early buzz for the thrid chapter of the popular "Transformers" franchise is set into motion and it is ready to be unleashed in glorious - kill me now- 3D and in IMAX 3D, entitled "Dark of the moon". We all remember how bad T2 was with its completely incomprehensible storyline, waste of time and energy and weird/bizarre robots that had accents and made sexual jokes!? However, despite the huge

Review: Hanna - Montana it is not!

Joe Wright's "Hanna" will bring recent memories of the scene stealing "Hit girl", in the comic book adaptation of "Kick ass". Both trained assassins since they were very young by their dads (Eric Bana and Nicolas Cage) and the similarities end here. KA was a parody of the superhero genre, a fresh (adult) take, a geek heaven with brilliant action sequences and a solid cast. "Hanna" is more serious

Trailer: Abduction- HI-LA-RIOUS!

Watch the trailer for the Taylor Lautner's vehicle to stardom or to oblivion? Probably thes econd. Despite being a ridiculous premise, looks kinda of fan but Lautner lacks every single drop of talent. Boring, unsympathetic and having the same facial expression all the way through, he makes Arnie look like Al Pacino. Not only that, but the product placement is fucking annoying and it seems he can

Review: Sucker Punch is a kick-ass party!

Honestly, some time i can't understand film critics (is someone who actually does?). They destroyed the latest brain child of visionary director Zack Snyder, helmer of successful movies such as "Dawn of the dead", "300" and "Watchmen". Glorious mess, incoherent storyline, blunt action sequences, video game aesthetic. Where did they saw all this? Point is screw the critics. They are stupid. But

Review: Unknown - to be or not to be?

Just watched "Unknown". People that have seen Liam Neeson's previous work on "Taken" will notice certan similarities. Action choreography, no CGI, car chases, same wardrobe, same setting-a european capital, in this case Berlin and that's it. Surprisingly Liam Neeson is such a great actor that elevates the whole film into another level. You sympathize with his problems just like in "Taken". He

Review: Drive angry - a blast!

Sometimes i cannot understand people. They are giving this film so much bullshit. Why? I am hearing it has Nicolas Cage. So what? So what if he has made some questionable or terrible and even odd choices in his acting career. The man certainly can act and he can deliver the goods as an action hero. Remember "the rock"? What about "Con air"? Or "Face off"? Anyways, "Drive angry" definitely is not
