MOVIE REVIEW: ‘San Andreas’ Crumbles, Explodes And Dulls

Film: San Andreas Starring: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario Directed by: Brad Peyton The disaster movie is a sub-genre that works almost solely off of nostalgia.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Hercules’

Film: Hercules Starring: Dwayne Johnson Directed by: Brett Ratner This is not the myth you remember, but it’s the legend you will love. If you thought that line was corny, you may not want to purchase a ticket to Brett Ratner’s take on Hercules. It’s a wise-cracking, too cool for its own good type of […]

New ‘Hercules’ Trailer Has Life, Death, And Queens Of The Stone Age?

The new trailer for Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Hercules has hit and seems to be a big improvement on the first. In this preview there is everything from giant wild boars to a three-headed hydra monster but of course, what is a period film without really angry line recitation.

‘Hercules’ Trailer: The Rock Makes Kellin Lutz Look Like A Punk

Over the last decade, movie-going audiences have watched as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson pummeled bad guys and pulled off mind-blowing action sequences featuring all sorts of technology, but for his latest action epic he’ll be stepping back in time for a tale built around swords, torches, and a whole lot of CGI animals.

MOVIE REVIEW: Empire State

Film: Empire State Starring: Liam Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Angarano Directed by: Dito Montiel I absolutely guarantee you that reading a liveblog of this movie would be far more entertaining than watching the film itself.

MOVIE REVIEW: G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Film: G.I. Joe: Retaliation Director: Jon M. Chu Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum Like many movie snobs, the 2009 release of G.I. Joe: Rise Of The Cobra was nothing special to me.

DAMMIT: “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” Delayed 9 Months Due To Greedy Studio Execs

If there is one fad I wish would die out more than any other, it is the use of 3D in film. Sure it can be useful here and there, but in the grand scheme of things I would argue less than 10% of all films shot or converted to 3D actually benefit from style. […]
