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.

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.

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.
