The Avengers Movie Review Movie Review by Adam Davis So The Avengers eh? Not being a Marvel guy myself, I can say I was curious how this would turn out. I don’t have any ties to these characters per se, other than enjoying Iron Man and Captain America. The First Avenger especially was a very nice surprise. It was great to see a so-called “old-fashioned” character pulled off so well in a modern movie. There were no apologies made for Cap, he was presented straight from the pages of the comic complete with stars and stripes and a clear sense of right and wrong. I really respected what the filmmakers did with him, especially...

Real Steel is a Knockout!

Real Steel Review By Kevin Knowlton I really liked Real Steel and that surprises me. I never would’ve seen Real Steel if it weren’t for my friends wanting to see it so badly. My wife and I agreed after seeing the trailer that it looked completely corny. The premise itself is silly – but...

The Debt Review by Kevin Knowlton First of all, I’m sad to admit that I would never have been aware of The Debt had it not been recommended to me by a co-worker; you can thank him for this review. He and I usually have conflicting tastes in films, but I always seem give his...

A Wasted Opportunity (Killer Elite Movie Review) Killer Elite Review by Kevin Knowlton I’ll admit it. I went into this movie with the wrong set of expectations. I will not however admit that I was wrong in expecting this to be an action movie. Just watch the trailer: Wow, and now I’m...

I can’t help but feel that I fucked up somewhere. It has been brought to my attention that I have not been writing enough rants as of late. I think that is because I have to have something that really genuinely pisses me off to the point where I feel that others should be made aware of my...
