Notebook Reviews: X-MEN

Bryan Singer – 2000. Bryan Singer‘s X-Men is a comic book movie which really delivers the goods in a big, big way. A strong screenplay, good character development and a top-notch cast (Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Halle [...]

Trailer: Things Get DANGEROUS For Scott Eastwood & Mel Gibson

This trailer for Dangerous starts off in a pretty generic fashion, but things then get a bit really crazy as it moves on. It looks like it might just be a silly shoot-em-up with a good lead role for Scott Eastwood. Throw in support from the mighty [...]

Notebook Reviews: DEEP RISING

Stephen Sommers – 1998. Writer/director Stephen Sommers delivers a gloriously wonderful B-movie in the shape of Deep Rising. Part Poseidon Adventure and part Aliens, Sommers’ film is an absolute hoot from start to finish. Treat [...]

Review: It’s Nicolas Cage Versus A Jaguar In The Action-Packed PRIMAL

Nicolas Un-Caged – that’s what you could call this man versus nature actioner. Nicolas Cage returns to his action roots with Primal, a high octane action film which takes subtlety and tosses it overboard. Cage hasn’t been this on-form [...]

PRIMAL Trailer: Nicolas Cage Has Game

The mighty Nicolas Cage continues to bang out movies like his life (or his bank balance) depends on it. Some of these movies are good, some…not so good. However, Primal looks like it just might be great. The whole thing is pure B-movie: Cage [...]
