Domino is one of those movies that should have just worked on every level.  Theres a great cast with Keira Knightly, Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken.  A cool story about bounty hunting, …

Reportedly 100 Million people tuned into The Day After when it debuted in 1983 and many had they're lives changed by it.  This tale of escalating nuclear tensions plays like a horror movie perfectly …

One of thing things I learned after following pro wrestling a few years back is what happened to those names I used to hear about all the time like Jake Roberts and Lex Luger.  I never heard about …

"You got your ass kicked honey."      Really, I don't think I can sum that up better then faux Adrian.  Rocky V in 1990 effectively ended the Rocky series with an …

Not long ago when I talked about "The Proposal" I said that if I could find a "rom com" that took a few more chances and had a few more surprises I could like it a little more.  …

Bar none the Coen's remain my favorite film makers but the 2000's didn't start out for them that well.      O Brother, was loved by some and panned by others, there was …

Tango & Cash
Is it possible for a movie to be as corny as it is cheesy?  Can it still be fun even though the drivel you see before you is pretty bad?  Yes on all accounts with this cliche machine of a movie.   …

It took 6 long years for the character of James Bond to come back to theaters after a lukewarm response to Timothy Dalton's Bond movie License To Kill.  Contract disputes and legal matters not …

As far as the Brosnan Bond movies go, everyone has an opinion on which is best.  TND may not be a great movie but at least it's fun, and fast.      After successfully stealing …

How talented is James Cameron?  Lets put it this way.  He made a movie where Tom Arnold has major screen time and is entertaining to watch.  That takes talent.  I don't hate Tom …

There is no doubt that Bond was King back in the 60's.  When this movie came out and gave birth to the mega hit of movies, it was undeniable that the man was untouchable, especially when at the …

Timothy Dalton gets a lot of hell for his portrayal of Bond.  He's stiff, too serious, too dark, a little too unlikeable and a little too tough.  I really like him myself since he shows failings …
