Here's a quick question: What's the worst pack-in video game of all-time? I imagine Sega consoles have their detractors in this category. After all, they did open up their brand-new Genesis to a spanking … more
**1/2 out of **** I often enjoy a night at the movies where I can merely enjoy the sheer spectacle of a production rather than bask in some complex, consistent story. These experiences … more
I waited a long time to view this film and I should have waited longer! It was worse than what most of the critics said about it. Seth Rogen is incredibly miscast in this movie that is a ridiculously … more
*1/2 out of **** As a superhero movie, directed by Michel Gondry, and written by Seth Rogen; "The Green Hornet" really pisses me off. It has the potential of a really awesome, … more
I think Seth Rogen is at his best when he keeps his mouth shut. Which, unfortunately isn’t hardly ever these days, and is almost completely never in “The Green Hornet.” … more

12A - 114mins - Adventure/Drama - 25th March 2011 Now I'm not great at working out whether this was historically accurate or not so that's not going to be affect the way I rate this new movie. … more

Stories about honor and courage. A lot of us have all been there. I have to admit I went to “The Eagle” with extra low expectations since I was never a fan of Channing Tatum (Fighting) but … more
'The Green Hornet' was decent fun, but to be perfectly honest, most of the best parts had already been seen in the trailer, and the rest of the movie was mostly ways to stitch the cool scenes together. … more
There is something very fascinating about noble failures. Something that is both really, really good but missing that chemical "x" to make it absolutely fantastic. The pieces are all there: … more
