Several strangers, each well versed in armed combat, find themselves
dropped into a dense jungle where they are pursued by Predators, a race
of extraterrestrials who hunt alien life-forms for sport.As much as I enjoy seeing Predators do their thing, this attempt by
20th Century Fox to reboot its popular sci-fi/action franchise does
nothing to change my opinion that the dread-l...

I'm not here to tell you "Armored" is Kubrickian, Hitchcockian or
Fellini-esquire. Nope. Referenced directors are more like Don Siegel
("Charlie Varrick") and Walter Hill ("The Warriors"). Those two helmers
didn't fool around with niceties like putting women in their movies. No
skirts need apply. They unapologetically made guy movies. Guns, lots of
guns. Men met viole...

21 is definitely the major film for the spring time, it has young hot
actors, including an incredible academy award winner, Kevin Spacey, and
another great actor who's head looks like it grew quite a bit bigger,
Lawarence Fishburne. So it has all the key ingredients for a good
movie, a decent plot, over all a good combination of actors, and looks
like a well put together mo...

Tortured is a mystery/thriller. The way it's presented is first-rate,
and I wondered, where did this one come from? After it's all over, you
have a feeling of having been had. I was entertained for the 90
minutes, but some plot changes would have made this a believable story.
There are some gruesome torture scenes. It stars Cole Hauser, Laurence
Fishburne, James Cromwel...

In all its silliness and tongue-in-cheek disposition, the first
"Fantastic Four" movie wasn't really a landmark as far as comic book
films go. But it wasn't so bad either; it's just that after Marvel

Well, to start off, I have to say that Biker Boyz isn't a good movie.
However, it is better than the other recent bike movie, Torque, if only
because it tries to do something with itself. But it fails none the less,
perhaps for being too ambitious. The bike crowd watches the movie hoping to
see realism and some good racing. Instead they get straight-shot drag style
races, wh...

Horizon is, in fact, a horror film set in space, and a surprisingly
effective one at that. While not a ...
