Here’s another one I missed in the theaters. Dammit! But I did hear good things about it. Nevertheless, the action-thriller Man on a Ledge features an all star cast, led by Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans, Terminator: Salvation) as an ex-cop who escapes from prison to plan the ultimate heist: steal a $40 million […]
I think there is a certain amount of humor in the fact that Wrath of the Titans is essentially a take-two on this movie series. Wrath was certainly felt in regards to the 2010 film (which was in no way helped by the 3D that was then used as the key example of bad usage […]
Did they really need a sequel to 2010’s remake of the classic Clash of the Titans? Of course they didn’t. But if the success of 2011’s Insidious taught us anything, it’s that any movie that meekly survives to cultivate a profit in this tumulus day and age…well…deserves a sequel. And rightfully so. Why not?! I […]
There is a great film out there that seems to be about one thing, but is actually a lot more like another thing entirely. It involves a man who must place himself in a precariously high position on a building, with a plan to accomplish a certain task. Despite having this task in mind however, […]
After a year long delay, The Debt has now arrived in theaters. While at one time thought to be a possible Oscar contender, it now seems that it has been dumped into the end of summer release period. While this is not something that necessarily matters in relation to my thoughts on the film, the […]

James Cameron’s Avatar has arrived in a very impressive 3-disc Extended Collector’s Edition on Blu-ray. Some folks will scoff about this being the fourth or fifth (sarcastic) dip since it was first released as a bare bone disc earlier in the year. Scoff all you want, but James Cameron and Fox did say that this […]
After recently suffering through the original 1981 Clash of the Titans on Blu-ray (see review here), my apprehension towards this 2010 remake was quickly relinquished after only the first ten minutes into my theatrical press screening. I was pleasantly surprised, instantly enchanted and obsessively engrossed within the mythical fantasy world brought to life using the […]
The Clash of the Titans will make its High-Definition debut this July. That’s a long to time to wait to see Gemma Arterton again, but I’m sure I’ll live. Speaking of Gemma, it gives me a reason to post yet another picture of her on the site. Yea! Of course, Clash of Titans also stars […]
When I discovered late last year that one of my favorite childhood movies was going to be remade, I was jittery with excitement. Clash of the Titans was a film I enjoyed time and again, but notice I said ‘was’. Let me preface this; Star Wars is a movie that used, for its time, cutting-edge […]
How do you tell who the hero is in Clash of the Titans? He’s the one with the buzz-cut. Sam Worthington of Avatar fame dons the role of Perseus, son of Zeus himself, played by Liam Neeson (who has now been a jedi, a martial arts master, and the trainer of Batman for goodness sake) […]
After recently suffering through the 1981 adaptation of Clash of the Titans on Blu-ray (see review here), my apprehension towards this 2010 remake was quickly relinquished after only the first ten minutes of runtime. I was pleasantly surprised, instantly enchanted and obsessively engrossed within the mythical fantasy world brought to life using the latest and […]
I know we just posted the press release not so long ago for James Cameron’s monster hit Avatar, but when this press release hit my inbox I instantly had a thought. What a better way to persuade our eco-friendly writer Gregg Senko into buying this Blu-ray release. So Gregg…if you are reading this, check out the […]
Summertime arrives early this year for me with last year’s blockbuster film coming to Blu-ray this April. Actually, isn’t it the biggest grossing film of all time? Well anyway, the record breaking film needs no introduction. James Cameron’s Avatar arrives on the Blu-ray/DVD retail shelves of planet Earth everywhere on April 22nd. If that day doesn’t […]
After the death of his twin brother, Paraplegic marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) voyages to the alien world of Pandora to complete the mission his late sibling had signed up for. The mission involves transferring Jake’s consciousness into an artificially grown body called an avatar via some futuristic gizmo. These avatars have been created to […]
Finally the release date for Avatar arrived. The street lamp-hung signs at July’s Comic-Con now fulfilled their advertising destiny. The autumn-released teaser trailers and strategically placed glimpses were no longer needed as the real deal had landed. Rumors had swirled for months as to how much the film cost. Some said it was the first […]
For nearly three hours tonight I sat in the movie theater and completely forgot about all of my troubles, all of my worries and nothing else even mattered to me in the world except the universe James Cameron masterfully created in Avatar. I even forgot I was part of the human race as I sat […]
