Pay attention Michael Bay, The Lego Movie is how you bring toys to the big screen. In fact, I don’t know the last time I was this impressed with the ingenuity and creativity of any movie, let alone an animated … Continue reading The Lego Movie (2014) Review
Of all the jobs you can present on-screen, you can’t help but make firemen cool. It’s a job where you fight fire, save people and risk your life on a (sometimes) daily basis. It surprises me that there isn’t more … Continue reading Backdraft (1991) Review
I don’t know the last time I was so infuriated and frustrated watching a movie. The Frighteners has so many good ideas but is delivered as a muddled, mess of a film. Considering it comes from the guy who has … Continue reading The Frighteners (1996) Review

The Raid is about the fight sequences and little else. This isn’t a huge, dramatic tale with many twists and turns which will keep the audience guessing from start to finish. It is a demonstration of different actors abilities within … Continue reading The Raid (2011) Review
