Rambo is one of the most violent films I have ever seen. Its climax, which involves at least 100 deaths, is frightening. Some of the scenes earlier on made me
Rambo: First Blood Part II marks one of the biggest missed opportunities that I can think of when it comes to the movies. It manages to still make for a
I can see what the filmmakers were going for with Rambo: First Blood Part II. The first film introduced us to the character of John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone), a Vietnam

Olympus Has Fallen is the best Die Hard movie of 2013. Sure, it’s not a canonical Die Hard film, but it’s Die Hard in tone, spirit and structure, and it’s better than the official fifth instalment in
Anything for Her (Pour elle en Français) is a prison break movie, although like its title indicates, it’s much more than that. It’s far more concerned about a man’s affection

The Golden Compass is a film that seems as if it’s going to build up to something fantastic, but fizzles out far before it reaches that point. Ending on a
Don’t believe the title of this film. You should definitely be afraid of the dark. Not because it’s scary, but because it’s a boring, time-waster of a movie. It opens
2008’s Punisher: War Zone is the third attempt at bringing Marvel’s infamous anti-hero to the big screen, after a bargain-basement 1989 adaptation and a 2004 picture with Thomas Jane. While this reviewer
