The thing about “Iron Man” is… Hell, I’ll just go right out and say it:
“Iron Man” is superflously, super-duperly super-awesome!
And I don’t mean that old clichéd brand of “awesome” that pop culture has rendered mundane; the nerd’s equivalent of a normal person’s ‘”wow, that’s cool”. Not that “Iron Man” isn’t cool or wow-worthy [...]

Iron Man
Hellboy
‘Hellboy’ is a gob-smackingly brilliant superhero movie right from the first scene till the very end. I loved it, and it will down in history as a ‘how-to-do-it’ guide for movie-makers trying to break through in a very capitalistic industry that seems to have mostly forgotten why people loved films to begin with. Do yourself [...]
Charlie Wilson’s War
I don’t review nearly enough movies.
Or, at least that’s what my statistics keep hissing into my ear while it’s pressing a broken bottle under my chin, rambling madly that my technorati ranking is due to drop five points the next week if I don’t “shape the f*ck up”. Whenever I happen to find myself in [...]
I Am Legend (No, Really!)
Will Smith movies aren’t generally what you’d call master pieces. Some of them actually suck quite a lot (i.e”Wild, Wild West”, “Bad Boys 2″), but they always manage to entertain me as a viewer, and that’s more than what I can of some other Big Movie Stars (yes, I’m looking at you, Tom Cruise, you [...]
Cloverfield
This one’s been making a lot of buzz around the interwebs when it was first released, but as always I wasn’t in a geographical position to take part in the fun. It seemed that there were only two camps for those who’ve watched it, one for those who thought it was a poorly made spoof [...]
Jumper
What’s that smell?
Can’t you smell it?
My God, you must be nasally impaired or something; this film literally reeks of shit. And no wonder, what with it being the gigantic turd it is.
O.K, so maybe I’m laying it on a bit too thick. It’s isn’t as if “Jumper” is as big a turd of a movie [...]
The Birds, or, Oh Noes - Not da Seagulls!
I’ve never seen a Alfred Hitchcock movie, which is mostly due to the natural fact that I’m a part of a different generation and also because I’ve never really bothered to seek out his famed “masterpieces”. But this was an error that needed to be remedied - and quickly too! - for you can’t fully [...]
28 Weeks Later
I don’t like horror movies. They either scare the crap out of me or they take themselves too seriously, thus making them more like surreal comedy flicks. But for some reason I really like watching zombie films, even if also zombies have a great potential for comedy gold (i.e. “Shawn of the Dead”, “Planet [...]
The Bourne Ultimatum
Before “Casino Royale” was released last year around these times, I’d have said that Jason Bourne is everything James Bond was supposed to be. The two first movies in this trilogy are, if memory serves, both really gritty, thrilling and with a plot with an actual human angle that makes it all the more interesting. [...]
Transformers
Kinda had to watch this, didn’t I? Not only is it one of this summers big blockbusters - it’s a blockbustin’ sci-fi movie, which always makes me want to rent it even though I know it’s gonna be bad.
This picture pretty much covers what I’ll be remembering from “Transformers”. It’s not the robots or the [...]
