By

Will Ferrell has been known to do some wacky things in his movies. And his performance in the “The Other Guys” is no exception.

Angelina Jolie has played a wide variety of characters in her movie career – from Lara Croft to Mrs. Smith to the Tigress in the animated hit “Kung Fu Panda”. But her latest role may be the toughest of them all, because she may be a Russian spy. Or maybe not. That’s the premise of […]

‘Robin Hood’ Review

By

The story of Robin Hood has been told many times on the big screen, with the likes of Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner and an animated Disney fox playing the title role. There isn’t any “robbing from the rich and giving to the poor” in this latest version, because it’s a “prequel” to the story that […]

‘Iron Man 2’ Review

By

The original “Iron Man” was the surprise hit of 2008, making over $315 million. And it re-launched Robert Downey Jr.’s career. Two year’s later Downey returned in “Iron Man 2” and it got the summer of 2010 off to a nice start. The DVD comes 3-ways: Single disk, 2-disk digital copy edition and the 3-disk […]
