‘Clash of the Titans’ Review

By

It was shot in 2D, then converted to 3D. But “Clash of the Titans” can be summed-up with just 1D, and that stands for DISASTER. When released in theaters earlier this year the movie had the 3-D worst of any film I’ve ever seen. And here’s why: the studio decided AFTER the movie was shot that […]

‘Avatar’ Review

By

It’s the highest-grossing movie of all-time, and millions of people will be buying DVD/Blu-ray copies. I won’t be one of them. “Avatar” is out on video.

‘Land of the Lost’ Review

There have been a lot of movies based on TV shows in recent years – some good, some not so good. “Land of the Lost” is based on the 1970’s Saturday morning kids show that became a cult-classic. Will Ferrell stars as Dr. Rick Marshall, a scientist who believes in the existence of a parallel […]

‘Terminator Salvation’ Review

By

The Terminator came “BAAACK” this summer, 25 years after the original film and 6 years since the most recent sequel. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really worth the wait. The main character in “Terminator Salvation” is a grown-up John Connor (played by Christian Bale) who continues to lead the resistance against the Terminator robots. Connor and the […]
