‘Land of the Lost’ Review

By

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 […]

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 Dark Knight’ Review

By

It’s the #1 movie of 2008 and the second-highest grossing film of all-time. And it’s out on video just in time to rake-in millions more in DVD sales for Christmas. “The Dark Knight” is not exactly a “family film.” It’s rated PG-13 because of loads of violence, disturbing images and some bad language. However, so […]

‘Hancock’ Review

By

I can describe “Hancock”, in two words: Very Odd. Hancock is a superhero who lives here on Earth and looks like a regular person. But he acts like a bum and is mean to everybody and even when he saves people he causes so much trouble that no one likes him. One day he saves […]
