The Oscars have not been the same in a long time. Whether you blame it on the economy, the strike last year, bad or boring movies or lack of mainstream fame. The ratings last year were there lowest since 1974. Yeah - I was born that year - ouch. It peaked in 1998 when The [...]

A year ago today, a gargantuan beast slithered from the freezing Atlantic and destroyed our city, the greatest testament to the power of mankind, New York.
The incident, which was classified by the government as “Cloverfield” remains one of the most popular documentaries of our time, the incident proved too catastrophic for the government to classify, [...]
Now, apparently David Cronenburg has directed a lot of good movies (The Fly, Scanners, etc.), but I had only seen one of them prior to veiwing Eastern Promises. A History of Violence is that movie, and yeah it kicks 12 levels of ass… Like its awesome and stuff. So when I saw that there was [...]
I apologize it has been so long for me to report this. Those that know me understand wrestling is high up there on my fun list. I will try not to be biased, but this movie really rocked. Those that really follow pro wrestling know that there is much much more than what you see [...]
Clint Eastwood is the quintessential bad ass - he doesn’t even need a gun just a finger and a cocked thumb -, and in Gran Torino he just proves that being 72 isn’t going to effect that at all.
Over his career, Clint Eastwood has time and time again established himself as probably the best anti-hero in cinematic history, whether it be a rogueish cowboy (Sergio Leone movies), a dirty harry (all those dirty harry’s), a fake dirty harry (the gauntlet), another cowboy (Unforgiven) or an angry old man carved out of drift wood [...]

Hey folks, it’s Wayne.
Listen.
David Goyer and me, we go Way(ne) back, I mean, dude wrote the script of The Dark Knight…so…class act right?
Well, in the field of metallurgical alchemy there’s an instance known as the Midas touch…wherein an individual with this skill is able to turn whatever they manhandle into solid gold. I dare say [...]
Ah, yes Rock Solid is back again with the second part of his top 5 movie deaths. He also hates talking in the third person but is used to it due to Facebook status updates.
Number 2 in the list of my favorite movie deaths would most deffinately have to be the death of Emil Antonowsky [...]
10. Cloverfield- A very interesting use of narrative updated the “giant monster destroys a hub of civilization” genre. Yeah, the characters were forgetful, but the movie wasn’t about them, it was about the event and making Wayne cry himself to sleep at night.
9. Burn After Reading- Probably the most underrated movie of the year. Everyone’s [...]
