Hostage – Blu-ray Review

Aug 23, 2011, 18:18 GMT

Hostage arrives on Blu-ray and looks solid on the format. Even with a crystal clear picture, the film still has to be one of the worse Bruce Willis movies to come out in a long time. There are moments where it could have been good, but they are almost all ruined by the time the end credits roll.

The Mechanic - Blu-ray Review

May 23, 2011, 22:49 GMT

A remake of the 1972 action film, The Mechanic sees Jason Statham stepping into the role of a weary hit man that was first brought to the screen by film icon Charles Bronson. It is a solid performance from Statham, and a decent action flick – as long as you don’t expect much from the plot. ... more

The Mechanic – Movie Review

Jan 26, 2011, 15:30 GMT

Jason Statham plays what is by now his signature role – a rogue assassin with a heart of gold.  But what makes this something of a departure is that his character, Arthur, an elite assassin, commits a crime that doesn’t square with his own distinct hit man “moral” code.

Pandorum – Blu-ray Review

Jan 24, 2010, 12:27 GMT

A riff on ‘Alien’, ‘Solaris’, ‘Sunshine’, ‘The Descent’ and producer Paul W.S. Anderson’s own ‘Event Horizon’, Christian Alvart’s ‘Pandorum’ isn’t particularly original, but I imagine most sci-fi fans will respond to the effective production design, workable tension and strong leads that do their best to sell the material.  ... more

Pandorum – DVD Review

Jan 21, 2010, 11:43 GMT

Borrowing a little bit of this sci-fi film here and a little bit of that sci-fi movie there is the formula of Pandorum.  The results occasionally succeed, but familiarity breeds contempt and a rushed feel to the end.   ... more

DVD Review: Alpha Dog

May 6, 2007, 17:06 GMT

Based on a true story, Alpha Dog is a cautionary tale of wannabe gangsters, sex, drugs, and violence. The story manages to hold your attention – even if the acting is a bit shaky from time to time. ... more

Movie Review: Alpha Dog

Jan 10, 2007, 6:53 GMT

Every once in a while, a film you think you might not like hits you right between the eyes and you’re hooked. Alpha Dog, I was warned, is exceptionally violent and involves kids, drugs and murder. Instead, it was exciting, challenging and remarkably captivating. ... more
