Red – Movie Review

Oct 14, 2010, 14:53 GMT

Red is the coolest installment in the ages old battle between old and young, experience and wanna-be-ism, and pure against -the-tide rebellion.

Wanted (Two-Disc Special Edition) – DVD Review

Dec 4, 2008, 10:55 GMT

'Wanted' precariously straddles the line between over-the-top action sequences so absurd they become fun and scenes that are simply ludicrous. Aiming for a fusion of 'The Matrix' and 'Fight Club', the film’s frequent outlandish action falls more squarely in 'Transporter' territory with all the pros and cons that comparison entails. ... more
