Quick Review: Wanted

June 30th, 2008 · Comments

I initially had my reservations about this movie.  After seeing it, I was really impressed with the action stunts.  First, let me get the comparison to the graphic novel out of the way.  The movie deviated from a good deal of the story without actually changing the main overall plot and theme of the story.  [...]

Transformers DVD Review

October 30th, 2007 · Comments

The Transformers DVD far exceeds expectations. Everything about the movie is stunning. The effects, the sound, the story, and the acting are better than average.
