Noah Review

Russell Crowes towering performance as Noah anchors this majestic if messy saga from the mind of Darren Aronofsky. There has been no Biblical Epic like this before, and very few studio tentpoles like it either. Noah never questions the job he has been tasked with. Who doesnt want to live in a beautiful, unspoiled world? (How we get there is another discussion for another place.) Make him some sort of perfect, saintly superhero and the story loses all of its emotional strength....

Sabotage Review

Alas, poor Arnold, we know you too well. And that was before the less than uplifting end to your gubernatorial legacy. Thus,Sabotagesbiggest misfire is its woefully miscalculated sense of seriousness and melodrama. She is also married to Breachers second-in-command, Monster, played by a surprisingly passable Sam Worthington. It is immediately confiscated from him and then disposed with. Afterwards, t sits there, mockingly, when the toilet water rushes over it. It is also the second consecutive scene inSabotageto literally rely on toilet humor for its entertainment....

Avengers Confidentialtakes place in theMarvel Animeuniverse, more notably as a follow-up toIron Man: Rise of the Technovore. Its put together by animation studio Mad House and written by comic scribe Marjorie Liu....

We find some origin mythos and a few explanations in this week’s episode of From Dusk Till Dawn. ThisFrom Dusk Till Dawnreview contains spoilers.

From Dusk Till Dawn: Blood Runs Thick Review

Last episode, I speculated hopefully about the Harvey Keitel-esque priest with his kids in a Winnebago. If you still dont know who he is… That symbol has been at the crime scenes of some cartel deaths. Richies knife, left behind at the store, has the same symbol on it. Aaaaaaaaaand…no more Kyle. As it turns out, Carlos isnt just your run-of-the-mill vampire. His fangs are like a snakes, and his eyes go all snake-like too....

The problem with 22 episode seasons

Is it time US TV networks slimmed down their season orders? Simon argues the case for shorter runs… Thats 33 weeks, over which a 22 episode season has in the past few months been dribbled out. Whilst the first ten episodes ran on a weekly basis, since then, its been anything but. If a show is doing particularly well, it might get the full order in one go. Particularly on a show as technically demanding asAgents Of SHIELD....

The top 10 best Pierce Brosnan films

Its a subject that utterly fascinates me, especially in the context of action movies. Tomorrow Never Dies You made your bed. The strengths ofTomorrow Never Diesare manifold. Frustratingly, though, Mr Arnold had also concocted a belter of an opener with k.d. lang entitledSurrender, but was overruled in favour of the more populist choice of Sheryl Crow by the producers. Cracking little moments, but ones that contribute towards an entirely rounded and solid Bond film....

Bette Davis, Joan Fontaine, and Hammer Horror

Characterisation often took a back seat to the heros story. Being as driven as she was, she was determined not to be put out to pasture.

Mobile still and more affable than rumor would have it. Wants steady employment in Hollywood. (Has had Broadway). Its a grand, demented performance....
