max-payne

Max Payne had plenty of material to draw from. The video game offered a great world with great characters in a great plot. The movie Max Payne tarnishes the great video game in my opinion. There are little resemblance from the movie and the video game. In an interview, Mark Wahlberg refused to play the video game before shooting the film. I don't … [Read more...]

It was not a good start for Babylon A.D. when the director of the movie trashed the film and its distributor. Director Mahtieu Kassovitz blasted 20th century fox and the producers for not allowing him to edit or shoot way he wanted to. He told several media outlets that the film is "pure violence and stupidity." He likened the film to a bad episode … [Read more...]

Shia Labeouf, D.J. Caruso, and Steven Spielberg once again team up to bring a rather entertaining movie. The three collaborated on Disturbia with D.J. Caruso directing and Steven Spielberg producing. Being a big Spielberg fan, I almost always enjoy any film directed or produced by Spielberg. Disturbia was fairly decent thriller on its own. Eagle … [Read more...]

I don't think Don Cheadle has made a bad movie. There were mediocre movies with Don Cheadle in it but never through the fault of Don Cheadle. Don Cheadle has established himself as one of the finest actors in Hollywood. With movies like Hotel Rwanda, Crash and Traffic to his credit, he is always a threat for best actor award for Oscar. Even a … [Read more...]

The combination of Jason Statham and Paul W.S. Anderson should be a warning enough if you don't like mindless movies. Anderson is famous for the movies based on video games such as Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil franchise. While Resident Evil is tolerable, Mortal Kombat and few other movies directed by Anderson is utterly forgettable. Jason … [Read more...]

Although it's not as good as the original Indian Jones trilogy, The Mummy franchise is fairly good action/adventure movies on their own. With exception of the Scorpion King, I really enjoyed the two previous movies. These movies have right amount of action, adventure, and humor for everyone to enjoy. This installment takes place in China in the … [Read more...]

The sequel to the popular first movie. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian definitely moves into darker territory. I'm not sure if that's the reason why it did not do as well as the first one in the box office. I felt that the main characters being children limited its ability to move into darker story … [Read more...]

Even before the release of this movie, there have been tremendous amount of hype for both the movie and the late actor Heath Ledger. It's pretty rare for a movie to surpass the hype and meet the expectation. This movie does it without a sweat. Mike Nolan, director of Batman Begins, delivers a movie to remember. I think a lot of us have been … [Read more...]

I had some reservation about watching this movie. There have been a lot of negative review of this movie on the internet. People seem to bash it as Matrix copycat that fails to emulate Matrix's success. It has similar elements to Matrix such as reluctant hero and over the top action sequence and premise. After watching the movie, the complaints … [Read more...]
