"So, you lied? You weren't a minute late . . . you were two minutes late?" Swift shot: Filthy, fantastic, & funny - it's "9 to 5" meets "Strangers on a Train".

Swift shot: I promise not to throw out some cheesy "X-cellent" or "X-quisite" or even "X-ceptional" in this review, it's too tempting to play on that - and this latest film, directed by Matthew "Kick Ass" Vaughn stands alone yet masterfully incorporates the elements that made me love the original X-Men films. … [Read more...] about X-Men: First Class
