Shaken? Stirred? - Magneto is James Bond!?!? 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

Suffice it to say, Insidious will force you to fight your urge to scream and will push the intellectual envelope even further. Josh (Patrick Wilson: The Watchmen, … [Read more...] about Insidious
