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

The film starts off full throttle and though there were some down parts in the movie, for the most part it delivers quite the bang for the buck. It’s easy to enjoy this movie, but at the same time it’s easy to sit back and critique the shit out of it as well. The characters each … [Read more...] about Drive Angry 3D!
