Film Review: ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ Starring Kenneth Branagh, Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe
“I see the world as it should be.” And with that, a simple explanation for how Hercule (pronounced Air-kyool) Poirot is able to deduce mysteries so easily.

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Thor
Thor is arguably in the running for the best Marvel movies yet and is a pretty much non-stop blast of action, fun, and humor from start to finish; lead by star making turns by Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. Thor is a god, and the future king of Asgard, that wields a powerful hammer that […]

Here we have the first footage from next year’s summer opener, Thor. The footage was screened this year at San Diego Comic Con, and has now leaked onto the internet. The quality isn’t the greatest, but it much better than most leaked trailers tend to be. (A lot of them look as if they were […]
