Movie Review: BLACK ADAM Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Pierce Brosnan
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the biggest action star in the world, and rightfully so. He’s made movies where he blows sh*t up, fires big guns, wrecks cars, jumped off buildings, fought domestic terrorists, defeated a giant ape and even went head-to-head with an earthquake. The man has done it all. So, it’s pretty clear […]
Movie Review: Disney’s JUNGLE CRUISE Starring Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Jack Whitehall
Back in 2003, Disney captured lightning in a bottle with Pirates of the Caribbean, based on their popular theme park rides in Anaheim and Orlando. As fun as those rides are, never in my wildest imagination did I think they would translate into one of the greatest modern blockbusters of our era. If it worked […]
Movie Review: ‘Fighting With My Family’ Starring Florence Pugh, Vince Vaughn, Dwayne Johnson
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Movie Studios has given us no reason to think any film that comes out of their camp will be any good. From box office duds like The Marine and 12 Rounds, and a plethora of straight to DVD films, the company does not have a credible track record. Well, maybe that […]
Film Review: ‘Rampage’ Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Malin Akerman
Overall, when it comes to adapting video games into film, the ratio of good to bad is staggering. This year, we’re one for one with a faithful adaptation of Tomb Raider and now Rampage. I don’t know what it is that screenwriters and directors don’t get when it comes to creating that bridge to transition […]
96: ‘San Andreas’ Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario
It’s Tangent-palooza this week as we tackle (eventually) San Andreas. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wages a one-man war against earthquakes…or something like that. Also, Paul Giamatti apparently showed up on set one day and filmed an entirely different movie. All this plus a Video Recovery from Dan. It’s Reel Spoilers #96 – San Andreas. You’ve […]
Movie Review: ‘Furious 7’ Starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker
If you were to show someone the original film of the Fast and Furious series, and skip them directly to Furious 7, they’d most likely have trouble believing the two are part of the same series. The original film, The Fast and the Furious, was a Point Break ripoff that replaced extreme sports with illegal street […]
‘Terminator’ Reboot Confirmed by Paramount for 2015 Release Date – No Mention of Arnold Schwarzenegger
We don’t know for sure if he’ll be back. But we do know that the Terminator franchise will be. Paramount confirmed this week that the first in a stand-alone trilogy of Terminator films will hit theaters on June 26, 2015. The picture will be produced by Skydance Productions and Annapurna Pictures, and distributed by Paramount. There was no mention […]
Movie Review: ‘Pain & Gain’ Starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie
Michael Bay has been responsible for a number of less than stellar films over the years. Some of them were downright stinkers, i.e. Transformers: Dark of the Moon. He has also been a producer on some of absolutely horrid remakes, i.e. The Hitcher and A Nightmare on Elm Street. So, when I heard he was […]
Wrestlemania 29 Review: John Cena Beats The Rock to Become WWE Champion
After watching Wrestlemania 29 last night, one would figure that the WWE would have put on a better show. I’m not saying the WrestleMania 29 was bad, but it wasn’t incredible either. Thinking back to the pay-per-view, I’m left with a glass half empty feeling. One of the main problems for me was the crowd. The crowd […]
