film review: Sucker Punch (2011)
You remember when I said the trailer for Sucker Punch had everything but the kitchen sink in it? Yeah. Turns out the kitchen sink was sense. This was not as phenomenal a mess as The Spirit but it did have a few extra touches of outlandishness that only Zack Snyder is brave enough to throw [...]

I kinda get the impression that Zack Snyder’s one of those directors that some critics love to hate. He’s divisive. I had a look over on Metacritic and all his films got scores in the 50s from the critics… Yet they all got over 7 in the user ratings. The people like him. I like [...]
film review: Alice in Wonderland (3D) (2010)

review: The Spirit (2008)
I’d never really heard of The Spirit (the film or the comics) until I started seeing the tv ads about a week before it came out… I like the visual style and I’m interested in films of comic book stories but mostly what swung it was that it had Samuel L. Jackson in it. I’ll [...]
