LOOPER movie Review

Chris Burns — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 20:19:35 +0000

Any review of the movie LOOPER that tells you essentially any elements of the plot is going to be written by a jerk who doesn’t want you to get the full movie experience – take that to the bank. What we’re going to talk about here and now is how you need to see the

Total Recall (2012) Movie Review

Chris Burns — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 05:00:53 +0000

The 2012 version of Total Recall begins with Colin Farrell bloodied and beaten lying on the floor of a room that quickly becomes a barrage of flashing lights and gunshots – then suddenly the movie is over. This movie does not let up the action to the point where several times during the film I

Men in Black III IMAX 3D Movie Review

Chris Burns — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 17:38:08 +0000

When we spoke with Ken Ralston and Jay Redd of Sony Pictures Imageworks, they described this movie just as it was: a collection of plausible alternate realities. It is at this point in the Men in Black series that they’re able to take for granted the fact that most of their audience will have seen

Prometheus Movie Review and Red Carpet Coverage

Vincent Nguyen — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 01:42:40 +0000

Alien was all about dark, ominous spaces and a sense of intense claustrophobia and mounting tension – in part due to Ridley Scott’s withholding of the final Xenomorph in all its glory as the film reached its climax (along with hiding its comparably low-tech costume). Prometheus is the CGI-overspilling, determinedly 3D and generally expansive movie

Battleship Movie Review

Chris Burns — Sun, 20 May 2012 18:41:57 +0000

While this summer has no lack of action adventure movies going for it, what with the likes of The Avengers, Prometheus, and The Dark Knight Rises on deck, Battleship is prepared to be the cleanest selection of the group. The blockbuster category requires that a movie be spectacularly large in its on-screen scope, and the

Transformers: Dark of the Moon Review

Philip Berne — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:33:41 +0000

I will admit that I am a hater. An overwhelming majority of my movie reviews on SlashGear have been negative. When they were positive, they were usually reviews for pretentious Oscar-fodder like Black Swan. I’m more likely to hate movies that other people liked, and I pride myself more on hating those movies in new

Movie Review: Thor

Philip Berne — Tue, 10 May 2011 21:32:15 +0000

When I first heard about the “Thor” movie, I had the same reaction as most folks I know. “Thor? Really?! Thor?” Couldn’t we just have another Hulk movie instead? Did the “Power Man and Iron Fist” script not turn out the way they hoped? Until I was about 16, I was an avid comic collector,

Movie Review: Avatar Special Edition

Philip Berne — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:45:26 +0000

It’s obvious why “Avatar” was released again, and perhaps a little selfish on the part of the money makers. Near the end of its run, “Avatar” was pushed off a majority of its 3D screens by up-and-comers that couldn’t do long term damage, but perhaps shortened the length of the blockbuster’s victory lap. The movie

Movie Review – Piranha 3D

Philip Berne — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:24:10 +0000

Let me start out with a spoiler: “Piranha 3D” is awful. If you bought a ticket thinking you were going to see a good horror movie, either you didn’t see the ads, or you missed the movie’s “For Your Consideration” video on Funny or Die, in which the stars ask for some Oscar consideration for
