Iron Man 3

The summer movie season is upon us!  As usual, superhero flicks will dominate this summer’s blockbusters.  Interestingly enough, we're seeing a changing of the guard this year.  With the end of Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy, the Man of Steel will be substituting for the Dark Knight.  For...

REVIEW: The Moonshine Bootlegging Bondurant Brothers May Think They're Invincible, But Lawless Shows All Their Flaws

Lawless





Directed By: John Hillcoat

Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Guy Pearce, and Dane DeHaan

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark





Directed By: Troy Nixey

Starring: Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce, and Bailee Madison


2011 has not been a particularly great year for horror flicks.  There's just been one waste of fake blood after another.  Bringing Guillermo del Toro into the horror fold for a run at producing Don't Be Afraid of the Dark was a beacon of hope.  His well-documented creativity and unique visuals would have been a welcomed addition to the genre.  It was supposed to be the light at the end of t...
