Directed by:  Brett Ratner

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Ian McShane, John Hurt, Rufus Sewell, Reece Ritchie, Peter Mullan, and Joseph Fiennes

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has had an incredibly interesting acting career.  After going too far astray from his action hero chops with films like The Tooth Fairy, Johnson rebooted his career with a new agent and has become one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood.  Starring in the Fast and Furious franchises, the G.I. Joe series,...

The Legend of Hercules





Directed By: Renny Harlin

Starring: Kellan Lutz, Gaia Weiss, Scott Adkins, Roxanne McKee, and Liam Garrigan

2014 is the comeback year for the sword-and-sandal picture.  Just look at the lineup at the box office in the coming months.  Russell Crowe will be building an ark to prep for some major floodwaters in Darren Aronofsky's Noah in a couple of months.  Christian Bale will be asking Pharaoh to let his people go as Moses in Ridley Scott's Exodus in the fall.  We've even g...

Wrath of the Titans





Directed By: Jonathan Liebesman

Starring: Sam Worthington, Rosamund Pike, Bill Nighy, Édgar Ramirez, Toby Kebbell, Danny Huston, Ralph Fiennes, and Liam Neeson

Wrath of the Titans has finally hit theaters.  This means we get to watch studios take a big crap all over Greek mythology for the millionth time.  I'm not a fan of the 2010 flick Clash of the Titans.  I'm also not a fan of Sam Worthington.  That being said, I went into Wrath of the Titans with pretty low expectations...

REVIEW: Let the Bodies Hit the Floor in Immortals

Immortals





Directed By: Tarsem Singh

Starring: Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, Isabel Lucas, Kellan Lutz, Freida Pinto, Mickey Rourke, and John Hurt
