"Lord, please help me get one more."
-Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield)
In my five years writing for STMR, there's one prominent filmmaker whose movies I've not had the chance to review — the one and only Mel Gibson. There's a good reason for it. The Passion of the Christ director has maintained a pretty low standing in the court of public ...

Everest

Welcome back STMR readers! It's amazing how the box office kicks into high gear every year on the third weekend of September. It's like clockwork. The doldrums of late summer are now behind us, and the fall movie season is thankfully upon us. With it, we get a taste of more thought-provoking blockbusters as ...

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.

Man on a Ledge
Directed By: Asger Leth
Starring: Ed Harris, Sam Worthington, Elizabeth Banks, Anthony Mackie, Jamie Bell, and Génesis Rodriguez
In any heist flick, there's a certain amount of crap that filmmakers pull that will just never be believable, but we as moviegoers let it slide. We suspend our disbelief. InFast Five, did you really think Toretto and O'Conner were able to swap vaults with their team members while they were all driving at 80 to 90 miles per hour? In theOcean'sflick...

The Debt
Directed By: John Madden
Starring: Helen Mirren, Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain, and Tom Wilkinson
A good spy thriller always has twists and turns in the plot. It keeps you guessing for a while. A great spy thriller always has a badass lead. Steven Spielberg'sMunich is a strong example of a great spy thriller. All the drama, thrills, and plot twists were there, but those boys were kicking some ass in the process. With Helen Mirren starring in John Madden's The Debt, I was hopin... Continue reading ...
