“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Movie Review

We are all caught up (it only took us, what, 10 years?) after watching “Wolverine” on Blu-Ray this weekend. Simply put, this is the story of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and his brother Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber) starting when they were kids then fighting in several wars (Civil, WWI, WWII, and as Mercenaries) and finally…

Movie Review: “Bad Teacher”

“Bad Teacher” is a better movie than the trailer suggests. Cameron Diaz (as Elizabeth Halsey) is shallow.

“The Tourist” Movie Review

Still great…..still funny…..and Wolverine still tells them fuck-off in one of the best movie scenes EVER! 🙂 “X-Men First Class” is a prequel to the three original X-Men movies.
