Posted on August 18, 2012 by Joel Hilke

Someone opened a can of macho and pored it over me – saw Expendables 2 and I can say I enjoyed it more than the first flick… and the first flick was an ok action flick so this is a … Continue reading →

Total Recall (2012)

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Joel Hilke

Total Recall remake is not the 1990s movie… only it is, just a lot less fun, a lot less interested in its mind-bending premise, and a lot less exciting. It is a lot more serious and it looks a lot … Continue reading →

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Posted on June 27, 2012 by Joel Hilke

Believe it or not, there’s a movie out at the theaters right now called Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter… and it’s very serious (not tongue-in-cheek) and it’s marginally good. Produced by Tim Burton, directed by Timur Bekmenatov (that’s easy for me … Continue reading →
