This horrendously awful interpretation or (in Hollywoodspeak) re-imagining of Greek mythology, makes the rebooted Clash of the Titans seem intellectual. The story focuses on the Titans being incarcerated in Mount Tartarus by the Gods and there’s only one thing that can … Continue reading →

We actually saw this in movie theaters and I can’t remember why we went. I think we were bored on a Saturday morning, the Tinsel Town 20 was nearby and we were jonsin’ for the The Fellowship of the Ring … Continue reading →

Another documentary with great intentions and an incredible amount of interviewees (see below) but falls down too many times in its execution to be recommended without serious reservations. The director should’ve hired an editor who understood how less can be … Continue reading →
