I hate the title. I’m wary of the director. And I’m unsure about the sequel potential. But this trailer for T4 has just got me excited.
I love the brief glimpses of a Mad Maxian world. I’m still unconvinced, but now I’m more curious than ever. That being said, the T3 Model 1 Hunter-Killer Terminators are [...]
I liked T3 more than I disliked it. The blinding ending was a huge factor in me liking it more. In fact, one of my favourite scenes in the whole Terminator franchise was filmed for T3 but didn’t make the cut. Why? Well, see for yourself . . .
Absolutely ridiculous, I think you’ll agree. I’m [...]
X-Files: I Want to Believe, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, Quantum of Solace, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull . . . and now Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.

I can’t believe they think this is [...]

#1. Trying to make every film PG-13. It’s inappropriate in many cases. Most genres aren’t suitable for children and by aiming for a stupid censorship label films are neutered beyond belief. When John McClane can’t even say his infamous, iconic catchphrase because children are watching, well something has gone badly wrong. It’s impossible to make [...]
