Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

This review was written by my Film Swappers partner, Chris Ranson. You can follow Chris on twitter @Wolverinefactor. Title: Star Trek Into Darkness Runtime: 132 minutes Director: J.J.

Movie Review – Jurassic Park (1993)

Title: Jurassic Park (1993) Runtime: 127 minutes Director: Steven Spielberg — What better way to kick-off the summer blockbuster movie season than by watching one of the best of its kind, Jurassic Park?

The film’s strongest point is its practical effects. The blood and gore look great,…


Movie Review – Alien Origin (2012)

Title: Alien Origin (2012) Runtime: 88 minutes Director: Mark Atkins — The Asylum has the potential to surprise every so often (Paranormal Entity is a better film than Paranormal Activity; there, it’s been said), which is why I get excited whenever a new film of theirs comes out (which is practically weekly at this point)….


Disc Deals – Die Hard Collection and The O.C. are Amazon’s DOTW

Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker! Amazon has two excellent deals for us this week, one a wonderful teen television series, and the other one of the baddest ass action franchises of all-time. Branden ChowenBranden has been a film fan since he was young, roaming the halls of Blockbuster Video, trying to find the grossest, scariest looking VHS covers…
