Could it really be only six years since the Thor arm of the Marvel Cinematic Universe began? Because we just re-watched this in preparation for the third installment, and man, does this movie feel a lot older. Continue reading

Terminator Salvation (2009)
Ben
This had all the makings of a really cool film. An entire film set in the bleak future finally showing us the human war against the machines of Skynet sounded awesome, the fact that it was led by fanboy icon and the rescuer of the Batman franchise, Christian Bale, was all the more reason to get excited.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

I feel bad for this movie. How do you possibly follow up the first two films, which are both marvels in terms of storytelling and special effects? Both of the earlier Terminator films paced the industry and took special effects to a new level.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

Compared to the rest of the films in this series, I’m not that into The Two Towers. Fellowship of the Ring is the fun beginning (I tend to favor the first movie in any series over the rest) and The Return of the King is the climactic conclusion. The Two Towers… this is a middle movie that serves as a bridge and not much else. Continue reading

I have nothing but luke warm feelings towards Tomorrow Never Dies. From the main titles to the explosive ending I was mostly bored. This is a pretty lame James Bond film, though far from the worst in the series. (That’s coming.) Continue reading
