Review: ANGEL HAS FALLEN, AKA #fakenews The Movie

It seems only fitting that a film so intent on parroting right-wing conspiracy theories in the guise of entertainment should be just as transparent and incomprehensible as the people who proffer such theories to the public in real life. The...

Review: LONDON HAS FALLEN, Rocking The Free World With Dubious Politics And Sadistic Tendencies

LONDON HAS FALLEN Trailer: "I Want You To Kill Me." Whatever You Say, Mr. President!

AnarchyVision: Jason Gorber Talks TMNT, THE GIVER, EXPENDABLES 3 And More!

Loads of end-of-season flicks to talk about, including the truly egregious TMNT, the barely-better-than-the-last-one Expendables 3, YA dystopian romp The Giver, and a brief shout-out to Frank and Calvary.Video embedded below...

Review: THE EXPENDABLES 3 Isn't Execrable...Mostly

"It's better than the last one!" Faint praise, perhaps, but given that Expendables films don't aim very high, it's probably praise that will be graciously accepted for The Expendables 3. Probably. It's fair to say the entire Expendables franchise...

Blow It Up Real Good With The New EXPENDABLES 3 Trailer!

And with a tweet it was so. Of course, there's so much we don't see behind the scenes, but Expendables mastermind Sylvester Stallone took to his Twitter today to make a double whammy of an announcement with this exclamation laden...

Review: WHITE HOUSE DOWN Lacks Colour, Depth

Way back several weeks ago, somewhere near the Ides of March, a magical little film was released about a bunch of terrorists taking over the White House. It was big, brash, bold and sometimes quite preposterous, but there wasn't a...

AnarchyVision: Talking SPRING BREAKERS, ADMISSION, and OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN

This week saw a bunch of films worth talking about, including what for me is the first non-awful Harmony Korine film Spring Breakers, the innocuous and thus disappointing Admission, and the best goddamn movie of the weekend, Olympus Has Fallen...

Review: I've Fallen For OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN

I think the only proper way to fully convey the power, the majesty, the sheer awesomeness of Olympus Has Fallen is to do so with the same level of bombastic hyperbole that the film exhibits. It's as if the...
