Willard (2003) Review
Glover is watchable in that what the hell is he going to do next kind of way.
Movie Reviews
With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story (2010) Review
With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story: 7 out of 10: A documentary, released in 2010, tells the story of Marvel figurehead Stan the Man basically in his own words.
The Cavern (Within) (2005) Review
The Cavern is a pretty lousy film, poorly shot with a confusing, improbable and anticlimactic ending.
Wordplay (2006) Review
Wordplay is a documentary about such people and the puzzles they love. Like the New York Times resident cruciverbalist Will Shortz, Wordplay is genial to a fault.
Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead (2014) Review
Note to Australian filmmakers. Stop trying to be Peter Jackson. Also if you are going to go to all the trouble to rent camera equipment and hire actors why not write a story down and film that.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) Review
X-Men Origins: Wolverine:… I have Gambit in the Deadpool
Guardians (Zashchitniki) (2017) Review
Guardians (Zashchitniki) 7 out of 10: The Russian take on the superhero genre is derivative and takes a lot from some American mainstays, but you know what it isn’t all that bad in a go big or go home kind of way.
X2 (2003) Review
X2 Review Soap Opera in Comic Book Form
Xchange (2001) Review
Xchange 7 out of 10: Any movie that starts out with the premise that society has purposely cloned hundreds of Stephen Baldwins embarks with one foot in the grave.
Hero (Ying Xiong) (2002) Review
Hero is a frustrating movie since the lack of emotional investment keeps one at such a distance that all you can do is admire the pretty pictures. Credit where credit is due they deliver those pretty pictures in spades.
