The industry felt as thought it were time for another three musketeers revival. Forgetting about the distant past, Disney created a film in the 90s with Kiefer Sutherland, Oliver Platt, Charlie Sheen, et. al. In 2000, our resident bad-guy doctor on “Grey’s Anatomy,” Justin Chambers in addition to Mena Suvari starred in Universal’s adaptation “The Musketeers.” Summit has now gotten in on the action and created an offspring of what would happen if the previous two films were to spawn.
“The Three Musketeers” is predictable from beginning to end. In fact, I was floored by the amount of dialogue in the opening that was carbon copy that of the Disney version. I simply couldn’t believe. You could literally take the pages of the Disney version and apply the new actors and come up with the first act of this new musketeers’ ...

It is becoming more and more rare that I end up agreeing with the mass public about the status of a recent film. Perhaps I am becoming obsolete in terms of what is deemed a good movie nowadays. Or maybe I am just too jaded. Either way, I will continue on here with my thoughts on “Real Steel.”
Somehow this film is rated by many critics and the general population as one of the best movies of 2011. I’m sorry. I just don’t see it. Not even remotely. It is beyond contrived with acting the teeters on acting. It is just that simple. Anyone who can’t see at least a dozen previously released films rolled up in this one obviously hasn’t seen very many films.
“Real Steel” is more than just predictable, contrived, derivative. This film is the first film that was ...

It is hard to believe that it has been 20 years already since the release of the “The Rocketeer.” This film was the action-hero blockbuster to beat before the days of CGI-oriented robots and super-powered figures hit the screen summer after summer.
The film isn’t the best in terms of pacing, but it has a neat story that uniquely fictionalizes the history of Howard Hughes and Nazism while at the same time bringing to light some of the actual events of the era.
Bill Campbell stars as Cliff, a test/show pilot who comes across a new rocket device that can propel him into the air without the need for wings or strings. The lovely Jennifer Connelly is the leading lady, gracing the screen with her beauty.
Unfortunately for Cliff, the rocket is a desired item by Nazi stooges, Howard Hughes and the FBI. ...

“Conan The Barbarian” needless to say is a remake of the original cult classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. I was never really a fan of the original film, and unfortunately the remake doesn’t merit any increase in interest in the series of Conan films.
The film itself lacks a consistent nature. There are a few riveting moments, but they are far outweighed by the dull and contrived moments of the film. The events unfold without logic. I lost count how many times the film bounces from one sequence to another with no logical explanation as to how the characters came by the knowledge.
The plot is a simple revenge story. Conan longs to take revenge for the death of his father by an unnamed conqueror. Of course, the information needed to avenge his father’s death falls into his lap many years later. There ...

This a review of the 3D version of “G-Force.” See the 3D Video section for updated information regarding this title’s 3D quality. The remainder of the 3D release is identical to the previous “G-Force” Blu-ray release, including audio options and special features. This package simply includes a Blu-ray 3D disc in addition.There isn’t much to say about “G-Force.” It is a relatively thin film that offers entertainment for kids. The film takes the same spy kid genre story and hands it over to talking guinea pigs. Despite low ratings by viewers, the film did take in about $140 million at the box office. That isn’t too shabby.“G-Force” stars three guinea pigs, a fly and a mole as super spies that have been trained by a forgotten department of the Federal Bureau. When their funding is about to be taken away, ...
