Sam Worthington again flies a mythical creature that only he can ride | Review of “Clash of the Titans”
Let me get one thing out of the way. I saw this film in 2D. Why? Because James Cameron told me too. Why would Cameron of all people do that? Well, Titans was shot in 2D, yet after Avatar studios saw the higher ticket prices of 3D as a way to make more money. So Clash of the Titans then underwent a rushed 3D conversion process that would normally take six months in just about eight weeks.

Mad Mel is Back: Review “Edge of Darkness”
“Edge of Darkness” is the first film featuring a now middle aged 80s superstar in an action role to actually work. Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, and Sylvester Stallone’s recent attempts to revitalize their old franchises ended up leaving several bad tastes in our mouths. Now my problems with those films were never the actors. It was that the circumstances they found themselves in were increasingly ridiculous. Needless to say you won’t see a superhuman Gibson repeating all his old catchphrases in this film. This time it’s just a hard broiled cop out for revenge and kicking ass.
