When the dust settles the winner of best 2010 action team-up film is…
Hollywood loves to shell out similar films in a given year, (Dante’s Peak and Volcano, Deep Impact and Armageddon) and 2010 is no exception. This year the old school action team-up made a comeback with movies like, The Losers, The A-Team, and The Expendables with varying results. So, I thought it would be in fitting with the spirit of those films to pit them against one another, and see which one comes out on top. Here are the 2010 action team-up awards. Steroids are encouraged.

Finally! Some explosions | Review of “The A Team”
It’s been a boring summer season. Not a single film I’ve seen stands out in my mind, Robin Hood anyone? For me it’s up to Christopher Nolan to save the summer with this thriller, Inception. So imagine my surprise when the first film to feel like a real blockbuster is based off everyone’s favorite cheesy 80s TV Show, The A Team.
Now, I never had high hopes for The A Team movie. I loved the show when I was 13, but remember next to nothing about the characters, save for Mr. T’s haircut. Yet, under the direction of Joe Carnahan the flick has a real sense of fun that never lets up for a minute. Read the rest of this entry »
Caption Kangaroo- Captions and the City 2
Well hi there. My name’s Ms. Mack, and I like funny captions. Hence my column, “Caption Kangaroo”. The concept is simple- I will take screen shots from movies both good and bad and write funny things about said photos. Commence with the giggling.

Return to Nottingham | Review of Robin Hood
This weekend Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe presented us with the newest re-imaging of the classic folklore hero of Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood. From Ridley Scott I was expecting something of a gritty realistic version of the character, that would show what it would be like if such a man had existed. What I got instead was about half of a gritty retelling, and the other half felt like the first act of a Hollywood retread.

Top Five Ridley Scott Films
With Ridley Scott’s newest film Robin Hood opening this weekend, I decided to create a personal top five list of his films. I believe that Ridley Scott is a brilliant filmmaker and an impressive world builder. His presence can always be felt in his films through his visual style and iconic imagery. He usually tackles complicated stories with deep themes and meanings. At times his films falter and some could argue that he has had three late decade slumps (1989 – Black Rain, 1996/97 – White Squall and G.I. Jane, 2006 – A Good Year). That said, Ridley Scott is immensely talented and will always execute his films with absolute perfection. Read the rest of this entry »
