Hellboy II: The Golden Army - Review

Wednesday, July 9, 2008

The original Hellboy was only a minor success, and a mediocre film, raking in $99 million world wide on a $60 million budget. A sequel was not a certainty. Thanks to brisk DVD sales and the subsequent success of director Guillermo Del Toro’s Pans Labyrinth, the green light was given to Hellboy II: The Golden [...]

When I first saw Stardust on the shelf of my neighborhood Movie Gallery, I didn’t have the highest expectations. I haven’t really been into fairy tales since the age of seven, and I definitely didn’t expect to find one that swept me away in 2008. So, why did I rent it? Intrigue. My lack of expectations [...]

When I heard that there was going to be a new Hulk film made I immediately thought that Edward Norton should be cast as Dr. Banner, honestly. I also though that another Hulk film would have to be great to erase the memory of the 2003 version, that nearly caused the comic [...]

What may not surprise any of us is how quickly this movie made the “jump” from cinemas to DVD, but what can one expect when the human cardboard cut-out is the leading man. Sorry Hayden, but you really should be looking for roles that are not so “I am misunderstood, I [...]

We once again find Benjamin Gates (Nicolas Cage) caught up in a whirlwind of conspiracy theories, obscure clues, and of course, treasure hunting. Although the story feels somewhat contrived, the adventure is the star of this film and manages to fit more globe-spanning locales, thrills, and clues than the first. The entire cast returns for [...]
