Reign of Fire is high budget, mainstream Action movie. One of the things that made me wanna watch it is the theme, and that’s dragon hunting, with lots of high quality special effects. It`s full of cliché`s and classic story twists, but if you accept it as cool action movie with dragons in it, you [...]

After the first Street Fighter movie from 1994 with Jean-Claude Van Damme I thought that they will let this brand go to waste, but with the release of the new Street Fighter video game they decided to make another one. Not much to say about the movie, you already know what it is going to be [...]
When I saw the name Luc Besson (Fifth Element, Taxi…) in the opening credits I knew that this is going to be a good movie. Liam Neeson plays retired CIA operative who is divorced and desperate to spend some time with his 17 year old daughter. When his lovely daughter gets herself kidnapped in Europe [...]
Another cult flick that you must see. Four crazy friends, drugs and fucked up bad trips are taglines of this fast-paced and non-compromising movie. Renton, played by Ewan McGregor, is the most normal one among them; well at least he is trying, if you can call it that. There are so many good scenes and [...]
Here`s another blast from a past, and a proof that you can make a somewhat original hitman movie, although it bases its story on classical premise of a hitman who develops feelings. Excellent cast with young Natalie Portman who will launch her carrier after this flick, because everyone wanted to know who was that cute [...]
Yeah this is a remake of a 1986 classic, and yes I am not going to review the classic. Why, because its classic and you know it’s good and worth seeing, but if have not seen either of these movies, take look at a newer one first. A crazy psycho John Ryder (played disturbingly well [...]
A little older movie, but still with good visual quality (I think that even today they are making movies that look much crappier than this one). The whole movie has that cool dark vibe to it; tag line is war between heaven and hell, with its peons, minions and victims. Al Simmons is hitman who [...]
Now here`s an action-packed, high-paced movie starring Clive Owen and beautiful Monica Bellucci (she does not have to do anything just stand and her performance will be great (damn you Vincent Cassel (her husband))). There are brief moments of Clive Owen not shooting anyone, so if you are expecting that kind of flick (the title [...]
I hope that you will overcome language differences and see this South Korean movie, because it`s a fuckin master piece. Oh Dae-Su was imprisoned for fifteen years but not in jail, when he is finally released he`s looking for blood and reason for his incarceration. Ultimate story of built up anger and revenge with lots [...]
I do not know why people do not like this movie, story is ok, production values are great, acting average( with the exception of Ben Kingsley who cannot act bad even if he tries). I guess the book was much better, but what can you do. Anyway classic action slash science fiction flick with time [...]
Dakota Fannning in a action-fantasy movie? Yeah, I was suprised too. Imagine X-Men done with the different vibe, more of manga influence than of a western comic. So there are people in the world with special abilities, who can read minds, push objects, see the future, yadda yadda, and two of them must get there [...]
Lots of big names in this one, so it can`t be that bad, although its classic love with problems movie, but cutely done. Story revolves around a revolver, also known as The Mexican. This Mexican, wanted by several people, is located in Mexico, and they send clumsy Brad Pitt to get it. James Gandolfini kicked [...]
Both movies are ok, but I think that the first one was way better. The other one has a different feel to it, more tormented, nothing to lose, not so happy feel, unlike the first one which was more lively and happy feel to it. And then again, lots of gore and cool effects in [...]
Another alien invasion movie, this time it’s based on a 1951 classic. Keanu Reeves did a good job portraying senseless and rational alien messenger (his I’ve got nothing in my head look this time payed off, for the first time since Bill and Ted). I just can`t figure out what are Jennifer Connelly and John [...]
Here`s another Jason Statham action, tough guy flick. This time he`s moving in on Vin Diesels territory with a car racing movie, so he better watch out. This is a remake of a 1975 classic Death Race 2000, and since there are no death races and its 2009 they had to make a movie. Lots [...]
They chose Mark Wahlberg to play Max Payne, troubled police detective, haunted by the memories of his dead family, not the smartest thing. Yeah, he looks like him, but he just does not have the capacity to revive this video game character. Anywhoo, great production values, that means fuckin awesome effects, especially of snow and [...]
