REVIEW: VALIANT

Valiant surely seemed a good idea in the planning stage. A CGI feature about homing pigeons in WWII battling it out with evil German falcons? The basis is there for a nice little cartoon. Add voices like Ewan McGregor, Ricky Gervais, John Hurt, John Cleese… Continue reading

REVIEW: FOUR BROTHERS

Where have you gone Dirty Harry and Paul Kersey? This is the question that John Singleton is trying to answer with his new film, Four Brothers. Going against the grain of current films, filled with wimpy girly-men action stars like the feyer than Wray Orlando… Continue reading
