Leave it to the Wachowski Brothers to take a cartoon from the 60s and turn it into an epic summer blockbuster – with enough CGI that would even make George Lucas a little envious. Yes, the latest from the directors of the Matrix trilogy has arrived, and it’s a solid summer popcorn flick...

When I was younger it was easy to say I was a fan of Keanu Reeves. Growing up on Keanu action flicks like Point Break, Speed and classic comedies like Bill and Ted made it easy to like the guy. While I still remain a fan of his today, it is a little harder...

Last week The Ruins was released, and while it wasn’t the great horror masterpiece I was hoping it might turn out to be, it was a huge eye opener. An eye opener in the sense that it was actually a decent horror flick, something that seems to becoming a rarity...
