The Heap Reviews: Faster

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s expected return to the action genre hit theaters Wednesday, as he finally escapes the clutches of fluffy Disney scripts. Faster anoints Johnson’s character, only known as Driver, as an arbiter of vengeful fate, as he attempts to avenge the murder of his brother. The movie begins with Driver in a prison cell, where [...]

The Heap Reviews: Hot Tub Time Machine

Ah, the concept of time travel. We’ve seen this idea done in so many ways by so many different characters. We’ve seen it in books, TV shows, movies, and even music (I’m looking at you, Cher). H.G. Wells made the concept “mainstream” and well, it is here to stay. We’ve seen time machines in the [...]

The Heap Reviews “Bruno”

Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest character to make the jump from the famed “Da Ali G Show” to the silver screen is Bruno, a flamboyant homosexual fashion reporter. Cohen’s film Bruno makes it a point to incessantly and shamelessly flaunt the main character’s sexual orientation while trying to create some semblance of a plot. The previews [...]

The Heap Reviews “Public Enemies”

So You’re Sayin’ There’s a Chance!

Sometime it’s this quote from the movie Dumb and Dumber that gives hope to the long shots, especially when it comes to a really, really attractive girl. Rumor on the street is that Megan Fox broke off her engagement to some now insignificant dude (Brian Austin Green, whoever that is!). So I hear she’s single [...]

Bond, James Bond

I have anticipated this movie for MONTHS I tell you. Truth be told, I never was into the Bond movies. The only one I really liked was Goldeneye, and I can tell you that it mas mostly due to the sheer awesomeness of the videogame for Nintendo 64. A classic. After Goldeneye, I really feel [...]
