The Wolverine is a standalone film, not because they’ve decided to pursue a Japanese thread to the popular comic book character, but because other films featuring Wolverine are too embarrassed to stand next to it.

They said it couldn’t be done. They were wrong. Who are ‘they’? Who cares… Despicable Me 2 is even better than the first one.

After Earth is an M. Night Shyamalan film. The director’s signature film is still The Sixth Sense and many would agree that his best years, while love-or-hate projects, surround this film. His most recent “blockbusters” have not lived up to his heyday with invisible, biological retaliation in The Happening and a wishy-washy animation to live-action […]
