Starring Christian Bale and Sam Worthington. Directed by McG.

Duplicity Movie Review
This romance comedy stars Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. Julia Roberts works for the CIA and Clive Owen for MI6 (the same group James Bond works for.) It’s 125 minutes long and is rated PG-13. The film has kind of an Ocean’s 11 feel to it as the two set out to out-scheme 2 rival [...] -
The Watchmen

RocknRolla
Directed by Guy Ritchie. 114 minutes, rated R. I watched this film on Sunday and I still have absolutely no idea what to write about. The film is directed in a similar fashion to Snatch where a bunch of different characters are all up to something and each and every one of their lives intersects with [...] -
