(John Delia) 12/19/2010 9:32 PM EDT Gamers and action junkies will have a treat in store with the release of Tron: Legacy a computer game plot with spunk. The fast paced adventure may be a sequel, but plays well to first timers. If there is a downside to the film, it's that adults 35+ will probably not like or even understand the storyline. But, if your ilk is getti... Read More |

This movie was marketed incorrectly – it was shown in the trailers as bei... Read More |

(Chris Rebholz) 12/01/2010 3:23 PM EDT Faster is a classic revenge tale combined with the simplicity of the grindhouse movies of the 70's. After a steady career in wrestling Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson moved on from that arena to pursue a life of acting. Surprisingly he actually has solid comedic timing which can be seen from his appearances on Saturday Night Live. Naturally bec... Read More |
