Valkyrie
This honestly is a hard movie to review. We can give away the plot, since it's based on a true story (they don't kill Hitler), so all that's left is the technical aspects of the film.

The Day the Earth Stood Still
When making a remake there are usually a few options. From what I understand, Gus Van Sant's, Psycho, was almost shot-for-shot. We have also seen general updates (Ocean's 11 or The Italian...
Transporter 3

Pride and Glory
The police-drama, as an art-form, usually centers on family and betrayal. The world of a police officer is a pressure cooker of low wages, an absolute code of honor, and danger. The occupa...

Quarantine
The story behind Quarantine is brutally simple: something--some disease--breaks out in a low-rent building in Los Angeles. It just so happens that a film crew shadowing a fire department t...
