Back in 2000, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable was released to pretty decent reviews. I remember sitting in the theatre and not understanding where this film was headed AT ALL. In fact, I was pretty sure I didn't like the film. Then, when the film's twist ending came into play - I was singing another tune. This film had now become AMAZI... Read More

Face it… Fan-girls and boys, love Hellboy. And really, what's not to love? A red-skinned, snarky, Nazi-hating demon, which fights for and with, the good guys.
