Mad Max: George Miller’s vision of an apocalyptic future set in the wastelands of Australia. Total social decay is just around the corner in this spectacular cheap budget gang orientated road movie.

Here we see the final days of normality of a man who had everything to live for, and his slip into the abyss of madness. With its astounding car stunts, unbelievable bike chases and constant ultra violence Mad Max is the antihero on the road to vengeance and oblivion. Powerful. Dynamic. Honest. Brutal.

Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) is the top-rated anchorman in San Diego in the ’70s. When feminism marches into the newsroom in the form of ambitious newswoman Veronica Corningstone (Applegate), Ron is willing to play along at first-as long as Veronica stays in her place, covering cat fashion shows, cooking, and other “female” interests. But when Veronica refuses to settle for being eye candy and steps behind the news desk, it’s more than a battle between two perfectly coiffed anchor-persons… it’s war. Written by austin4577@aol.com |

Ghost Rider (2007)Thursday, November 22nd, 2007 |
|
The Bottom LineIf you can get past the rather lame dialogue, a leading lady who’s only real point in being a part of the movie is to show off her cleavage, and Wes Bentley’s dull performance as the film’s major villain, then Ghost Rider’s really kind of fun. It’s much more of a campy good time than you’d expect and best of all, despite how the special effects look in the trailers and still photos, the CG work is first-rate and very believable. Well, maybe not ‘believable’ as much as realistically rendered.

Wild Hogs (2007)Thursday, October 18th, 2007 |
|
The Bottom LineFour middle-aged men, three stuck in dysfunctional relationships and one unable to even talk to a woman, get their motors running and head out on their Harleys in Wild Hogs, a comedy from Van Wilder director Walt Becker. Wild Hogs takes the ‘let’s throw in every goofy set-up we can and see if something works’ approach to filmmaking and actually manages a few decent comedic moments - almost in spite of itself.
