Blu-Ray Review: ‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’ Bores to Tears
Submitted by mattmovieman on September 28, 2010 - 7:56amCHICAGO – Jerry Bruckheimer has reached a point in his career where he feels capable of making a film out of anything. And not just a film, but a multimillion dollar franchise offering the mega-producer’s typically uninspired blend of sound and fury.

Video Game Review: Disappointing ‘Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands’

Blu-Ray Review: Unnecessary ‘Brothers’ Remake Works on Own Terms
Submitted by mattmovieman on March 24, 2010 - 12:24pmCHICAGO – Was there really any need to remake “Brothers,” the 2004 Danish drama directed by Susanne Bier? Not only was the film nearly flawless, but its riveting emotions and themes resonated on a universal level that transcended any cultural boundaries.
