Review: The Thing [Movies] Review: The Thing [Movies]
I want to clear the air here: I am a coward.  I could provide any number of examples to prove this point, but I figure you’ll take me at my word, since I’m not complimenting myself.  So, when it comes to movies with even an element of horror, I usually don’t do to well.  The first...

RockNRolla [movies] RockNRolla [movies]
RockNRolla is exactly what you’d expect from a Guy Ritchie movie, but it’s not like that’s a bad thing. Being that it’s been six years since Snatch came out (we’re going to ignore Revolver, for the good of the world), it’s been long enough for me to watch his kinetic,...
