Edge of Darkness (2010)
Martin Campbell returns to the once edgy and jagged ground of his excellent BBC miniseries Edge of Darkness with a much slicker spin that sheds much of what made the first go around so good.
Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1980s
Some are still fun, intentional or not, while others are unbearable. But because it’s just a sample, it’s nice to get a reminded of the way things used to be.
Class Act
While not a horrible film, it certainly isn’t the type of feature that would make anyone an icon or even a star.
X-Men: Volume Five
Blending big storylines adapted from the pages of the comic with admirable character development, the animated X-Men cartoon sets the bar for others in the superhero genre.
Iron Man: The Complete 1994 Animated Television Series
Filled with C-list supporting characters, poor animation and repetitive storylines, the early 90’s Iron Man cartoon is nothing short of a disaster.
Avatar
It’s rare that a movie can inspire genuine awe but Cameron has succeeded in another landmark technical achievement.
Tombstone
One of the finest Westerns to come along since the genre decided largely to pack up and ride into the sunset several decades ago.
Steel
Has the distinction of being one of those movies that’s so bad it actually has some solid entertainment value.

It’s easy to be sucked in by all the glossy, nostalgic images that flash across the screen like some sort of psychological experiment, but like most of the director’s other films, most is forgettable shortly thereafter.
The Princess and the Frog
Feeling like a collection of Disney Princess greatest hits with a Southern flair, this latest Disney animated feature may look gorgeous but it’s lacking in “magic.”
