Creation

January 24th, 2010

Creation is a romantic drama about the origin of the Origin of the Species. Huh? That’s right Charles Darwin (Paul Bettany) wrote his revolutionary earth shattering theory in the throes of romantic turmoil. And not romantic in the highs-seas-adventure sense of the word.

The Spy Next Door

January 17th, 2010

The Spy Next Door has all of the cool choreography that Jackie Chan fans have come to expect. That’s the good news. All of it.
