So it finally happened, the studios bent the Terminator over their knee and snapped it in half like a twig, making the entire series feel about as relevant in the process. From what one can gather from the plot, when Kyle Reese is sent back in time to protect Sarah Connor from a cyborg assassin…

Review: San Andreas (2D)
A distinctly average natural disaster movie, mostly notable for its special effects. But then, what movie in this genre isn’t?

Review: Jurassic World (2D)
Jurassic World is a bombastic return of the franchise fourteen years after the previous sequel. It provides much, a lot more than expected, but can never match the original.

Saga Review: Transformers
Despite what many might say, Transformers has not had the best of histories in terms of reception, even if you go right back to their humble beginnings. Did you know that Hasbro bought the toys from Japanese toy company Takara Tomy, from lines called Diaclone and Microman toys, and that by 1985 these lines were…

Review: Captain America – The Winter Soldier (3D)
