2 Men, 2 Movies

The Incredible Hulk and Ironman are the summer movies to beat! In both instances, the movies’ success rely solely on the talent of their leading men. Yes, there are competent performances by their respective supporting casts. But, there is no doubt in my mind that the success of these two films can […]

Performance by an actor in […]

No Country for Old Men

The second movie of the weekend bares absolutely no resemblance to the first. But, both are examples of what make modern day cinema so amazingly worthwhile. Each film is a journey onto itself. No Country for Old Men is beautifully filmed with a stellar cast. It is a film that takes you into the deserted […]
