I know I'm not the only one who thought this movie was going to be a flop. I mean, not only is it a high-speed street racing movie, but it's also a videogame movie. Still, I gave it a shot, but mostly for the D-Box experience. Even with the earnings from winning illegal street races, Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul) is still unable to keep his auto repair shop from his father open. For a chance to get $500,000, Tobey takes an offer from his street racing rival and successful car dealer Dino Brewster (Domonic Cooper) to finish building the Ford Mustang that Caroll Shelby was working on when he died. After building the car and selling it without Dino's consent, Dino challenges Tobey and Tobey's friend, Pete, to a street race for the money. Nearing the end of the race, desperate for revenge, Dino pushes Pete over a bridge and drives away, leaving Tobey to be blamed for vehicular manslaughter. Two years later, fresh out of prison, Tobey seeks out to knock Dino off his p...

"Alchemy: the science of deconstructing and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all powerful art. For everything that is taken, something of equal value must be given. This is the law of equivalent exchange." When Edward and Alphonse Elric were young, they discovered through their father's books the science of alchemy and learned the ability to deconstruct things to an atomic level and rearranging the atoms to create something else instead. Basically, with alchemy, you can transmute (change) a plastic cup into a plastic bowl. However, there is the law of equivalent exchange. After Ed and Al's mother passed away, the brothers committed the ultimate taboo in alchemy: human transmutation. The result of trying to bring their mother back ended in failure, with Edward losing his right arm and left leg and Alphonse losing his entire body. If it weren't for Ed's alchemical ability to transmute Al's soul to a body of armor, Al would've been as...

Liam Neeson goes on a non-stop flight from London to New York. I'm pretty sure nothing bad could happen, right? Right? Bill Marks (Liam Neeson), a U.S. Air Marshal, goes on a non-stop flight from London to New York. Shortly after the plane takes off, Bill receives an anonymous text message on his secured phone requesting $150 million to be transferred to an off-shore account or else someone on the plane will die every 20 minutes. As time goes on and the threats become more intense, who can he trust to catch a terrorist who is one of them? In a basic sense, "Non-Stop" is "Source Code" meets "Devil" on an airplane. The filmmakers keep you guessing on who the killer is and the film never stops to take a breather. It is also a movie best to have only seen the trailer and experience all the twists and turns the writers left for surprise. A very gripping thriller, "Non-Stop" may not be a must-see, but it definitely keeps you at the...

I walked into this movie knowing only one thing about it: it's a movie called "3 Days to Kill". Even with expecting so little, I was still disappointed. Kevin Costner plays as a CIA agent who is diagnosed with brain cancer. As he tries to make amends with his daughter he has barely seen in the short time he has left, the government picks him up to finish the job he was unable to do at the beginning of the movie: Find the Albino, find his boss, and kill them both during the 3 days he's babysitting his teenage daughter. Sounds interesting, but the movie itself is a bit messy. The humorous parts are indeed funny, the action sequences are well thought out, but the story, pacing, and the timing of the darkness and the humor of the story were a mess, leaving you unsure whether to laugh or not. I'd be lying if I said that I'm a fan of McG's work. I didn't care for the pilot of "Supernatural", was okay with the pilot for  "Chuck",...
