Pompeii is a movie about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, how it destroyed an entire city, and there's also a love story, too. This special effects showcase was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and features Kit Harrington, Kiefer Sutherland, Emily Browning, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jared Harris, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

Pacific Rim - Movie Review

Since the first time I saw the very first trailer for Pacific Rim, I have been waiting not so patiently for its arrival. Seriously, this is giant robots fighting giant alien monsters in a movie directed by Guillermo del Toro and I had no doubt in my mind this would be nothing less than a glorious display of 3D awesomeness. Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day, and Rinko Kikuchi are also in the movie because I guess there needs to be some people in it, too.

The Book of Eli - Movie Review

This movie was an early contender to be one of my favorites but I thought it might get lost over the course of the year’s releases since it had a January release date. I was most impressed with how visually striking this movie was. Every scene was beautifully shot and it seemed like each frame could have made for a movie poster quality image. The Hughes brothers were definitely on their game and a special nod goes to director of photography Don Burgess.
