CLASH OF THE TITANS – Reviewed by David
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more apathetic actor right now than Sam Worthington, an Australian whose appearances in Terminator Salvation and the gazillion-dollar-grossing Avatar have inexplicably transformed him into Hollywood’s go-to guy for big-budget CGI extravaganzas, the latest being this adequately entertaining remake of the cheesy 1981 fantasy flick.

Under no circumstances should you confuse Repo Men with Repo Man. Sure, they both feature fair-haired actors whose characters repossess things for a living.

I was attending a meeting of the Old Record Store Clerks Group (ORSCG) several months ago, and after the usual reindeer games (exchanging early 90′s 7-inches of bands nobody ever cared about, comparing casual footwear we’re too old to be wearing, sucking in beer guts to show off our vintage/ novelty t-shirts, complaining how the [...]
