The Video Station: (303) 440-4448

Being the 11 year old I am, I would say that the ongoing garden gnome battle of the Reds and Blues would be better if there were more than just one death. But it is of course a Disney movie, so kids from the ages of 3-8 would enjoy this. But, [...]

In 1940, in the middle of a Siberian winter, a group of prisoners escape a Soviet labour camp. Only barbed wire to cut through, then losing guards in whiteout conditions and pine forest. They dared this with a few survival skills and scraps of food to sustain them, knowing that staying [...]

If I were Jonathan Swift, I’d be turning over in my grave at how my classic novel about a man encountering a race of people less than six inches tall was turned into a somewhat crude and simple-minded comedy starring Jack Black and featuring giant robots and giant wedgies.

The 7 hit movies based off the famous Harry Potter books are now almost to an end. Harry Potter is now 17 years old, and the protection his mother gave him is now gone for life and some want him dead right away. The famous Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his two best [...]

I was about 10 years old when the original Tron hit theaters in 1982, so I have a certain fondness for it. It just looked so cool, with the Light Cycle races and giant ships, rendered via very early computer graphics, and the actors clad in glowing costumes with glowing Frisbees strapped [...]

At the time, I was working at a map store that furnished, among other treasures, the best printed material about the region that money could wrangle. Ralston himself was [...]

Milla Jovovich resumes her sexy gun-toting, zombie-butt-kicking ways in fantastic fashion in Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth and easily most entertaining entry in the horror-action franchise based on the best-selling videogame.

I was all set to hate this big-screen version of The A-Team the moment I learned Liam Neeson had been cast as Colonel ‘Hannibal’ Smith, the role made so memorable by a cigar-chomping George Peppard in the same-named 80’s TV show. Turns out that, for its first two acts, at least, this is a [...]

Once upon a time there was an animated ogre named Shrek.
He was in a movie that made a lot of money, so its studio said, what the heck?
There are enough ideas for a few more rounds.
We’ll make some sequels and try not to run the idea into the ground.
