Iron Man/Hulk save Spidey

Posted 18 years ago

I always knew Spider-Man was kind of pussy, but for him to rely completely on Iron Man and Hulk to beat the shit out of some brain dead robots is beyond me. Shame on you Peter Parker. Take a look...

New Love Guru trailer

Posted 18 years ago

I’m posting the new LOVE GURU trailer having watched it, but not listened to it. There’s a strange German girl I hardly know sleeping in my bed right now (I am not making this up) and I left my headphones...

Joker sells out

Posted 18 years ago

I don’t know what I’ll do with myself once THE DARK KNIGHT comes out—go into withdrawal, I would assume. What will life be like without writing DARK KNIGHT articles? For James Thoo’s parents, if you’re reading this, I would advise...

The Take trailer

Posted 18 years ago

THE TAKE has one of those edge-of-your seat trailers. No way the actual movie can be this good. I worked at a DVD store for two years, and it has straight-to-dvd throwaway written all over it, perhaps unfairly so. Has...

Major film gets rated

Posted 18 years ago

Hey everyone. So I’m at home now, a bit buzzed after having drank six bottles of Pabst Blue Ribbon. And I’m here writing my final JoBlo.com article of the evening, while an epic battle of wills occurs inside me. I...

Meet the Anti Venom

Posted 18 years ago

After the travesty that was Venom in SPIDER-MAN 3, the character needed some kind of reboot, something to restore his credibility. To think, that those who aren’t familiar with the comics, which is most people who saw the film, thought...
