The Final Destination

This is the latest offering from the “I cheated death, ha, ha,” people. The main thing that makes this installment different is the fact that it is being offered in 3D (where available). What a difference this makes and, if it is possible for you to see it in this format, by all means do [...]

This was necessary in order to bring us up to speed with what was happening in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2010. Twenty eight years earlier (1982 – there, now you don’t have to do the math!) [...]

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
