Black Swan “Bitch” would probably be considered a more than apt title for not only nearly every movie that Natalie Portman has ever played the lead role in, but also an appropriate name for just about every character she has ever played with the obvious exception being her amazing, transcendent work as the tormented young […]

Blade It can be rare that a single movie can pull off the proverbial “hat trick” and wind up being among the best of its kind in not one, but THREE different genres, but this 1998 release does exactly that, managing to not only be one of the best action movies ever made (a tremendous […]

Blade 2 The original 1998 Blade was a remarkable accomplishment in more ways than one.  First off, it completely reinvigorated the entire comic book genre barely a year after it had been practically killed off by 1997’s Batman And Robin.  Secondly (long before Iron Man and The Avengers came along), it brought the entire Marvel […]

Blade Runner: Final Cut An overwhelming work of art and one of the greatest motion pictures, sci-fi or otherwise, ever made, by Ridley Scott coming off of Alien. Perhaps the most amazing thing about it, at least in this Blu Ray release, is that the film was actually made in 1982 and yet looks like […]

Blade 3: Trinity Now while there is no disputing the fact that The Blade Franchise DEFINITELY got the ball rolling with the whole Marvel Universe Franchise and that Blade will always remain Wesley Snipes’ most iconic signature role (much like Reeve with Superman although Snipes certainly made more quality movies than he did), the level […]

Blazing Saddles Sometimes, in order to break new ground and expand people’s minds to new ideas, one should be required to use the gift of laughter and comedy in order to do so, as Mel Brooks did here in 1974 with his Grand Masterpiece, one of the funniest and greatest works in the history of […]

Blind Side Sandra Bullock has always been a beautiful, angelic presence in American cinema (even if many of her films stink), and it was only a matter of time before she was given a role that matched her persona, fitting her so much like a glove that she would land her first Oscar win as […]

Blob ’88 People who (rightfully) complain about today’s abundance of remakes have literally every justification to do so, as most of the original versions of these movies were still already produced in the “modern” era of films, that period being after the mid to late 1960s when the old (censorship) Production Code was abolished and […]

Blood Diamond While not exactly a shining postcard designed to promote tourism to the continent of Africa, the most notable aspect of Edward Zwick’s film is the stunning maturation of Leonardo DeCaprio as an actor.  As Danny Archer, diamond smuggler and mercenary, DiCaprio proves that he’s miles ahead of his bland pretty boy from Titanic.  […]

Blood Feast After being immortalized and re-introduced to younger audiences through his referencing in the recent movie Juno, Herschell Gordon Lewis has now taken his rightful place as the Godfather Of Gore, the first true filmmaker to showcase graphic violence in cinema and use it as the main selling point of the films in question, […]
