The Cold War has supposedly been over for 20 years now, so what’s with all these films pitting Cold War spies against each other? Salt continues the trend formulaically, but also spectacularly- it is truly the new template by which “Spy vs Spy” films should follow.

Guess who’s back…back again…Predators returns the franchise to the jungle, but manages to keep the formula intact. Whether this is a good thing is entirely up to the viewer.

[Editors Note: Applewood Johnson does not necessarily reflect the views of Insert-Disc, he's only here because his uncle is one of our corporate overlords]
Midnight Shamalon is an awesome director. After he did the lame Sixth Sense, he started making awesome movies like that one with that chick in the swimming pool. So obviously I went to see this movie.
Some retards called Midnight’s decision to get white people in this movie as “racist” or “the dumbest things I’ve ever heard,” but I believe these people are the idiots because they fail …

The story of the underdog-turned-champion is one oft repeated in film and television- Rocky, Major League, Seabiscuit and the original Karate Kid all proved this.

The villain is all but giggling as he kills children and destroys homes, the villain hates blue people because they’re stupid and don’t appreciate humans invading their territory, the villain is not an actual character. He is a plot device. He exists for the audience to hate him. He has …

Our War Game was an important movie to my life at the time. It provided a satisfying conclusion to the original Digimon story, and introduced me to concepts that I would later learn more about and continue to enjoy. Hosoda knew how to convey the spirit and charm of the Digimon series, but infused it with his own ideas. It is clear how his directorial debut with Digimon laid the foundation for his later work.
