‘Fast Five’ Review: Bigger, Faster, Dumber, Better

‘Fast Five’ Review: Bigger, Faster, Dumber, Better

PCN RATING: It was recently announced that Justin Lin might be taking over the Terminator franchise with Arnold Schwarzenneger in tow. After seeing the director’s latest, dumbest—and best!—entry in the Fast and the Furious franchise, I can understand why. Working from a lackluster series of carsploitation flicks, Lin and his team take the most insanely [...]

Get ready for 3-D elbows to the skull! Chocolate 2 on the way!

After the recent disappointments of both Ong Bak 3 and Raging Phoenix, I suppose this news could be met with trepidation.

Summer Flashback 1999: Run, Lola, Run

Tom Tykwer’s Run, Lola, Run hit the indie film scene like a speeding train, charging in on a film audience that didn’t associate indie with action. The rest, of course, is history.

Now Playing:Little lost ‘Prince’ doesn’t feel like Persia

PCN Rating: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is possibly the most faithful game-to-cinema adaptation to date.  Characters run across a whirling digital landscape and leap and jump over walls and rooftops.  All of the actors pop on and off screen speaking in disjointed fragments and half thoughts, as if re-enacting really expensive cut [...]
