Posted Oct 14, 2012
8/10 26% Wrath of the Titans (2012) " Wrath of the Titans rewards us for having to sit through its poorly made predecessor. It's full of expensive visuals, intense action sequences and even more ancient myths and creatures." — We Got This Covered

Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10 92% School of Rock (2003) " Richard Linklater's School of Rock still remains one of Jack Black's very best performances. The director and actor work together well and manage to make a rockin' comedy that'll bring out the kid in every rock 'n' roll fan." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10 57% Safe (2012) " Safe is an exceptional Jason Statham B-movie that managed to sneak through the cracks during its theatrical release." — We Got This Covered
