August 20, 2008John Campea

Wilson has a mastery over the art of expression that feeds so much life into his Dwight Schrute character that I could honestly say I’d watch an entire episode of just him talking to the camera about his life and it would still be hilarious. … Don’t get me wrong, I think it was a good move to give him a shot at leading a movie, but it becomes obvious pretty quickly that Wilson’s amazing talents are much better suited and taken advantage of when they’re used in supporting roles where he is more free to just bring the hilarity.

Rocky 7 May Happen

May 28, 2008May 28, 2008John Campea

I for one was completely against the idea of Sylvester Stallone doing Rocky 6 (aka “Rocky Balboa”). I thought it was just a pathetic attempt by a once influential actor to achieve relevance again. Well, for those of you who have read The Movie Blog for any length of time, … [Read More]

Gerard Butler Joins “RocknRolla”

June 26, 2007John Campea

There are few directors who instantly grab my attention like Guy Ritchie.

Get ready for The Rock in Walking Tall

January 13, 2004Rodney

Alright I’ll admit it. When The Rock was in the process of doing his first couple of films I thought him as a leading man would never fly. I was wrong. The Rock has that old 80’s style macho hero thing going on and it works really well. I’ve actually … [Read More]
