By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) After the mostly ill received X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the surly mutant with metal claws returns to theaters in another solo outing. With more mature themes and less cartoonish content, this movie should sufficiently please audiences, but probably won’t receive resounding praise from all.

Review: R.I.P.D.
By Mark Saldana Rating: 1.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Based on the Dark Horse comic by Peter M. Lenkov, R.I.P.D. steals much of its tone and humor style from the Men in Black movies, another comic-inspired franchise. The problem this time is that the humor in the film version of the Rest In Peace Department… Continue reading Review: R.I.P.D.

Review: RIPD
By Laurie Coker Rating: C- My guest nailed it when he said that RIPD is like Ghostbusters, but it feels and looks a good deal like Men in Black too. Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Mary Louise Parker and Kevin Bacon star in RIPD, a rip-roaring, wild, CGI adventure ride taking place somewhere between Heaven and… Continue reading Review: RIPD
