By popular demand we've been forced into covering Uncharted 2021, an adaptation of some of the Naughty Dog video game series. Not the good one (The Last Of Us on HBO) but Uncharted 2021, a movie that mostly covers some of the ground seen in parts 3 and 4. With Tom Holland taking on the role as a young Nathan Drake and Mark Whalberg playing that much beloved character, himself, this globe trotting adventure sets the bar for movies...

Wing Commander is a bad movie that came out in 1999. Sure it's based on a much beloved computer game series (that features the likes of Mark Hamill) and stars both Freddie Prinze Jr and Matthew Lillard. Plus it was directed by Chris Roberts who not only created the original series but also the upcoming Star Citizen video game which is going to change the way you do video games. All in all though it was a horrible experience. Thank...

In 1994 the Street Fighter name was riding high off the back of Street Fighter II, an arcade classic. This meant it was the perfect time to release a movie adaptation and who better to play the role of Guile than Jean-Claude Van Damme at the height of his fame. Much maligned at the time it’s become somewhat of a cult classic despite being more GI Joe than Street Fighter. But at least some of the actors look like some of the video g...

With the release of both The Minecraft movie and The Last of Us Season 2 we thought we'd revist some classic video game adaptations. So we're kicking things off with 1994's Double Dragon! A bad movie that came out at the wrong time. Martial arts, action set pieces, humor, this has all of that but none of it is very good. Thanks for checking out our Caravan Of Garbage review

It's time for peak The Punsiher everyone. In 2008 under the Marvel Knights brand Lionsgate attempted another Punisher rebooted with Ray Stevenson stepping into the role of Frank Castle. It wasn't recieved well at the time nor did it perform well at the box office despite, in hindsight, it being an incredible fun and gory time at the movies. Director Lexi Alexander managed to craft what feels like the truest on screen adaptation ...

In 2004 Marvel took another shot at making a Punisher live action adaptation after the success of Spider-Man, X-Men & Daredevil (I guess?), the Thomas Jane in the lead role. Also acting as his Year One original story it pits him against John Travolta and a family of mobsters who had his entire extended family un-alived (that's for YouTube censorship) after Frank Castle acted out a truely bizarre undercover pantomime drug deal....

The first cinematic adaptation of The Punisher happened to be a little known action film from the late 80's staring Dolph Lundgren. Sure he was missing the signature white skull, black jumpsuit and white boots (disgraceful ommission) but there's a lot of core elements that have held up pretty well despite the limations of the era. SO COME WITH US as we journey through all the films in the Punisher's repertoire and thanks for watch...

Daredevil may not have gotten the sequel it probably I guess deserved but it did get a spin-off. ELEKTRA. 2005. Brought back to life using magic or a wish or something after being killed in Daredevil, Jennifer Garner returns to the role where this time she's an assassin who can sometimes see the future sometimes. This time she has to face The Hand and a bunch of henchpeople who are probably mutants including a man who's tattoo's c...

Daredevil 2003 came in the a wave of Marvel comic book success stories like Blade, Spider-Man and X-Men. Ben Affleck's Matt Murdoch however didn't manage to reach those same heights despite being a pretty solid action movie. For the time. How could it not with Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin, Colin Farrell in his first comic book villain role as Bullseye and Jennifer Garner as Elektra who recently returned in Deadpool & Wol...
