Film Review: ‘The Three Musketeers’ Lets Down Legendary Heroes
Submitted by BrianTT on October 21, 2011 - 6:12pmCHICAGO – Seriously?!?! Another “The Three Musketeers”?!?! Just because source material is beloved, why does it need to be remade over and over again?

Blu-Ray Review: Absorbing Acting Strengthens ‘The Pillars of the Earth’
Submitted by mattmovieman on December 7, 2010 - 9:45amCHICAGO – Ken Follett’s “The Pillars of the Earth” is in the great tradition of old-fashioned adventure serials.
