COLLATERAL VS. DIE HARD What a perfect matchup. Both slick action thrillers about an ordinary man forced into an extraordinary situation. Michael Mann is the brilliant director at the helm of Collateral and, while it is not as widely renowned as Heat, it could be argued that this is his most personal movie. When [...]
AVATAR VS. SPIDER-MAN 3 Nobody wins in this fight, let’s just make that clear. This is more to determine which overly effects driven, poorly written film works better than the other.
