CANNES  - Rolling the dice for a third time in "Ocean's Thirteen," Steven Soderbergh and his team beat the odds. Final chapters of trilogies invariably suffer from lameness. This, of course, already transpired in "Ocean's Twelve," where subplots misfired and the script resorted to all sorts of sleight-of-hand trickery.

Rogue Assassin is forced, flabby and formulaic. This isn't a martial arts movie. They just don't make them anymore. Rogue Assasin is the new age urban-action/martial-arts hybrid.

Blade is back, and the season&#39;s best vampire-hunting, martial arts action flick has arrived. By Cheryl Eddy. COME DECEMBER, one thing&#39;s always for certain: movie choices will be largely limited to either family

We're still ranting about the lame takedown of Captain America. If you're going to kill a superhero, do it with style. Geez, is there no justice? Adam Rogers in Underwire.

The Big Dog is unleashed in &quot;Blade: Trinity,&quot; the unholy (and allegedly final) installment of the comic book-based franchise starring Wesley Snipes as a half-vampire, half-human reluctantly

Scantily clad dungeon-crawler Lara Croft has been reborn many times over the years as a line of video-game sequels and mediocre (OK, terrible) film remakes.

The comparisons to God of War couldn&#39;t have been more accurate. PlayStation 3 release Heavenly Sword boasts a blade-wielding protagonist, gripping action and spectacular cinematography. Created by game studio Ninja Theory, Heavenly Sword tells the tale of Nariko, a passionate heroine who brandishes the Heavenly Sword to protect it from an invading king.
