The Matrix (1999)

Action Flick Chick — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:46:20 +0000

Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) is being inducted into the “Chicks Who Don’t Want Flowers for Valentine’s Day” club for her sheer, mind-blowing awesomeness.

Catwoman (2004)

Action Flick Chick — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 07:34:40 +0000

What better way to start off the best series, “Chicks Who Don’t Want Flowers for Valentine’s Day,” than with the worst movie, Catwoman! Catwoman has earned herself a spot in my series because she is a kick ass female, despite what the movie showed us. I don’t understand how Catwoman had so many good actors [...]

The popularity of our partner Action Flick Chick Katrina Hill has grown by leaps and bounds.

The Lovely Bones Spoiler

Action Flick Chick — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:11:31 +0000

Now, when I hear that Peter Jackson is behind a film, I expect it to be chock-FULL of orcs getting decapitated and elves and dwarves counting baddies they’ve killed. The Lovely Bones is, unfortunately, nothing like that and is certainly not something that I’d want to watch, so I figured I’d save you guys some [...]

A number of those we interviewed went on to win their respective months.

Dr. Seuss is a well known writer who is responsible for creating Sam-I-Am who has been convincing people to eat green eggs and ham, in his book Green Eggs and Ham, since 1960! Now, I am on a mission to undo all of his hard work because green eggs and ham are BAD!

Legion is a fantasy/horror film with an apocalyptic setting. It’s about… angels or something. It’s also got super fast evil grannies and spindly-armed Starbucks employees from the looks of it.
