Liam Neeson is back yet again with another action film. Some will claim this is another Taken film, and maybe he is cashing in big time on his success from that franchise, but the story in this film is much deeper overall than the recent Taken films, and the acting is absolutely amazing. With some great acting and a good story overall, Liam Neeson and … Continue reading Run All Night (2015)
This is the season for new movies, at least it used to be before the virus hit. What normally would be a busy Friday night has turned into scarce pickings over streaming and trying to keep up with the idea of specials that these sites are loading out. Tonight though, I managed to catch the early seasonal film, an attempt to get a Christmas spirit … Continue reading Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020)
At this moment in time we all find ourselves in, going to the movies is more than a mere novelty, its a genuine treat, so in that way we can be thankful for Unhinged that opened in Australian cinema’s this week. Lathered in a hearty dose of Falling Down, a little bit of Duel and a lot of very angry Russell Crowe (more diabetic angry … Continue reading Unhinged (2020)
Its one hell of a complicated film. It will be very hard for an average viewer to gather all the information provided by this movie at the first watch. But the more you watch it, more hidden elements will come to light. And when you are able to put these hidden elements together. You will realize that this movie is just a “masterpiece” which takes … Continue reading Tenet (2020)
“Villains” is a long-awaited indie from two filmmakers I’ve been rooting for ever since their overlooked debut feature “Body” back in 2015 – Dan Berk and Robert Olsen. After that came their decent follow-up to “Stake Land” in 2016 & Now “Villains” – their absolute best so far. A quirky, wild and demented horror comedy, supported strongly by four amazing performances, pleasant and polished cinematography … Continue reading Villains (2019)
I would consider myself to be a movie buff and I live and grew up in Massachusetts. I must tell you that Ben Affleck has done an outstanding job in his directorial debut. In casting his brother Casey you may think that it’s just nepotism or giving his brother a break. No. He is the absolute perfect person to play this role. Because they know … Continue reading Gone Baby Gone (2007)
1. Big fan of Michael Jai White, which I made clear in my other reviews, especially Blood and Bone, which is a must-see. Called him “the most under-utilized MMA asset in Hollywood.” 2. Guess he got tired of waiting for a phone call, because MJW as “director” cast himself in Never Back Down 2 which, for a low budget effort, was a really tight little … Continue reading Never Back Down: No Surrender (2016)
Falcon Rising is the kind of movie that is easy to sell with an action packed trailer. However, it has less action then what you may believe there is. That’s not to say it’s not an action movie, but the action scenes are quite few and far between. The movie starts with our hero drinking and playing Russian roulette. If he really wants to kill … Continue reading Falcon Rising (2014)
When I saw the cast list, I knew there would be some wonderful performances, but I was surprised at how they uniformly surpassed my expectations. I believe it’s Bale’s best work so far, and that’s saying something. Likewise with Affleck, Harrelson and Saldana. The rest of the cast was wonderful as well. There is one scene in particular (I won’t spoil it here) where an … Continue reading Out of the Furnace (2013)
Welcome to discount “Die Hard.” I mean…, “Welcome to Sudden Death,” a movie so blatantly ripping off the popular film, it’s even directly mentioned. Jesse Freeman (Michael Jai White) is a veteran working as a security guard at a new sports stadium in Phoenix. A group of terrorists kills every other security guard and rigs every exit to blow up when the crowd leaves at … Continue reading Welcome to Sudden Death (2020)
