Review – Stolen (2012)

★★★☆☆ Nicolas Cage action movies tend to not disappoint me. I will admit some of his more experimental stuff can be massive dis-interesting flops, but he tends to know how to do action well. Having said that, I understand that once north of 50 as he is now means action…

Review – Prisoners (2013)

★★☆☆☆ You might want to avoid having a few glasses of wine before watching Prisoners. Perhaps someone who is a parent could get into it more. I did eventually get into it, but, Prisoners doesn’t completely succeed when it comes to exploring just how far parents will go to locate…

Review – Styx (2001)

★★★☆☆ I have seen Styx a few times since it came out. Peter Weller generally gives a good performance and tends to choose roles he can do well in. Since the Millenials won’t have any idea who he is I will tell them he played Admiral Marcus in Star Trek…

Review – The Purge and The Purge Anarchy

★★★☆☆ The Purge and The Purge Anarchy are for when you feel like a video game, but don’t feel like actually playing the game yourself. The Purge even had some worthy writing, not so much in the lines, but the concept. A family man views himself as a good guy.…

Review – The Fate of the Furious

★★★★☆ I have seen quite a few reviews pan this installment of the series. While there is some call for panning, there is not as much as I have seen. After all, it’s only the installments without Vin Diesel that suck. Bringing Jason Statham’s character onto the team after he…

Review – Pain and Gain

★☆☆☆☆ Pain and Gain is horrible. I generally love Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson. They are usually really good at choosing roles to fit their skills. Nothing but bad choices here. I mean, I get Pain and Gain is based on a real life act of biblical stupidity. I get…
