Fast Five (2011)

Fast Five (2011)

An excellent job by Vin Diesel and company on this action packed return to form for Fast and Furious series. If you thought that the series was over think again, this reboot has brought back the excitement of the original. Jordana Brewster is slim, tan and absolutely delicious. Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are JACKED! These two titans clashing took all of the...

Red (2010)

Red (2010)

Red was so ridiculously over the top that if you seriously watched it and argued for realism then you are beyond hope as an intelligent life-form (it was adapted from a graphic novel). Lovers of espionage action, this one is for you, it is within the same family of movies that is James Bond 007, Jason Bourne, Salt, and The American inhabit. It’s the fantasy...

The Town (2010)

The Town (2010)

There was something about The Town that made it work, no it wasn’t the story, the acting or the cinematography, it was the soul of the characters as corny as that may sound.

Machete (2010)

When we saw the trailer to Machete during the introduction of...

The lives of these men lead them to a place of desperation, depression and anger where death is a welcome escape to the lives they live. Director Antoine Fuqua, the man behind the scenes in  Training Day...

From Paris with Love

From Paris with Love

A beautiful movie in terms of cinematography, the shots shown in between the explosions and gunfire are absolutely gorgeous but sadly the rest of this movie falls short of setting the bar on anything.  If there was a cookie cutter method to creating action movie, From Paris With Love is the result of it. All it seems to take is a shallow story, a super-human...
