The Bank Job (2008)

October 18th, 2009 · No Comments

Based on a true story and set in the 70′s.  This heist film has a group of pretty amateur criminals taking away a huge amount of cash and other items from safe deposit boxes in a London bank. A pretty basic story line, but it had Jason Statham in it, so it was a must [...]

Pride and Glory (2008)

September 15th, 2009 · No Comments

This film was well acted and did not seem as long as it was, BUT did we really need another good cop, bad cop, loyalty, NYC police movie? Nothing new, not even a new way to tell the story. The regular one family of cops thing. Bad guys, good guys, loyalty over what is right [...]

Death Race (2008)

September 10th, 2009 · No Comments

Though I have seen portions of Death Race 2000 (Corman) I have not seen the whole thing. This movie having Jason Statham, the guy that played Manny on General Hospital, Tyrese and Joan Allen (who is lovin’ playing evil) made me want to see this film. Of course, it also looked like a lot of [...]

Max Payne (2008) [HD]

August 25th, 2009 · No Comments

I had one of those days where I just wanted a good movie with explosions. Instead I got possibly one of the most boring films based on a violent video game. Slow moving, boring, I personally wanted to shoot the characters who I couldn’t give a crap about. And who casts Mila Kunis as a [...]

Breaking and Entering (2006)

August 16th, 2009 · No Comments

Great cast, pretty boring story. Rich architect moves office into “bad area” of town. Gets ripped off multiple times. Tracks down one of the thiefs. Falls for the thief’s mother despite having a long term girlfriend and her daughter at home. And they all end up doing the right thing. The acrobatics of the thiefs [...]

Babylon A.D. (2008) (HD)

August 13th, 2009 · No Comments

Not enough action and the action that was there was filmed poorly. Stupid ending that seemed tacked on to allow for a sequel. You have two actors that are known for their ass-kicking in a film and you decide to shoot is so close that all you see is a blur? Why waste time with [...]

Unknown (2006)

August 10th, 2009 · No Comments

You wake up someplace that you don’t recognize, you realize something tragic has happened, you have no idea who you are, everyone around you is alive, but damaged and unconscious. And the story starts from there. Five men are locked in a warehouse with no way out, no idea how they got there initially and [...]

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

July 30th, 2009 · No Comments

We were sort of leary about watching this film as the Hulk franchise in film has not gotten the most graceful of treatments, but we are fans of Edward Norton, so we figured we would pop it in. We were in the mood for a movie that required no thinking on our part and had [...]
