The best thing about the new Die Hard (A Good Day to Die Hard) is that it has a lot of great stunt work that looks practical. They did some fantastic work to make the stunts pretty amazing… but the … Continue reading
Also saw Beautiful Creatures – the new …. Twilight with Witches movie? I guess. Except for some suspect southern accents and an end showdown sequence that was kind of dull, this is a pretty good little … horror? romance? drama? … Continue reading
Saw the new Stephen Soderberg film Side Effects… a movie I knew so little about I didn’t realize it was a Steven Soderberg film. Which is great since this movie really works … and it works best when you have … Continue reading

So I saw Arnold’s first major new movie since he stopped being the Governator… The Last Stand (not counting his extended cameo in Expendables 2). And… yeah… it’s a super run-of-the-mill action flick with nothing particular to get excited about … Continue reading
I saw the horror flick (presented by Guiermo Del Toro) Mama – starring Not Olivia Wilde (it’s Jessica Chastaine with black hair and always-on eye-shadow… looking nothing like she does in current interviews or in Zero Dark Thirty) and Jamie … Continue reading
