So I went to see the martial arts bio-flick The Grandmaster… a chinese film (with a wide theatrical release) about someone (or something) named Ip Man… I had no idea it was about him… or who he was (though there … Continue reading
Saw the Robert DeNiro / Michelle Pfeiffer comedy action flick The Family… about a family of mobsters hiding out in Witness Protection in France… and how they can’t help but be mobsters in their daily lives. It’s a remarkably unfunny … Continue reading
So… saw Riddick… the direct sequel to the very good Pitch Black and a lip-service sequel to Chronicles of Riddick (the actual sequel to Pitch Black). After the Riddick franchise went off the rails with the overstuffed, over-ambitious, and doesn’t-feel-like-a-sequel Chronicles, … Continue reading

Saw… because I had to get out of the house and away from the food and not because I really wanted to see it… the decent and totally average-in-all-ways buddy action flick 2 Guns starring Denzel Washington and Marc Whalberg … Continue reading
Saw the movie Red 2 so you don’t have to! It’s the sequel to Red… did you see that? Probably not. Old people can be spies and action heroes too… only half as good as Space Cowboys which was about … Continue reading
