Caught Arnold Schwartzenegger’s new DEA/Cop flick Sabotage (“Hey, we need a title for this movie that makes people want to see?” “Why bother?” “Good point! Let’s call it Sabotage!”). Just as in his last post-governor movie (The Last Stand), Arnold … Continue reading
300: Rise of an Empire is a side-story and a sequel to the original 300… telling a concurrent naval engagement that happened at the same time as the Battle of Thermopylae (as depicted quite accurately *snort* in 300)… and then … Continue reading

Saw the new Jason Statham action flick Homefront, co-starring James Franco (!), Kate Bosworth, and Winona Ryder (!?)… and written by Sylvester Stallone (!?!). Compared to most of the low-ambition run-of-the-mill action flicks, this is better than expected as far … Continue reading
