Saw Escape Plan – the new Stallone/Schwartzenegger (and 50 Cent as a mastermind hacker!) flick that’s all about escaping from the perfect, inescapable prison. As such, you kind of expect that the prison to be rock-solid and smartly built and … Continue reading
I Saw Machete Kills… the sequel to the movie Machete which started out as a fake trailer in the movie Grindhouse. Machete was a trashy fun movie that had something to do with something, Mexican immigration, and a lot of … Continue reading
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
