Saw Ben Affleck’s new flick Argo – about the Iranian hostage crisis and how the CIA rescued a group of Americans who managed to escape and go into hiding with the Canadian embassy…. by using a fake Star Wars knockoff … Continue reading
A surprising number of people liked the movie Taken… and the word on Taken 2 is that it’s unnecessary and not very good. But I liked it. I thought it had better action scenes than the first one – making … Continue reading
Saw End of Watch – a South Central LA cop drama that’s one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. Part found-footage film and part not, it had me guessing to the end if our heroic cops would come … Continue reading
