WAR: Li and Statham Serve Up Decent Action



You have to appreciate a simple title like WAR.  And while I wouldn’t call this a war movie, the film does live up to its simple yet bad ass label.  The antithesis of a chick flick, WA

BALLS OF FURY: Dumb Fun



It’s hard to put into words just how stupid BALLS OF FURY truly is. From all appearances, this movie probably sprung into being after the creators smoked a bale of weed and overdosed o

DEATH SENTENCE: It's All About The Bacon



Kevin Bacon is like the ranch salad dressing of actors. He goes with damn near everything, and makes damn near everything better through his presence (although even he couldn’t save HO

THE BROTHERS SOLOMON: Familiar But Funny



I knew nothing about this movie when I sat down in the near-empty theater today. I saw no ads, no advance press, nothing. That was a plus. Also, we saw a preview for the movie GOOD LUCK

3:10 TO YUMA: Comes Out With Guns Blazing



Its GLADIATOR vs AMERICAN PSYCHO!

Is it possible to refrain from saying “The Western is Back!” or “Western Revival” or “Rebirth of the Western” or, shudderingly enough, “the n

SHOOT 'EM UP: Aims To Please



I must admit I am not familiar with aspiring auteur Michael Davis’ work, but I might have to give the guy a chance now.  His latest rages within its titular genre like lightning in a b
