August 4th, 2012

Proof that action movies from the 1980′s and early 90′s are indeed better than modern action movies, the beloved Arnold Schwarzenegger cheese fest Total Recall gets the reboot treatment with a sleek, sexy but lifeless incarnation from director Len Wiseman.

Watch the New Kick-Ass Total Recall Trailer

June 28th, 2012

When the Total Recall remake was announced, I thought it was a terrible idea. The Arnold Schwarzenegger version is still a blast, so why fix what ain’t broke? But then the trailer was released, and the Colin Farrell-starring action film didn’t look half bad. A rip-off of The Fifth Element and Blade Runner perhaps, but not half bad.

Better Late Than Never: Contraband Movie Review

January 23rd, 2012

If there’s one thing Marky Mark is good at these days, it’s being a badass. Whether playing an up-and-coming boxer or a military sniper, the former rapper knows how to throw a punch and look all-menacingly like.

It’s routine and unremarkable, but Mark Wahlberg does what he does best: play a badass, and that’s enough.

Whiteout Movie Review

March 3rd, 2010

whiteout-kate-beckinsaleWith the advent of special effects and life-like cartoons, the question continues to be posed: is the value of major actors in film deteriorating? Further pushing the issue are such films as The Hangover and a string of action flicks that have gone on to dominate the box office despite the lack of demonstrable stars. And yet, evidence of star power is in full force when the only good thing about a movie is the lead actor, as is the case with Kate Beckinsale in Whiteout. And sadly, the only highlight is a shower scene planted early enough in the movie to trick audiences into believing they may be seeing something worthwhile.
