In these difficult and trying times can we really like an action movie where the bad guy is anything but a rogue CIA/FBI/NSA/some other type of government agent, a rogue superhero or a nameless faceless Eastern European sex trafficker?

I pardon you.

Less than 2 days ago (assumed) left-leaning people rioted and caused over $100,000 in damage to a public university in order to prevent someone from POTENTIALLY making political statements contrary to their views.

He was great as Varro, the most upsetting screen death I can recall.

So Jena Malone has been in the the two most stylish thrillers of 2016.

Can we agree that Con Air was ultimately a disappointment? I mean, imagine seeing that trailer in 1997. "Ok Cage is going full action hero and they somehow got Cusak to be the grounded FBI agent trying to help him.(they have your attention) Wait, John Malkovich and Ving Rhames are going to be cons on the plane?!

In the interest of saving Dolph Lungren completists a couple minutes of frustraton. I Come In Peace is known as Dark Angel apparently. It does not appear to be available in any format on Netflix and does not appear to be streamable on Amazon.

"Come back, you steroid!" may be even better than Jules saying, "English, monkey rider, do you speak it?"

Blue Valentine is the best movie I will never watch again. Michelle Williams was amazing, but what a difficult movie to watch.

As an actor I agree, but Ben is 3 for 3 directing (pending Live By Night and The Batman) and that should count for something. Whereas Casey was responsible for foisting I'm Still Here on a somewhat suspecting public. Can we call it a draw at this point?

I thought he was out of line and violated really the only rule of roasting; you don't heckle the roaster at the podium. Take any and all shots you can when you have the microphone, but then sit there and laugh, chuckle or look annoyed when you do not. Coulter was absolutely savaged during that roast, but I don't

Are we sure it is the best Daniel Craig Bond movie? As great as Casino Royale is, I would go with Skyfall.

Not even the hotel scene with Nadine Velazquez?

Am I the only one put off by the phrase, "caught his big break writing Training Day"? Did Einstein catch his big break by coming up with the theory of relativity? Did Eric Dickerson catch his big break by rushing for 2,105 yards in a season? I'm not attempting to compare writing Training Day to either

Totally agree with the comments about Potente and Owen and consider the first film to be my favorite. In my opinion, however the best thing about the first film is it gave Bond a swift kick in the pants. The difference between Die Another Day (released months after Bourne, but clearly in the can before Bourne came

There is a local radio show, I'm sure there is some version everywhere, with the premise of having the DJ call the ghoster to determine why they ghosted the ghostee. I would estimate that about 90% of the time the ghostee is not really interested in truly learning why they were ghosted. Ghoster, "He talked about his

This is what I can't understand about most remakes. The original Total Recall was based on a short story by Philip K. Dick called "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale." If you want to make a similar movie, but not a shot for shot remake why does it need to be called Total Recall? There could have been at least a

Where does Desperado fit in?

For recent fare also try The Longest Week.

I saw this a week ago as a sneak preview and the entire time I could not escape the thought that Tom Hardy could have been awesome in the lead role. Basically playing Bronson that had the brain swapping procedure. I think it also would have made the Gal Gadot interactions a lot less creepy.
