Machete, a Grindhouse Masterpiece

Review Info

Actors Robert De NiroDanny TrijoMichelle RodriguezJessica Alba
Genre ActionGrindhouse
Taking the Grindhouse genre to another level, Robert Rodriguez gives violence new meaning in the slice and dice actioner Machete.  Taking every liberty, but keeping the movie just under an NC-17, his film makes others of their genre look splatter less.  If you are into films with a lot of realistic violence, raunchy scenes of hot women and a lot of wacky characters, then Machete will get your adrenaline pumping.

The American, a Stunner

Review Info

Actors George ClooneyViolante Placido
Genre RomanceActionSuspense
I wish I could say that The American is a thrill a minute, but it isn’t.  It would be nice if I could tell you that the story is something new and different, but not that either.  I want to say that George Clooney does a terrific job of acting, well THAT I CAN SAY, and it saves the movie.  The film targets the over 20s male that likes suspense, intrigue with a slow moving...

The Expendables, Rambo with Friends

Review Info

Actors Eric RobertsMickey RourkeSylvester StalloneJason Statham
Genre AdventureAction
Here’s an adventure film filled with action actors that really have screen presence, including Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li and more.  Each actor in his own way muscles his character and thinks brutality is a way of life.  You can see the aging killer elite in the bloody kick-butt film called The Expendables.

Genre ComedyAction
This year has hatched some entertaining buddy cop/espionage comedic action-adventure films like Cop Out, Knight & Day and The Killers, now the summer offers a real belly laugher called The Other Guys, starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.  The movie touches all the right bases, shatters the funny bone and makes silly a good word.

SALT, Thrills and Spills

Review Info

Actors Liev SchreiberAngelina Jolie
Genre ThrillerAction
Kicking it up a notch, Angelina Jolie takes on the role of Salt, a hard-hitting, heart-pounding thriller about espionage on American soil. The film takes off running and never stops, even at the very end. It’s an energy boost for action lovers, and I for one loved it.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Wizard Wars

Review Info

Actors Nicolas CageAlfred MolinaJay Baruchel
Genre AdventureAction
Sparks are flying in Disney’s newest film release, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.  The action-adventure takes off quick with some very cool special effects, creates an interesting love story melding a 740 AD romance with a modern day crush, and then puts on a crescendo of fabulous fireworks.  Although the film will certainly entertain grade-school kids, this grown up tags the film with average marks.

Knight and Day, Covert Romance

Review Info

Actors Joan CusackTom Cruise
Genre ThrillerComedyAdventureAction
If it’s a lot of intense excitement with comedic relief that you are looking for, then Knight and Day will do the trick.  The high-powered spy thriller takes you up and down and then spins you around. It’s a cool roller coaster ride.  And there’s a great deal of nonsense, absurdities and other impossible mayhem, and that’s what makes the film fun to watch.

Jonah Hex, Kicks Butt

Review Info

Actors Megan FoxJosh BrolinJohn Malkovich
Genre ThrillerActionWesternComic Book
Comic books have infiltrated the summer box-office with films like Iron Man 2, Kick-Ass, The Losers, and now the supernatural thriller Jonah Hex.  While Iron Man and Kick-Ass have been the most successful getting an audience thus far, Jonah Hex may cause a strong surge in movie attendance due to its mystical content, PG-13 rating, and school being out for the summer.

The A-Team, Called to Duty

Review Info

Actors Jessica BielBradley CooperPatrick WilsonLiam Neeson
Genre ThrillerComedyAdventureAction
What would you expect from the director of Smokin’ Aces? Another big action thriller -- and director Joe Carnahan comes through.  The fun ride starts with action and ends with a big bang. The comedic timing, wild stunts, great CGI/special effects and wacko storyline make The A-Team a big winner.  If you are an action junkie, lover of the television series or just wanting to escape from a hectic day, then this barn-burner should do...
