Cage, cage.   I wanted to start with a witty “Mr. Cage, you are very cagy”, but it doesn’t mean anything, so I’ll skip it. Nicolas Cage just always has that sad expression on his face, and he can’t get very exciting…. Gloomy expression continually? Come on… The movie has some reasonably good action scenes … Read more

  Nah…. Weak story, mediocre acting, too unclear action scenes,  Blade Runner wannabe city scenes, some light Parkour action, nothing really hits the target. Vin Diesel needs a strong movie to shine; he can’t hold a movie on his own. I’m not saying anything bad about him, he’s gone a long way from being a … Read more

   I like Jason Statham… you know, Transporter, Crank, Snatch, Lock Stock… yeah, he’s cool. The movie starts with what gave me the feeling this is going to be bad… like a cheap bad acting movie… but it becomes a surprisingly entertaining movie. Good action, maybe a little confusing at times, cool characters, Jason I … Read more

Eh… This is the third Mummy movie. The first one was great and fun to watch. The second was becoming redundant. For the third, they worked hard to make it different, and they actually did a good job in both preserving the theme and refreshing the content… but… To me, everything felt off – Jet … Read more

Great trailer – not so much the movie… (and the name is Tropic Thunder, not Tropical Thunder…) Click For Trailer So here’s the skinny on this one. Robert Downey Jr is funny as you can see in the trailer. Tom Cruise’s character is funny mostly because it’s so not Cruise, and once I saw him … Read more

  A movie theater full of Elvis Costellos. I’m not that old, but I did see the old version as a kid, even though it was considered an old movie when I did (hehehe – confusing you with my real age now?). Has nothing to do with this one. This movie is all about the … Read more

Hell, boy! Fun, fun, fun. I find it a great movie. Any movie that starts with John Hurt gets extra points unconditionally. If it starts with John Hurt reading – pffff, double the points. The movie is funny, has good comic-book action, has the charm of Hellboy’s humane characteristics (yes, the red horned Ron Perelman … Read more

Oh so dark and never ending …   Why? Why keep me in the theatre for 2.5 hours? Overall acting was great. Michael Caine is one and only, Heath Ledger did an amazing job, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, all great actors, each in his own (if somewhat crazy) way… but who casted Eric Roberts? … Read more

Yawn…. This is a movie that at the end you think to yourself “Why did they make it”?  “Was there anything original or surprising there? Nah.”. It is not a bad movie when you consider  the acting or the way it is made, but… it is slow, predictable, the music can put you to sleep … Read more

Ah, if only it was played by someone else. Look, chapeau to Sly, he’s made a huge franchise(s) and got his undeniable fame and fortune, and the bottom line speaks for itself… The movie is fun…. but…. I can’t ignore looking at his face and getting the sensation that he “ain’t the sharpest tool in … Read more
