Hunting Season Review

Hunting Season Review – Mel Gibson Still Has It

Mel Gibson proves he still has it in this lean, competent survival actioner. As reclusive woodsman Bowdrie protecting his daughter and a wounded woman from ruthless criminals in Oklahoma’s wilderness, Gibson delivers a commanding, grounded performance that elevates a predictable but tense plot. Read our Hunting Season review. Continue reading Hunting Season Review – Mel Gibson Still Has It

Taken 3 Review

Taken 3 (2015) Review

The first Taken movie pretty much created a genre of its own. It was a smart fast-paced thriller, and a great watch.  The sequel was stylistically appealing, but from a story standpoint was just a confusing mess that I absolutely hated. This movie has almost no style, and director Olivier Megaton (real name) must have broken some kind of record for yelling cut in this … Continue reading Taken 3 (2015) Review

Killing Season (2013) Review

  The premise here is interesting, the talent is extraordinary, the action and atmosphere is fine, but the end result is one of the most befuddling messes I can long remember. The premise is this; 20 years after the Bosnian war, a retired US soldier now living out in the Appalachian countryside finds a strange hitch-hiker with a secret past. Turns out said hitch-hiker was … Continue reading Killing Season (2013) Review

Wild Card (2015) Review

Nick Wild is a Las Vegas bodyguard with a gambling addiction, and an action movie hero addiction as well. Dreaming of escaping this seedy world so he can sail a yacht around Corsica, he earns money through cutesy side jobs like helping losers get laid by letting them beat him up in front of their girlfriends, while serving as the “Mike” Jason Alexander’s “Better Call … Continue reading Wild Card (2015) Review

Mad Max Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road Review

I saw this movie in 3D with my wife, who liked it far less than I did, feeling the movie was long on chase scenes and short on story. I say that up front for a little context, but personally I loved that the entire movie is just one long adrenaline rush. The story was started on the run and kept running throughout. Theron’s character … Continue reading Mad Max: Fury Road Review

The Purge Anarchy

The Purge: Anarchy Review

The Purge (2013) starring Ethan Hawke was one of my big disappointments. I thought the premise (all crime being legal for one night) was bloody brilliant, and had mucho potential for social commentary, plus a ton of groovy action in the vein of Escape from New York. Instead, the whole story took place in the house of one rich family on a rich neighborhood being … Continue reading The Purge: Anarchy Review
