Midway got written off by critics in 2019 and that was mostly unfair. Roland Emmerich's Pacific War epic is flawed but worth your time, especially around this Memorial Day weekend and the lead up to it.

Deadhaus Sonata Co-Op Gameplay Revealed Ahead of Early Access Launch Apocalypse Studios dropped new co-op gameplay footage today for Deadhaus Sonata, their upcoming dark-fantasy action RPG where you play as the undead fighting the living. The game is heading into Early Access on Steam, and if the pedigree behind it means anything, this one is worth paying attention to. Denis Dyack is directing. If that name rings a bell, it should. He's the creator of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Eternal…

Deep Impact came out the same summer as Armageddon and has been unfairly compared to it ever since. It is the better film. Robert Duvall is outstanding, Tea Leoni earns her emotional payoff, and it treats the audience like adults.

Sabotage wants to be Training Day and a classic Arnold shoot em' up at the same time. It fails at both. One of the most boring Schwarzenegger films ever made, and that is really saying something.

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.

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 thing, but the story, for stupid action movie standards, is easy enough to follow. Add in Liam Neeson being Liam Neeson, even if…

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 among a group of enemy soldiers that he had (almost) executed two decades prior. Now he has come for his long awaited…

Liam Neeson, as I have stated before, is my jam. If Robert Mitchum or Charles Bronson were still around I would have a harder choice, but since they’re not, Liam is the undisputed king of my favorite hard asses. Ed Harris is also up there, and this movie brings the two of them together as an aging gangster and hitman, both of with grown up children who wind up in a really tight bind, one night in the city. Harris plays an aging gangster who laments the fact that all of the locally owned…

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 Furiosa has taken the powerful Warlord Joe’s (C’mon really, just Joe?) bevy of slave brides in one of his own customized eighteen wheeler war tank. Joe in turn…
