Movie Review: Killing Gunther
In the movie review business, you see films that make you think and inspire you to greater things. There are films that leave you with your jaw dropped in absolute shock and disgust, wondering how anyone would loan the filmmakers money to finish something so terrible. And then, there’s the stuff that makes you chuckle, even as you sit there and think of how silly and ridiculous it all is. Guess wh...[Read More]
Movie Review: Terminator Genisys
Full disclosure: I’m a huge Terminator and Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, and since I’m so in love with the franchise and the world that James Cameron created over thirty years ago, I’m very critical of the later movies in the series (Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines [2003] and Terminator Salvation [2009]). In what is essentially a reboot of the Terminator universe, Terminator ...[Read More]
New Terminator Genisys Clip Highlights T-1000
A newly released clip from the upcoming Terminator Genisys provides an extended look at the film’s version of the T-1000. The sequence definitely echoes The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), which looks fantastic, my only concern will be trying to keep all of the time paradoxes straight. As you probably already know, the film, directed by Alan Taylor, follows a plot s...[Read More]
Movie Review: The Expendables 3
The Expendables 3 is the latest installment of the cheese-tastic, 1980s style, throwback action franchise. You may not think of this series of films as anything more than an exercise in geriatric yoga for the addled action stars of yore. But, the fact is The Expendables (2010) made $275M on an $80M budget and The Expendables 2 (2012) made $305M on a $100M budget. And that is serious worldwide box-...[Read More]
Movie Review: Sabotage
Sabotage won’t be loved by many, except die-hard Arnold Schwarzenegger fans. Fair warning, it’s not Shakespeare. You probably knew that already, but in case you didn’t, I have done my job by warning you. Sabotage is a cops gone bad flick, directed by David Ayer, who helped write the penultimate bad cop flick, Training Day (2001). This movie definitely has gritty street cop in its DNA. ...[Read More]
Movie Review: Escape Plan
It’s safe to say that people already have a preconceived notion about Escape Plan. With its two main stars each in their late sixties, it’s easy to poke fun at this movie – especially when those two stars are 1980s action heroes Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you walk into Escape Plan expecting a cinematic masterpiece, you’ll be sorely disappointed. If, on the o...[Read More]
Movie Review: The Expendables 2
The Expendables 2 is one of those critic-proof movies. No matter what any of us say, people will go see this movie if they’re fans of the genre or looking for another nostalgic trip down memory lane. To put it bluntly, this movie isn’t for everyone and I get that. Fortunately for all of you, I’m part of the population that enjoys a good trip down memory lane with all of my favorite action stars fr...[Read More]
Batman on Film: Joel Schumacher Almost Kills the Batman Franchise
Like most fans of the feature length, live-action Batman motion pictures, I tried to pretend Joel Schumacher’s offerings don’t exist. I usually do a pretty good job of it too, but because I’m a fanatic, and a completist, they get watched once every couple years when a new Batman film is released in the multiplexes across the globe. This time around though, I’m taking you with me. You got to revel ...[Read More]
Trailer Trashin’: Total Recall Looks Slick But Soulless
In the debut edition of Trailer Trashin’ last week, I talked about my excitement for Rise of the Guardians, this week we’re looking at something completely different – the upcoming remake of the 1990 Paul Verhoeven/Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Total Recall. Premise: In the dystopian future of 2084, the countries of Euroamerica and New Shanghai vie for political power. Douglas Quaid (Colin F...[Read More]
Movie Review: Conan the Barbarian
No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, there are some people that are born to play a role; these actors become such a part of our cultural memory that they are the standards by which others are judged. Sean Connery as James Bond. Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade. Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. And Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan. He may not have been the world-traveling, charismatic, ...[Read More]
