Stupid, strained and stale. Funny is funny, if only this big budget exercise in explosions and starpower brought the yucks. Never does. All you can expect are one or two smiles interspersed with more painful moments than a trip to the dentist. Woof. While MetalJunky5000 disliked it less th…

Smokin' hot wife. Lame running joke.

This early Al Pacino classic holds up well, especially as a prototype for the bevy of counterculture hero and realistic cop movies that followed. Highly recommended for cop movie fans, Pacino fans and those interested in 60s counterculture.

Hitchcock’s classic thriller, dizzying as ever, still packs enough punch to make girls scream. While tame by the crude standards of the past thirty years, the movie doesn’t lack for intrigue, glamour and surprise. That said and though Vertigo is widely acclaimed as Hitchcock’s masterpiece, …

40% LOL, 50% hide the women and children. Make that 80% hide the innocents, yet still 40% LOL, more than enough funny to get the job done. Yes, it’s spectacularly mean, violently so, but it’s no more cruelly subversive than was Borat. (Oh great. Now Borat… |

Training Day is a perfect bad-cop movie, with a towering performance from Denzel, all in as the baddest man to ever carry a shield. Supported by several stellar actors in juicy parts, perfectly directed by Antoine Fuqua from martial specialist David Ayer’s knowing script, Training Day unspoo…

The Guard touches perfection here and there, is otherwise mostly great, but gets held back by a merely OK screenplay. Fortunately a crafty Brendan Gleeson drives plenty of deadpan comedy for a very good movie. So what if it’s not a classic. It’s got brilliant visuals, a handful of LOLs and…

Just a decade old, Minority Report hasn’t aged well. Perhaps because it’s based on a short story from the Fifties? Some of its vaunted futuristic technologies now seem ridiculous. To wit, newspapers with live displays are delivered daily to the front lawn. Why? Reality factor quibbling…

Blood begets blood as a Bangkok blood feud drives waves of retribution in artistic director Nicholas Winding Refn’s crime thriller Only God Forgives. Think Drive crossed with Bronson, set in Asia. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, imagine Ryan Gosling in a savagely violent, brooding…

RoboCop was a blast out of the blue when it appeared near the end of the Reagan Administration – freshly inventive, appallingly entertaining. Star powered, brilliantly conceived, smartly executed, it spawned two sequels, both inferior. Now it’s spawned a 21st century reboot…
