Take a colorful cohort of old British retirees, send them to India where they’ve been promised an elegant and beautiful spot to retire, and then make lemonade from lemons. Best Exotic is a cute film, with an endearing quality that kept me (the most avid of action short-attention-span film love… |

Now that my kids are grown, I don’t see many Disney movies, never mind re-makes of classics. In this case, I’m glad I decided to heed my whimsical choice. The Jungle Book was really well done, and John Favreau’s use of famous actors’ voices was spectacular. My favorite? Christopher Walkin as Kin… |

The movie is an interesting ‘pat ourselves on the back’ action film focusing on the team that got “Geronimoâ€. Unfortunately, it was pretty badly done, from the lackluster acting, to the haphazard story buildup. The best part was the action sequences of the raid itself, but even that was s… |

In the US, not much is understood about the Soviet war in Afghanistan. This movie follows new recruits as they are thrust in to the bloody, dirty mess. It seems they picked the craziest mo-fo’s for Afghanistan though — at least that’s the impression you get watching. The fighting starts out … |

This French film follows a tried-and-true theme: Tough military commandos make the big rescue. In this case the rescue of a very pretty French journalist who is inexplicably running around in Afghanistan only to be captured by a crazed Taliban leader. Films like this rarely have to have a stor… |

Gritty, stressful, and suspenseful documentary of life in Afghanistan’s war zones. Well aided by dramatic narrative, shooting, and even music added to the suspense. But possibly the most impactful part of the movie is the closeness to the action that the father and son reporters were: down to … |

So, apparently Canadians were in Afghanistan as well. Hyena road is a highly entertaining hodgepodge of intense fighting, espionage, politics, and even a love affair thrown in. Although the Canadians are known for their cool, Hyena doesn’t hold back on the intense fighting and gruesome details,… |

A fun little jaunt to Afghanistan by the quirky Bill Murray. Even with his increasingly old and grizzled demeanor, he continues to pull off that special brand of snarky humor, even if it is a bit more subdued than in days of old. And speaking of subdued, don’t blink or you might miss Bruce Will… |

Son of God had the potential to be an Easter season blockbuster,but instead – it mostly fell flat. Instead of big-screen immersion, you get a made-for-TV feel. Instead of Jesus as a dynamic, powerful presence – you get a wimpy, almost icky man. Instead of a sense of good and evil, you get this… |

Yet another take on the Christian biblical history of Jesus, but this time from the perspective of a rough but chisled Roman Legionaire. This is actually refreshing, because it doesn’t really focus too much on the religious stuff, but rather comes across as more of an ancient Roman ‘whodunnit’. … |
