Home At The Movies – Jack Reacher Review
Leave a Comment »When you think about Tom Cruise’s body of work, you automatically envision a guy’s guy who would make the perfect action hero. Well, you’d be right. Direct from a blockbuster role in Mission Impossible 4 or 5, whatever number it is now, he has cemented himself in a ‘hero’ role. This movie Jack Reacher is [...]
Home At The Movies – Seven Psychopaths Review
Leave a Comment »When you first hear the title ‘Seven Psychopaths’, you probably think about a horror move with serial killers running around all over the place. It’s not far from the truth in regards to conception, but it’s more of film noir piece with a lot of comedy thrown in to give it that Pulp Fiction feel. [...]
Home at the Movies – Review of Cold Light of Day
Leave a Comment »It will be a ‘Cold Light of Day’ when this is compared to Taken with Liam Neeson. No, seriously, this film that went direct-to-dvd has some real strong points as far as trying copy the Taken franchise. First of all, if you thought Taken was good, both parts, then ‘Cold Light of Day’ will scratch [...]
Home at the Movies – Review of Man with the Iron Fists
Leave a Comment »When I first laid eyes on the trailer for ‘Man with the Iron Fists’, the kind of action, martial arts, and gruesome body and limb count reminded me of Kill Bill and Kill Bill 2, a couple of top notch films with Uma Thurman in the title role. This, however, is no Kill Bill, but [...]
Home at the Movies – The Watch Review
Leave a Comment »You know when the big movie executives start thinking of names for their blockbuster summer features, they come up with quick names that really try to lure you into going to the movies. Well, with ‘The Watch’, they should have taken out ‘the’ and replaced it with ‘don’t’, as in ‘Don’t Watch’ because this is [...]
Home at the Movies – Savages Review
Leave a Comment »This movie literally started out with a bang, but I’ll leave that for you to figure out. I’m sure you’re expecting something big to be revealed right off, and you are not far off. Anyway, watch it and see for yourself. The one thing you have to know is that this movie is not for the [...]
Home at the Movies – Expendables 2 – Review
Leave a Comment »First of all, I don’t believe the name Expendables 2 should have been penned that way. It would have been better served as Expendable Too as the body count was, well, to put it bluntly, I couldn’t count how many sprayed-with-lead bodies there actually were. However, in saying that, I would feel confident in saying that [...]
Home at the Movies – Campaign
Leave a Comment »You know when Zach Galifianakis and Will Farrell get together to do a comedy film, that you are either going to hate it or love it. Well, in this case, I’d say there are mixed reviews that favour more towards Will Farell’s character Cam Brady and no so much Zach’s unbalanced portrayal of Marty Huggins. [...]
Home at the Movies – Snow White and the Huntsman – Review
Leave a Comment »Well, first off this is not your happy-go-lucky prancing through the woods to see the seven dwarfs Disney version of Snow White. No, this one is dark, brooding, eerie, and full of dark mazes. Hey, who said you couldn’t corrupt a storybook staple like Snow White. Not these jackals at Hollywood, that’s for sure. So, like I [...]
Home At The Movies: Hunger Games – Review
Leave a Comment »You know when they make a teenie-bopper movie into a movie, you can appreciate the fact that it’s geared toward a younger more female-based audience. That was the case with the Twilight franchise, so when Hunger Games was made into a feature film, I really expected it to be for teens once again, but surprise-surprise, [...]
