Rating: PG-13 Stars: Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Edgar Ramirez, Toby Kebbell, Rosamund Pike, Bill Nighy, Danny Huston, John Bell Writers: Dan Mazeau & David Leslie Johnson, story by Greg Berlanti & David Leslie Johnson & Dan Mazeau Director: Jonathan Liebesman Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: March 30, 2012 WRATH OF THE TITANS is actually more or less okay, but there are a number of elements that offer themselves up for nitpicking criticism at the outset. For one thing, while “titans” was being used figuratively to describe large and imposing beings and monsters in this movie’s forerunner, 2010’s CLASH […]Read On »

So put your feet up, grab some popcorn and check out this week’s selections. MOVIES THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO – First of, Rooney Mara. Wow. Way to give it all (and I do mean all in terms of body and soul) into a character. So much better than Noomi Rapace. Not in terms of acting but in terms of just […]Read On »

THE RAID: REDEMPTION movie poster | ©2012 Sony Pictures Classics

Rating: R Stars: Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, Doni Alamsyah, Yayan Ruhian, Pierre Gruno, Ray Sahetapy Writer: Gareth Huw Evans Director: Gareth Huw Evans Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics Release Date: U.S. March 23, 2012 There is no such thing as nonstop action in a feature film. Sooner or later, a character will get into an elevator, peer apprehensively around a corner or ask a question. This reviewer is duly bound to report that all of these things happen at one point or another in THE RAID: REDEMPTION. These moments stand out in this context, because they are among the very few […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Nicolas Cage, January Jones, Guy Pearce, Jennifer Carpenter, IronE Singtleton, Harold Perrineau, Xander Berkeley Writer: Robert Tannen, story by Todd Hickey and Robert Tannen Director: Roger Donaldson Distributor: Anchor Bay Films Release Date: March 16, 2012 SEEKING JUSTICE is a somewhat gonzo mixture of THE STAR CHAMBER, PAY IT FORWARD and any number of movies about a good man who gets himself into a bad situation. Of course, we can see that Nicolas Cage’s Will Gerard is making a big mistake long before he does. Still, thanks to some nifty action sequences staged by director Roger Donaldson, […]Read On »
