Battleship

I’ll try to keep this short and simple, because it is a movie adaptation of the board game Battleship. Yes, this is an “adaptation” of the board game. It looked like crap when it was released. It was in the

Casino Royale (1967)

Yes, I watched the 1967 Casino Royale spoof with Peter Sellers and Woody Allen. The one were David Nivens is the real James Bond and everyone else is just using his name and code sign. About five minutes in I

Wrath of the Titans

Wrath-of-the-Titans_01

Well, if you didn’t enjoy Clash of the Titans I doubt you’ll enjoy the sequel. I’m not really sure whether I think this was an improvement at all. In some respects, I like that they streamlined the movie more. I

haywire1

Haywire is different. It’s an action movie more along thing lines of the Bourne films, not a Stallone film. There are not any big explosions or massive chase scenes. It’s fairly low-key 1 and straight forward. The movie isn’t anything

The Grey

All I kept hearing about The Grey was that it was Liam Neeson fighting wolves. That’s sort of true. I was underwhelmed by The Grey. I like Neeson and he’s been in a fair number of thrillers lately, so I
