Broken City (2013)

DVD- 1hr. 49min.
First Viewing
The type of movie that's destined to sit in the middle of the $5 bin at Wal-Mart. The cast is strong, but there's nothing new or interesting being done here.

Beautiful Creatures (2013)

DVD- 2hrs. 4min.
First Viewing
When it doesn't feel the need to adhere to the Y/A audience, it's actually pretty enjoyable. Surprisingly good cast is clearly having a ball, and the movie looks pretty good. Better than expected.

Crimson Tide (1995)

DVD- 1hr. 55min.
First Viewing
A tense, claustrophobic thriller featuring two great actors at the top of their game. It is a bit too familiar though (I've seen several knock-off types).

The Proposition (2005)

DVD- 1hr. 44min.
First Viewing
Incredibly slow and dour, yet intriguing all the same. The cast is very strong, the direction subtle, and the cinematography gorgeous.

The Impossible (2012)

DVD- 1hr. 54min.
First Viewing
Basically your typical "uplifting" family story, but quite well done. The cast brings an incredible amount of emotion to the film, which makes the film a lot better than most in the genre and director Juan Antonio Bayona is never overplays his hand.

The Last Stand (2013)

DVD- 1hr. 47min.
First Viewing
Decent actioner featuring a solid cast, including one of Schwarzenegger's better recent performances. It's not very memorable though.
BradWesley123's rating:

Face/Off (1997)

Netflix- 2hrs. 18min.
First Viewing
You don't watch Face/Off because you want an intelligent, nuanced character study. You watch it to see shit blow up, and Travolta and Cage chew scenes; in this regard, it succeeds.

Stand Up Guys (2013)

DVD- 1hr. 35min.
First Viewing
The story's been done a thousand times, and it's done fairly blandly this time around, but Pacino, Walken, and Arkin are a lot of fun to watch.

To Rome with Love (2012)

DVD- 1hr. 52min.
First Viewing
Despite a couple of decent stories and a game cast, this is Allen operating at his most uninspired.

Escape from Planet Earth (2013)

DVD- 1hr. 29min.
First Viewing
Though it does show some occasional signs of wit, this is nothing more than a bland, cheaply made animated movie that history will forget. Too harsh?
BradWesley123's rating:


June 24th
Stoker (2013)

DVD- 1hr. 39min.
First Viewing
Intriguing, yet disappointing. It's effectively subtle and creepy, but it's too short. Just when things start to get moving, it ends. The cast is great though, with Wasikowska and Goode doing some of the best work of their careers.

Commando (1985)






DVD- 1hr. 30min.
First Viewing
Pretty much the definition of "so bad it's good." To it's credit though, the action is fun.
Stray Observation: There's a lot of homoerotic tension between Bennett and Matrix, even for an action movie. I feel like there's some unresolved relationship drama between them.

Blu-Ray- 1hr. 37min.
First Viewing
What a waste. The tone is all over the place; it wants to a comedy, horror, action, and parody without ever committing to any of them. The story is a mess, and the direction too. Arterton is fine, but Renner just seems miscast. The only real plus here is the makeup, which is admittedly solid.
