The Resident Evil franchise is back with a fifth movie. There is plenty of action, plenty of zombies, all in 3D. Simply put, it may be the best one yet.

Milla Jovovich jumps back into her role as Alice; this time she is trapped inside a compound making this a [...]
Bradley Cooper plays a writer who rips off another writer who just happened to be Jeremy Irons. Bad idea? Oh, I think so… Bradley Cooper wants to be a professional writer but he can’t because, well, he’s not good enough. He comes across a transcript form shelved for years, publishes it and tells the world it’s his work when we ALL know it’s not “The Words.” Jeremy Irons plays the writer who actually wrote the book. He confronts Cooper’s character, [...]
The summer is wrapping up and we already have a film that has oscar implications.?

There is never a dull moment in this film that is narrated by Shia LaBeof, who plays Forrest’s younger brother . Pierce plays a psychotic federal agent hell bent on stopping the brothers. Jessica Chastain plays a former dancer [...]
Bad acting, clunky car chase scenes, saucy language and perverted violence are all things to describe this week’s review. Dax Shepard plays a reformed bank robber living with his girlfriend and real-life fiance Kristen Bell. When they go on a trip to LA for a job interview the fun begins in Hit and Run. The two are being followed by Tom Arnold, an official overseeing Shepard’s Witness Protection Progam and they are also being stalked by Bradley Cooper, who plays [...]
The 80s action heroes head out on another mission, making this sequel better than the original. Our team of action heroes get betrayed on an overseas mission, and they set out on revenge in “The Expendables 2.” Sure, there are dopey scenes but the action sequences are great, with Chuck Norris’ character stealing every scene he is in. Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a great bad guy, and his fight scenes with Sylvester Stallone are some of the best I’ve seen [...]
With Matt Damon’s character gone we are introduced to Aaron Cross, played by Jeremy Renner. He’s a member of a group of elite agents on high-risk, long-term missions in “The Bourne Legacy.” Within the few minutes we see just how tough this new character is as he goes in search of some pills that make him physically and mentally the ultimate soldier. But his activities threaten to expose some wrongdoing inside the U.S. government, and he butts heads with Eric [...]
At the movies, a recall of an old film with different actors, better special effects, and a predictable outcome. Set in the future Colin Farrell plays Doug Quaid, a factory worker bored with his job. Despite having a smoking hot wife, Kate Beckinsale, he is unhappy with his life. He soon finds out that the vivid fantasies he’s been having are his real life when he signs up for a vacation mind trip in, Total Recall. Quaid soon finds out [...]
A group of funny guys attempt to make a funny movie that has really bad timing and may be unwatchable. Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade join forces in a neighborhood to fight off an alien invasion in “The Watch.” “The Watch” has a crippling identity problem. This movie desperately wants to be “Ghostbusters,” where funny actors confront supernatural happenings, but it never happens. It settles on below-the-belt potty humor that’s just not that funny. The film, [...]
Manny the Mammoth (Ray Romano), Diego the Sabertooth Tiger (Denis Leary), and Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo) get stuck on a giant ice cube in “Ice Age: Continental Drift.” Our gang of misfits runs into Pirate Captain Gutt (voiced by Peter Dinklage) on board the iceberg. This is followed by laughs, some slapstick and a few musical numbers. There’s nothing in any way really awful about “Ice Age: Continental Drift” in 3D, just as there’s no particular reason to recommend [...]
Spider-Man is back, and we love it! Andrew Garfield takes over from Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, a nerdy kid who gets bitten by a radioactive arachnid in “The Amazing Spider-Man.” The film is somewhat of a reboot about the origins of Spider-Man. Parker gets bullied in school, meets a pretty girl, gets spidey powers. The family falls victim to street thugs; he becomes a superhero. It’s pretty much the same storyline, just a bit grittier than the one 10 [...]
