    GLASS

    January 16, 2019 /

    I was on Rotten Tomatoes reading some horrifically mean reviews of M. Night Shyamalan’s sequel to UNBREAKABLE & SPLIT – all complete with horrible puns on cracked glass and glasses half full etc… Okay even as a huge Philly film supporter, I’m not going to say I have enjoyed all of Night’s movies, or that I’ve even seen them all; but I can’t understand why movie critics really get off on tearing him down, they want to hate his movies. Many of them that will admit Unbreakable and Split were both pretty good, seem to do so reluctantly. I can’t think of another filmmaker who gets such vitriolic treatment from…

    Just dip our balls in honey & stake us to an ant hill: RED 2

    July 19, 2013 /

    This time the movie opens not with Frank being bored with civilian life, instead it's his girlfriend Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) love interest from RED. The two are in COSTCO, Frank's picking up stuff for their BBQ dinner with Sarah absently munching on a jumbo snack bag of something, looking detached and vacant - trademark MLP.

    LOOPER

    September 29, 2012 /

    Writer/Director Rian Johnson created a very balanced film. There's enough action & violence for testosterone driven movie-goers; enough plausible science for geeks; unique enough for indie movie-goers to see its merit.

    Commentary – Red

    October 14, 2010 /

    …once again the love affair between a graphic novel and Hollywood has been consummated to satisfaction. Bruce Willis plays Paul Moses who is a retired CIA agent. Although the back story for his early retirement is rather mundane and never becomes a plot point, the opening montage does a good job of showing us that although he’s living among average suburbanites, he’s not feeling content. The highlight of his month is pretending his pension check has not arrived, giving him an excuse to call Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker), a customer service, paper pusher who has no idea she even inadvertently works for the CIA. Their understated, flirtatious phone romance, picks…
