    Lionsgate’s: UNLOCKED

    August 31, 2017 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Every so often I am sent a screener code by a studio and asked if I’d be interested in reviewing a film that will have a limited release. I love this, of course, because it makes me feel like a real insider. This time it was Lionsgate who emailed me about a Spy thriller called UNLOCKED. It stars Noomi Rapace (Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Series) John Malkovich, Michael Douglas, Orlando Bloom and Toni Collette (who looks just like Annie Lennox in this movie). At first I didn’t understand the title until I watched an interview with Rapace, who plays Alice…

    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.

    ARGO (Ben Affleck)

    October 12, 2012 /

    by James Bradford, Guest Critic (and boyfried 🙂 Ben Affleck has proven to me that he is a true talent, and that talent, lies behind the camera. Gone Baby Gone ranks among one of the top child abduction movies. Not only did it keep you guessing; but the gritty, questionable protagonist, played with amazing truth by Amy Ryan, gave the movie remarkable originality. The Town brought heart to the heist movie franchise. With super great chase scenes and that authentic Boston flavor. And now Argo successfully manages to keep us glued to a plot in which we already know the outcome. The Hollywood element to this film is not only…

    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…
