The Mechanic - Blu-ray Review
A remake of the 1972 action film, The Mechanic sees Jason Statham stepping into the role of a weary hit man that was first brought to the screen by film icon Charles Bronson. It is a solid performance from Statham, and a decent action flick – as long as you don’t expect much from the plot. ... more

Death Race 2 – Blu-ray Review

Feb 6, 2011, 15:57 GMT

Death Race 2 – Blu-ray Review
For a prequel with a 2 at the end of the title, Death Race 2 is a decent action film that maintains the same look and feel as the 2008 remake of the original Death Race 2000. The film also does a good job setting up its Frankenstein character for future direct-to-DVD films – even if we know Frankenstein’s fate.

The Mechanic – Movie Review
Jason Statham plays what is by now his signature role – a rogue assassin with a heart of gold.  But what makes this something of a departure is that his character, Arthur, an elite assassin, commits a crime that doesn’t square with his own distinct hit man “moral” code.

Crank 2: High Voltage - Blu-ray Review
Hopped-up assassin Chev Chelios is back in the Red Bull-fueled ‘Crank 2: High Voltage’ - a sequel to the cult 2006 fave that left no camera trick or vulgarity unturned. Actually, I take that back – ‘Crank’ left out anal rape via shotgun but that’s what we have sequels for, right? ... more

The One – Blu-ray Review
A film I'm annoyed to announce that I've seen three times, 'The One', once positioned as a star vehicle for Jet Li riding on his initial success of 'Romeo Must Die' is a science-fiction action film devoid of both effective sci-fi ideas and effective action. ... more

Ghost of Mars – Blu-ray Review

Apr 1, 2009, 14:02 GMT

Ghost of Mars – Blu-ray Review
‘Ghosts of Mars’ is still John Carpenter’s last theatrical film, and with good reason, as it’s a derivative rehash of his own work ‘Assault on Precinct 13’ (itself a take on ‘Rio Bravo’). Cheap, ugly and rarely fun, even on a B-movie level, the campness is intentional to be sure but that doesn’t always make for enjoyable entertainment. ... more

Transporter 3 (Two-Disc Fully Loaded Edition) – DVD Review
I’ve not seen the other Transporter films.  I guess I’m just culturally deprived.  However, this third entry was a brainless action film that I actually had a good time watching.  Sure I had to roll my eyes a couple of times, but I put my brain into neutral and just went along for the ride.   ... more
