The 4th entry in the Expendables franchise is closer in line with the 2nd and feels a bit incongruous. A lot of the original cast is back (and Curtis Jackson is a solid edition) but the change in the cast goes almost entirely unexplained. The 3rd installme...

I am The Hague! I guess it shouldn't be surprising that this entry into the franchise — the entry with the most demonstrable emotion — ends up being the best of the bunch (so far). Things kick off with a rescue mission to pick up Wesley Snipes (an old ...

Every bit as over the top as the first one (but this time with more self-referential cheese courtesy of the governator). Norris was a fun edition (yes, I watched Walker back in the day — there was nothing else on). I'll also admit to never having seen a ...

Riddles with an equal amount of clichés and bullets, this is an absurdly over the top action flick with an incredible cast. Good? No. Fun? Absolutely.

A movie with about as much depth as the music played at the concert that anchors the narrative. It is about as entertaining as the concert though — fun in the moment, over the top and not all that memorable. There are a few twists (it wouldn’t be a Shy...

If you encounter Rambo, leave him alone. If you can't do that and he actually talks to you — maybe, just maybe — listen to him. If you can't do any of that, well, I wish you luck. Taps the sign. This time it's Rambo's take on a popular Liam Neeson fran...

If you encounter Rambo, leave him alone. If you can't do that and he actually talks to you — maybe, just maybe — listen to him. If you can't do any of that, well, I wish you luck. Lots of people irritate or ignore Rambo and things go poorly for most of...

Historical context isn't particularly kind to this one, but it's a fun action movie (with some pacing issues) and Stallone in peak John Rambo form. Stick to stick combat, hand to hand combat, a plethora of guns, helicopter on tank violence and a brief Kurt...

A bleak, sparsely scored horror movie that touches on the occult and lets Maika Monroe shine throughout. It also showcases Nicolas Cage in one of his best late-career performances this side of Mandy . More unnerving than outright terrifying and perfectly p...

A fun action movie, though a pale shadow of the first in the series. Less nuance and — in its place — more violence and jingoism.
