A by the book post-apocalyptic sci-fi jaunt. Solid performances throughout, a plot anchored by personal stories and committed performances throughout. Original or spectacular? No. Fun? Absolutely. I wasn’t expecting the turn at the end that the reapers w...

I love this exact brand of 80s/early 90s sci-fi cheese. We’re 7 years past 2017 but it feels like we’re hurtling towards a similarly stupid post-apocalyptic society. There’s spandex, dorky one-liners and plenty of violence dished out by Arnold. Fanta...

A polar bear fell on me. Violent, hilariously 80s, cliched and utterly ridiculous. It's a classic. Swayze does Swayze things and it's oh so appropriate that the director's name is Rowdy. (Also, the Jake Gyllenhaal remake was better.)

'Murica! Probably a story worth being told but it ends up being a mediocre action movie with a foreign policy disaster as the backdrop.

Dull, violent and devoid of a discernible plot or engaging performances. It’s vaguely entertaining and not totally unwatchable but it’s basically all over the top violence, gore and juvenile humor.

A predictable story but a classic nonetheless. An underdog story in every respect and a film that rises above the limitations of its script by virtue of the impassioned performances of its cast. Among the best sports movies ever made.

One of those movies that aims for profundity but instead works best as idle background noise. Nic Cage does Nic Cage things and well, yeah — good enough.

I’ll buy that for a dollar! Union-busting, privatization of vital public services, rampant corruption, tech companies over-promising (who needs police when you have an untested robot that can’t navigate stairs? Or why not test satellite-mounted lasers ...

What a day to watch a movie about Pennsylvania! An action movie focused in on two employees trying to do the right thing for their families and communities in the face of corporate greed and incompetence. Pretty familiar story, right? Fun movie. Chugga chu...
