Haven't done one of these in a while, so I'm playing a little catch up. The Gallows: 4/10 A short standard-issue found footage horror movie that really doesn't add anything to the genre. I think Richard Roeper was being a little to generous giving this one a B. I'd rate it no higher than a C. Ant-Ma...

While I'm at it, I came across Lords of Salem on cable last week and was reminded of how truly awful that hunk of shit was. I picked The Counselor as the worst movie I saw that year, but only because I had high expectations of it. I knew Lords of Salem was gonna suck, but I never imagined just how b...

The pickings have been pretty slim on both the movies and cable front that I'm starting to watch Lifetime movies out of boredom. Which leads me to.... Damaged 6.5/10 Chris Klein plays this teacher who gets obsessed with the hot rich girl next door (Merritt Patterson) who is a psychopath, of course. ...

A Million Ways to Die in the West: 5/10
I'm going to file this one under mildly entertaining... And this is coming from someone who though his Lincoln joke at the Oscars was the best highlight from that show. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. It was meh!

Birdman: 6/10 I liked bits and pieces of this, but this wasn't the best picture of the year. Keaton and Norton were good (has Norton ever been bad in anything?), and Stone also has her moments. I also liked how they went for the single shot effect (which I haven't seen since Silent House... if anybo...

Nightcrawler: 7/10
I'd like to say this reminded me of my days working as a freelance writer, but can't.

DEATH ROW JOE wrote:Burt Reynolds in Stick - somewhere between Heat and Malone

Don't mess with Malone!

I wonder if Malone ever went back to that town to bang Cynthia Gibb.

Red Army: 4 out of 5 pucks!
Saw this hockey doc at a special screening All-Star Weekend in Columbus.
I enjoyed it.

Sin City 2: 6/10 Wasn't crazy about renting this one, because I thought the first one was only so/so, but the pickings were slim at the local Redbox so I took a chance. I liked it a lot better than the original, and Eva Green was the big reason why. She just steals the show. I'm also convinced there...

I can't help but think I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel at the local Redbox, these days. The last two movies I rented are easily the worst 2014 movies I saw all year....... Easy. The Guest: 2/10 For the second year in a row, Richard Roper has conned me into seeing the worst film of the year (he...

I really didn't like the first Purge . They set up this really interesting premise and then made it a home invasion movie. Why bother? I enjoyed Purge: Anarchy a LOT more. I agree. When the dad apologized to his daughter for not letting her scumbag boyfriend kill him. I think I actually said aloud:...

I rented three over the weekend. First up... Deliver us from evil: 4/10 The horror movie is too over the top in terms of everything, from the thick new york accents to the whole supernatural shebang. It probably could have been played off better if they hinted at the supernatural stuff, but it segue...

Die Hard (9/10) - Best action movie of all time, hands down. "Now I have a machine gun. Ho-Ho-Ho." Saw the movie over the weekend. Special 1 day only screening at local theater. Fun to watch with an audience. Have seen the film many times but never on the big screen. So many great/funny 1...

The Equalizer: 6/10
Saw this the same week I saw Walk Among the Tombstones.
I thought Walk was better giving it a 7.5.
The weird thing is seeing some of the same actors in both movies.

an american werewolf in london(1981 david naughton,griffin dunne) 7/10 hadn't seen this movie in a while. good scary movie with some humor. i'm gonna catch some shit for sayin' this but i think i like an american werewolf in paris a little better . Hey I think I do as well! You're both high.... wit...

A Walk Among the Tombstones: 7.5/10 Effectively creepy. I love how Liam Neeson is essentially Charles Bronson these days. Riff Tracks: Karate Kid III: 8/10 I always thought KKIII was funny enough on its own (Terry Silver kicks ass, and is a personal hero of mine), but the Riff Track guys do a 'purrr...

I was off on vacation this week, so I caught a pair of matinees. Expendables 3: 5/10 The second one was so much better that it was tough to top. Story was also fairly predictable, although I thought one of the youngans was going to turn bad guy, but didn't. In the end I left the theater thinking: Me...

Game of Death - how in the hell was this made? What could be the worst, most egregious cash grab movie ever. Rudimentary laughable graphics, cut and pasting Bruce Lee's head on a stunt double at ridiculous angles, badly dubbed dialogue, even for the Anglos. Total piece of shit. And for a billion Ch...

The Counselor 0/10 holy fuck did that make no sense…if you want to see some Cameron Diaz or Penelope cruz hotness….be my guess but for a story and a plot…..BLOWS You got that right. The Counselor was the worst movie I saw all last year, and that's saying something, since I usually go see some prett...

Since Captain America, I've seen a bunch to the point where I almost lost track. Here is a quick round-up Amazing Spiderman 2: 7/10 stars Decent sequel that didn't go overboard in the - we need to squeeze 80 different characters into this one to top the last one - formula.... but that's probably wha...

The Man With The Golden Gun - 4/5 Roger Moore's second outing as 007. Still holds up. Granted Moore played the role mainly for the laughs but I enjoy watching him as Bond. Christopher Lee steals every scene he is in though. Scaramanga was bad-ass. I always thought the Man With the Golden Gun was th...

Oculus: 5.5/10 This one originally had rental written all over it, but Richard Roeper convinced me I had to see this now giving it an A in his review. I think he was high. Its a Mediocre horror movie that had its moments and was watchable, but didn't live up to the magnitude that he hyped it up to b...

Starcrash - starring the beautiful wooden actress Carolyn Munroe and obviously needing a check Joe Spinell and Christopher Plummer. Special effects that were beyond low budget level even by '78 standards. Marjoe Gortner looks stoned throughout and the Hoff pre- Night Rider shows up mid way as the h...

Captain America: The Winter Soldier 7.5/10
Solid popcorn movie and I was entertained.

Delivery Man: 5.5/10
If this were a drink it would be: Vince Vaughn light.

The Great Gatsby: NA/10
Watched about a quarter of this on cable, but lost interest and didn't finish it.

THE CALL. Hallie Barry is an LA 911 operator. Suspenseful, creepy, shocking and a good lesson about risky behavior. 6/10 The Call actually surprised me with how good it was, because I wasn't expecting much.... But then it surprised me again with a suckass ending in the final 10-15 minutes when it f...

***Why the hell was " Lee Daniels` The Butler " black listed from any nominations?*** I hate to admit it, but this kinda pisses me off. The Butler is a wonderfully done film. It transcends the subject matter to a point where everyone, including well to do whites can enjoy the film, and ye...

Captain Phillips 8/10 I already saw this at the movies, but rented it for my mother and watched it again with her. I still think its a toss up between this and Prisoners as my favorite movie of last year. On the cable front Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret: 6/10 Typical Lifetime flick, but Tania Raym...

On the cable front,

Broken City: 4/10
Should have called it Broken movie.
My suspension of disbelief snapped wildly the moment Marky Mark went from going on a Meatloaf-sized booze bender to walking onto a crime scene stone cold sober moments later. Can someone say continuity error?
