Red 2 - 6/10 Good movie. Bruce Willis and John Malcovich make a good pair and provide a lot of funny moments in between some good action scenes.
Mary-Louise Parker makes out with everyone and Catherine Zeta Jones looks sexy as always!

Traveled several days last week, so movie watching was down some.
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I think it would take another watch to fully “get it”, but this was a pretty fun watch. Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer are both excellent, and make a surprisingly strong duo. At its heart this is a dark comedy, but there’s some mystery and romance mixed in, too. Fans of the noir setting will love it, as will those who are craving a strong performance from RDJ.
6.5/10
Glory Road (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Has the typical formulaic approach to the sports inspirational story, but does have some strong performances and a compelling enough story to be entertaining. Not sure whatever happened to Josh Lucas, but he seems to have disappeared in the last few years. I thought he was good here, and I’ve generally found him to be competent in his other performances, too.
6.5/10
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – It seems Guy Ritchie is most comfortable directing these sort of films, and though this one isn’t on par with Snatch, it’s still a decent crime film. Features an early performance from Jason Statham and the supporting cast is good too. This isn’t my personal favorite in terms of genre, but this is well done, and has plenty of good humor mixed in with a solid story.
6/10
Son of Batman (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – This is the newest of the DC animated features, and is better than the last few of those I’ve seen. Still not on par with Under the Red Hood, but worth a watch for fans of the character. This explores the relationship between Batman and his son (surprise!) that he fathered with Talia.

As a movie watcher first and collector second, I sometimes find myself with movies I probably wouldn’t buy if I were to go back and do it again. This week I mostly focused on these titles. The majority of these were really cheap (~$5) or seemed interesting enough at the time.
50 Dead Men Walking (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Admittedly I don’t know very much about the IRA and British occupation of Ireland, so it’s hard for me to judge this movie on anything other than entertainment – which it does a decent job at. The movie follows Jim Sturgess’s character, who’s recruited by the IRA and then subsequently becomes an informant for the intelligence branch of the Irish’s equivalent of the FBI. I mostly picked this one up because it was $5, so I wasn’t expecting much to begin with, however, it’s a well done movie and Sturgess is competent in the lead. I also found it odd that Kinglsey plays a good guy in this movie, not the normal villain we’re used to seeing him star as.
5/10
Stalingrad (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – It’s kind of an oddball movie, but I guess that’s to be expected when you’re dealing with a foreign film. It does have some decent visuals, but for the most part, I found it overly dramatic and over acted. Again, this may be normal in Russian cinema, it just seemed strange when compared to American war films. I will say it’s not necessarily a bad movie, but if you’re expecting a very realistic film about a brutal battle in the Russian heartland, look elsewhere because this isn’t it. Lastly, I’m not sure why they chose to subtitle the German dialogue, only to use dubbed audio for the Russian dialogue; I found this to be jarring and detracted from any real immersion in the story. This is definitely a YMMV movie, though, as plenty of American viewers have found it to be enjoyable, so take my $0.02 with that in mind.
4/10
Frozen (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Finally got around to seeing the most popular animated movie from last year. Overall I enjoyed it as much as I could as an adult male who doesn’t have kids along for the ride. As is the case with all of Disney’s animated movies, there’s an underlying message that everyone can connect to, regardless of age and/or gender. Not one of my personal favorites of Disney, but people of all ages will enjoy it.
6/10
Antwone Fisher (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – This was Denzel’s directorial debut, starring him and Derek Luke. Luke starred in Friday Night Lights and Glory Road, and I wish we could see more of him today. He was one of the bright up and coming actors in the early 2000s, but he’s kind of faded in the last 4-5 years. Anyway, this is a good movie, with good performances and a fairly emotional story of the title characters’ journey. He grows up without his parents (never even met them), is taken in by horrible foster parents, and just can’t seem to get everything together. It’s not necessarily a fun watch, but is worth a viewing for some inspiration.
7/10
Flight (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – Enjoyed this as much the second time around as the first, and that’s normally a very good sign. This was Denzel’s best performance of the last few years, and probably only behind Training Day and Man on Fire overall for his career. The opening 25 minutes or so is outstanding, which is a detriment to the rest of the movie, as it just can’t match that intensity. Other than being a little slow at times, it’s an effective human drama / character study.
7/10
Zookeeper (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Kevin James has a certain likeable quality, but other than that, this is just your typical, predictable little comedy. You’ll have the ending pegged after about 10 minutes of viewing. It has a few decent laughs thanks to the lead character’s antics and interactions with the animals. Completely worth passing on, but there are worse ways to spend 90 minutes of your time.
5/10
Street Kings (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – Directed by the writer of Training Day, David Ayer, he’s working on the ground he seems to be most familiar with, the dirty cop drama. This one stars Keanu Reeves, and also features Chris Evans, Forest Whitaker, and Hugh Laurie in some smaller, less significant roles. It makes for an entertaining ride, but is packed with little clichés that are rife in these types of movies. The plot and acting are not as solid as in Training Day, but the film moves along briskly and manages to stay entertaining for the duration. Ayer directed End of Watch after this, so he seems to be trending upward. As an aside, I guess it’s just because of how good of a guy he seems to be (and how unfortunate his life has been at times), but I like Keanu.
6.5/10
Blitz (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – A pretty typical ‘Statham’ movie; this one he’s a cop in London, where a criminal is killing policemen from the department he’s in. The villain is played by Aidan Gillen, who you’ll probably know as Littlefinger from Game of Thrones; he’s surprisingly good as an extremely psychotic murderer in Blitz. It also has David Morrissey in it, who was the Governor from The Walking Dead. Overall, fans of Statham will like it, as will those who are less inclined to like his more over-the-top stuff like Crank and Transporter.
