They Got This

Early 2013 is shaping up nicely for action movies with the vets from the 80s.  In January Arnold is back from politics and cameos and leads the way in The Last Stand.  This a good looking movie for Arnold to get his action groove back on.


On February 1 Sly is back in Bullet to the Head as an assassin who teams up with a cop to take down an enemy they have in common.  This movie is getting some positive buzz after getting pushed back from its April 2012 release.  Director Walter Hill (48 Hours, The Long Riders) makes his long waited return to action movies finally.


And on Valentines Day Bruce Wills returns as detective John McClain in It's a Good Day to Die Hard or Die Hard 5 as I call it around my house.  McClain partners with his son in Russia to stop a nuclear  weapons heist.  Just what every father and son should do.  Now, how do I convince the wife to see this on Valentines?



I love these guys and I am glad they are still making action movies.  I fear the future of the action star after these guys have to hang it up.  On a making of feature on the Expendables while Sly was working on casting he mentioned that all these guys trying out for the movie were always looking in the mirror and were more worried about their hair more then learning how to take a punch.  Now that is scary.


TRON the 3rd

Disney has finally decided to put some more quarters in the machine and move forward with another TRON movie.  Star Garret Hedlund from TRON Legacy returns as Sam Flynn as does director Joseph Kosinski.  There is not much word on a story yet as the script is still being worked on but I bet it will look really cool and hopefully there is a little more to it this time.  I got next game!

A Christmas Message from Batman


Movie Poster Wednesday- Christmas Vacation


New Release Tuesday

The sleeper hit of the summer and from what I read "One of the funniest movies of all time!"  Seth McFarland is a freakin genius.  Family Guy and now this.  I have already had fun with this title as an older lady at Wal Mart was checking me out (not me,the movie) and goes, "Oh, that looks cute.  Me:  "Uh, not sure you would like this."

Universal really wanted to get every penny out of this franchise since Matt Damon bowed out and this flick turned out quite good and will probably continue.  Great spy action flick.


It's about time this came out on blu.  Star and director Warren Beatty turned out a really good comic book movie way before they were so main stream.  Great cinematography and colors and the cast!   The cast!  Al Pacino, Madonna, William Forsythe, Kathy Bates, Dick Van Dyke, Dustin Hoffman, James Cann, snd the great Henry Silva.

I remember this late 70s action flick to be quite good and just look at who is involved.  Roger Moore was at his 007 height at this time.  I look forward to this.


Time to Go Get a Christmas Tree!

Batman Can Impress


Movie Poster Wednesday-Love Actually


New Release Tuesday

I love Batman and this was a fitting conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy.  I would have liked a little more Batman in a Batman movie but the story was so compelling I made do without.  I will keep this spoiler free but I am not liking what I am hearing about the new JLA movie and what they may do with Batman.

A new horror anthology that has been getting some good press and hype this year.  Let's hope it is good as they say and a segment is directed by Ti West (House of the Devil, The Innkeepers) a director that done some good work so far in his career.  A sequel to this is already in the works and is appropriately called S-VHS.

Classic Christmas Horror finally gets a DVD re-release.  Out of print copies of this have been going for $100 on ebay.  A kid goes a little nuts on some people on you guessed it, Christmas.

Anchor Bay has granted us a Christmas miracle in remaking Silent Night, Deadly Night.  Stars Malcom Mcdowell (A Clockwork Orange, Rob Zombie's Halloween) as the Sheriff hunting down a really bad Santa!
