Movie Poster Wednesday- Open Range

New Release Tuesday

Sly Stallone marks the first of his three movies of 2013 with this 80s throw back action film.  Sly stars as a hit man who teams with a cop to avenge the death of his partner.  This was a really good action flick and I hope it scores well on home video.  Directed well by Walter Hill (48 Hours, The Long Riders) and he brings a great old school action feel to the movie.  Jason Momoa is fantastic as the bad guy in this but Sung Kang is absolutely awful as he spends his whole time on the movie talking on the phone or whining to Sly.  Look for Sly in The Escape Plan in October and Grudge Match at Christmas!

This is a great western series from AMC about the railroad moving West and the struggles of some individuals who are involved with it.  Season two switched from season one’s revenge tale to our anti hero being estranged for a bit but then redeems himself to lead the railroad again.  I will not spoil anything but the season finale was quite shocking so I am really interested to see where season three takes us in August.

This semi remake scored some positive reviews and looks really scary.  I try not to read much about things I really want to see so I will be checking this out during the weekend.  It cannot be too bad if Bruce Campbell was on board as a producer.

A good looking baseball bio about Jackie Robinson, the player that broke the Major League Baseball's color barrier. 

Happy Birthday Harry Dean Stanton!

The great Harry Dean Stanton turns 87 today.  That is unbelievable seeing how much this guy has smoked.  Any way sit back and enjoy some Cool Hand Luke, Kelley's Heroes, Alien, Escape From New York, Repo Man, and his cameo in The Avengers!

Sharknado!

Everyone has been going crazy for Syfy's Sharknado that debuted last night.  Yes, just look at the poster and it is a bit but a funny one at that and the trailer is even better.  I usually cannot stomach Syfy's original movies but may have to check this one out to just get a few laughs from the spare cast.

New Release Tuesday

It has been slow on the release front lately but that will change next week.

1981 produced two classic werewolf movies with the best being An American Werewolf in London and this as the runner up.  Dee Wallace plays a reporter that covers some grisly murders and uncovers something much more hairy.  Great stuff here from director Joe Dante.

A political, sci-fi kind of thriller where the government tries to cover up a satellite collision with a UFO in space.  Stars the late, great Darren McGavin.

Based on a true story, North Face is a suspenseful adventure film about a competition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps. Set in 1936, as Nazi propaganda urges the nation's Alpinists to conquer the unclimbed north face of the Swiss massif - the Eiger – as two reluctant German climbers begin their daring ascent.  Clint Eastwood conquered this mountain in 1976.

One of the funniest movies ever!   Steve Martin was the king of comedy with this and his Saturday Night Live appearances back in the day.  Martin and director Carl Reiner could do no wrong on this and I hope this is the original cut of the film as opposed to the more “politically correct” cut.  The highest of recommendations.

Also one of the funniest movies ever!  This is a comedy composed of many segments and also has a short spoof of Enter the Dragon called ‘A Fistful of Yen’.  This is movie is hilarious and has a ton of cameos.  Directed by an unknown John Landis at the time.  Also the highest of recommendations.
