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.
