Denzel Washington returns as Robert McCall, serving an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed – but this time it’s personal. The tagline pretty much sums up how weird this movie was: “There is no equal”. Equal parts excellent action spy thriller and unintentionally cheesy action humor, I never found myself enjoying much of the film. Watchable if you’re bored and have nothing to do, though I’ve heard that being bored can sometimes open your mind to things that you should really be thinking about anyways. So, instead of watching “The Equalizer 2”, I suggest taking a couple hours for...

A deep-sea submersible filled with an international research crew lies disabled at the bottom of the Pacific after having been attacked by a massive shark previously thought to be extinct. With time running out, expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao) to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now he must risk his own life to save everyone trapped below…bringing him...

Set in riot-torn, near-future Los Angeles, ‘Hotel Artemis’ follows the Nurse, who runs a secret, members-only emergency room for criminals. Do not look up who’s in the movie. Jodie Foster is there, that’s all you need to know to get in the door and it’s much more enjoyable if you go in without knowing who else is eventually going to show up and blow your mind. Highly recommended.

Earth’s mightiest heroes exiled him to outer space. Now the Incredible Hulk has crash-landed on a distant alien planet, ruled by the tyrannical Red King, and he must become the planet’s mightiest gladiator if he wants to survive. Not as fantastic as the comic version, but damn close, this was an amazingly well done version of the story. I’d love to see a World War Hulk movie, but what are the odds of that happening?

When their ship crash-lands on a remote planet, the marooned passengers soon learn that escaped convict Riddick (Vin Diesel) isn’t the only thing they have to fear. Deadly creatures lurk in the shadows, waiting to attack in the dark, and the planet is rapidly plunging into the utter blackness of a total eclipse. With the body count rising, the doomed survivors are forced to turn to Riddick with his eerie eyes to guide them through the darkness to safety. With time running out, there’s only one rule: Stay in the light. Pitch Black is the original sci-fi hit that introduced...

Story of World War I hero who captured German position single-handedly. Film also portrays York’s earlier life in the mountains of Tennessee. York was a good guy who had his land stolen, then found religion when he had his gun blown out of his hand, turning into a pacifist who didn’t want to go fight in world war one. He made it home just fine though with the direct intervention of the lord almighty. Was thinly veiled attempt to get objectors into world war 2? Maybe. Regardless, it’s a fantastic movie that’s well acted and has a fantastic series of...

The Dark Knight is back in this all new animated adventure! A ruthless and destructive vigilante posing as Batwoman is wreaking havoc in Gotham City. While she sets her sights on thwarting Penguin’s evil plans, Batman concentrates on discovering this mysterious imposter’s true identity. But when she’s captured by the vicious Bane, it falls upon the caped crusader to rescue her, defeat Bane and foil the Penguin’s devious plot himself. Fantastically well done, I believe this was the last of the great animated Batman films.
