Review: 'A Good Day To Die Hard' Proves That Willis Should Have Stopped At #4 (Video)
Bruce Willis reprises his iconic role as police detective John McClane in 'A Good Day To Die Hard' directed by John Moore ('Max Payne') and written by Skip Woods ('A Team') and Jason Keller.
McClane this time around, finds himself in Moscow. Seems his estranged son, Jack (Jai Courtney) has been arrested for murder. McClane isn't at all surprised; he believes Jack is a total screw-up.
In truth (and this isn't a SPOILER) Jack is a CIA operative trying to protect a government whistleblower, Komarov (Sebastian Koch) from being killed.

Review: 'Parker' A Pissed Off Thief Out For Vengeance (Video)
Parker (Jason Statham) is a thief and one of the best around. But he's not just a thief; he's a thief with a code. Do what you say… If you don't… there will be consequences.
Parker demands absolute loyalty and strict adherence to the plan from his crew. Unfortunately that's not what he gets from fellow thieves, Melander (Michael Chiklis), Carlson (Wendell Pierce) and Ross (Clifton Collins, Jr.).
'Parker' directed by Academy Award nominee Taylor Hackford ('Ray'), starts out with a daring robbery at the Ohio State Fair that doesn't go so well. Thanks to the recklessness of one of his men...

'Broken City' A Crime Thriller Has The Crime But Lacks The Thrill (Video)
The Broken City in this character driven crime thriller is New York City, aka Manhattan / The Big Apple. In this fictitious New York City, the not so honorable, Nicolas Hostetler (Russell Crowe) is the Mayor. He's as charming as he is corrupt.
When the film opens we see cop, Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) kill a rapist. According to Taggart, he had no choice. He shot the guy in self defense.
The public is outraged when the court decides that there's not enough evidence against Taggart to bring him to trial. But even though he beats the murder charge, Mayor Hostetler, has no choice but to ...

Review 'Gangster Squad': Sean Penn Is Stellar As The Ruthless Mickey Cohen
The year is 1949, the place Los Angeles and ruthless, sadistic, megalomaniac, Jewish gangster, Mickey Cohen (the brilliant Sean Penn) runs the show in this town.
We're talking drugs, guns, prostitutes, and if he had his way, every wire bet placed west of Chicago, would fall under his domain.
The guy is ruthless and a total nut job, completely lacking in charm. He's definitely no Michael Correleone.
To get an idea how Cohen's mind works, at some point in the film, he yells to his crew of killers: ''You heard of Manifest Destiny? That's when you take what you can, when you can...And I'm g...

Two Jews On Their Top Ten Films Of 2012
2012 was a great year for films - studio films as well as Indy titles all scored big.
From the exquisite writing, directing, special effects, I found myself laughing hysterically from a foul mouth, over-sexed pot smoking bear, to a bunch of folks freaking out at the prospect of turning 40.
We had cutting edge performances from Matthew McConaughey ('Killer Joe' & 'The Paper Boy), Nicole Kidman ('The Paper Boy'), John Hawkes and Helen Hunt ('The Sessions') as well as Daniel Day Lewis ('Lincoln') Anthony Hopkins (Hitchcock) and the whole cast of 'Django Unchained'.

'Les Miserables' Is Beautiful, Exciting, Romantic, And A Must See
I absolutely loved the Broadway production of 'Les Miserables' created by Claude-Michel Schonberg, Alain Boubill and Jean-Marc Natel. I listen to the show's score in my car whenever I need to feel energized.
So to say I was really, really looking forward to seeing the film is an understatement.
I couldn't help but wonder if I be disappointed? Would the film version match up to the stage production and would the singers sound as great as the original London and New York cast?
No...Yes...Almost.

Review: 'Django Unchained' A Quentin Tarantino Masterpiece (Video)
Quentin Tarantino has done it again with this spaghetti style western. 'Django Unchained' is set in the South, two years before the Civil War.
Not only has Tarantino created an over the top funny, graphic, violent film, but he also manages to show the horror of slavery in a way, I can't ever remember seeing in a Hollywood film. Then again, Mr. T. doesn't do Hollywood films. He does Quentin Tarantino films and this one, in my humble opinion is...a masterpiece.
