Bullit (1968)
Steve McQueen was a blue-eyed splendor with a big cock and a knack for fashion that magnetized his style. Steve is the cop handpicked to protect a witness that will bring down a gangster opponent of the state. The car chase was a masterclass of stunts, choreography and edits. The foot chase was close-up, physically accurate and tense. The lack of music added organic panic to the action. Bissett was breathtaking and accomplished. Its quietude added nervous reality. A cop can't change his fate until everyone is safe. A film to be studied and outdone. An action bible. 09-Dec-2023
No Time To Die (2021)
The action sequences were fantastic and daddy Bond exhibited sausage and skills. Having muscles didn't hurt. I couldn't decide if the villain was ridiculous because of the actor or the writing. Sap killed the end. Bond doesn't need to announce what he's going to do. It kills the surprise. 24-Jun-2022
Swiss Family Robinson (1960)
Swiss family travel the high seas to claim new land and eco-trash it. Pirates attack their ship as they sleep, all the passengers jump to safety and nobody bothers to awaken them. Were they not liked? They were probably snooty. TG they left an animal farm, nails and enough ammo to kill an army. Shipwrecked. The Ewoks would have barked at the unrealism of the family tree palace but it's fun Disney magic. As they settle into tranquility the parents ponder the future of their three sons. The boys would inherit nothing without women to love lest they do the animals or worst, each other. A trans boy makes it onto the island and Cain and Abel are awakened to some sexual clarity. It's preposterously gorgeous, impossible, animalistic, adventurous, violent and joyous. 28-Feb-2021
Avengers, The (2012)
Arise the madness. Superhero magnificence. 16-Feb-2021
Train To Busan (2016)
Zombie apocalypse gets an epic disaster movie treatment. I thought there was nothing left to do with a zombie but I was thrillingly surprised. The zombies are quick, staggering and evolved. Yeong Sang-ho returns as many things as he borrowed, lending it a huge amount of humanity and eagerly expanding the perception of claustrophobic spaces. Daddy mass clobbered, daddy major stepped up and daughter darling broke our hearts. 18-Feb-2020
Matrix Reloaded, The (2003)
Amped up but incomplete. 12-Jun-2019
Matrix, The (1999)
It maintains its relevance because it sounds like truth. It ripped the adventure sport apart, it stamped itself fresh repeatedly and we were overtook with joy and appreciation for the artistry of clean work. From kool to kickass is the process. 11-Jun-2019
Avatar (2009)
The macho pose may seem off date but who cares when the master has proliferated a grand illusion and Zoe Saldana is gut wrenched. 15-Sep-2018
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Holds your breadth with magic. 11-May-2018
Aliens (1986)
Cameron is detailed in his respect for what Scott birthed. His take is a well choreographed delineation on military combat. Collusion and honor is placed heroically on each soldier's shoulders and the actors add grit and strut to kindling. Weaver is hoisted higher because she has a mother's rage and because Cameron recognizes what she means to us. 29-Jul-2017
Spiderman (2002)
Raimi conceived the ultimate Superhero and should be congratulated in mobilizing an array of talent that understood that cinema is more than just movement. He gave us throwback, romance, humor, bravery and enthusiasm. He postulated his audience with acuity and conceded himself and company to a higher standard. The one quip is obvious, Green Goblin's mask rendered Willem Dafoe's face invisible and granted his features immobility. It killed half of his performance. The excess is candy colored perfection. 04-Jan-2017
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Sam Raimi took great care to not only amp but mobilize a pool of talent that would enrich and maintain what he laid out with One. Gold spins in the form of the humane and thoughtful word, beautiful action sequences that still calibrate, colors that allow a comic to magically materialize and players who know how to engage, palpitate and accomplish. There's not a quip in sight and its one of the last filmed Franco with open eyes. 20-Dec-2016
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
If you want muscle and fascination with your superhero cocktail this will make you drunk. They prove you don't have to be eclipsing to be dark. The story quantifies, the ornamentation embellishes and action transports to a comic book of yesterday. Even the conflicted ending works because a hero is not meant to carry the responsibility of what humans construct as preservation. 25-Sep-2016
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
The enjoyment arises from watching Arnold's reinvented automaton vs. Robert Patrick's liquid and relentless cyborg. They are a vision of cinematic action worthy of history reprise. Cameron may not necessarily choose the right words to put in his players mouths but the story is complete, the peril, via effect and choreography, is inspired and abundant and the cast is consigned to sweat out everything the master designs. Even in retro, the exhilaration survives. 29-Jul-2016
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
The essence of a Dali painting is what you get experiencing Miller's achievement onscreen. Unforgettable and unforgiving. It's a mech western. Charlize and Tom don't interfere but instead hold their own as steady as the master who brushes them on to the scene. The old man not only brought it, he killed it. Respect. Somebody give him a superhero! 12-Jan-2016
