Expendables 2

Want a good old fashion 80's action movie complete with some of the biggest action starts of then and today then check out Expendables 2. Sylvester Stallone is back as Barney Ross along with Jason Statham as Lee Christmas, Dolph Lundgren as Gunner Jensen, Jet Li as Yin Yang, Terry Crews as Hale Caesar, and Randy Couture as Toll Road. Back for an extended visit is Bruce Willis as Church, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Trench and Charisma Carpenter as Lee's girlfriend Lacy. Now if that wasn't enough they have added new characters such as Chuck Norris as Booker, Liam Hemsworth as Bill the kid, Nan Yu as Maggie and Jean Claude Van Damme as Villain. Guess which one was the bad guy. There are classic one liners that reference different movies by the stars but the big part was the action. If you want a movie with a lot of plot this not the movie for you but if you want to sit and watch some major butt-kicking then this is the movie for you. I am a huge action fan so this movie rocked. I give it 4 popcorns out of 4 just because of the action and the cast.

Bourne Legacy

When I first heard that they were making a Bourne movie without Matt Damon I swore I would never watch the movie. But the more I saw of the previews and found that Jeremy Renner was playing a different character my interest was aroused. I am so glad that I went and saw this movie. The movie is called Bourne Legacy and Jeremy Renner plays Aaron Cross, another participant in Treadstone and he sets out to get more medication that he needs and finds that they are trying to eliminate him along with other members of this program. He teams up with Dr Marta Shearing played by Rachel Weisz as they are trying to kill her too. Edward Norton plays Retired Colonel Eric Byer, USAF and Stacy Keach plays Retired Admiral Mark Turso, USN and they are the ones that are trying to eliminate Aaron and Dr. Shearing. In the background of this movie is the Bourne Ultimatum with characters that over lap both movies. Tony Gilroy directed this movie and he also wrote this movie along with the first three. The beginning was a little slow but it quickly picked up the pace. It was action packed and dare I say maybe just a little better than the first three. I would give this movie 3.5 out of 4 popcorns.

Dark Knight Rises

I have gotten a little behind so will try to get up to date. The first movies is The Dark Knight Rises. This is the third installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Christian Bale is back as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Gary Oldman is also back as Commissioner Gordon and Michael Caine is also back as Alfred, and Morgan Freeman as Fox. The new characters are Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Officer Blake, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selena Kyle/Catwoman, and Marion Cotillard as Miranda. This was a good end to the trilogy and it doesn't disappoint those fans who are very critical. There are some twists that I won't divulge but they through me for a loop. I would give this 3.5 popcorns out of 4.
