On the front-end of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s near fifty-year acting career, after he had established himself in two Conan movies and took the world by storm in “The Terminator”, he released “Commando”. It was his first starring role (minus the docudrama “Pumping Iron”) that wasn’t science fiction or sword-and-sorcery. But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t an … Continue reading
Character Posters Drop for “Masters of the Universe”

Three very pretty people team up to get back a fortune owed by a ruthless despot in Guy Ritchie’s “In the Grey”. It’s a sleek and straightforward action-thriller laced with big set pieces, snappy dialogue, and a nonsense approach to storytelling. And did I mention three very pretty people? Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza … Continue reading
