The Expendables 2
Bigger, better, badassier.
Action
Rod Lott
Preceding the start of The Expendables 2 is an ad for its tie-in video game. Why bother playing such a thing when so many sequences of the the movie make you feel like you're doing so already? I mean that as a compliment, because as directed by Simon West (The Mechanic), the sequel’s 15-minute prologue is so unrelenting in nonstop action that it’s likely to turn you giddy.
Mickey and Me
The 'Manhattan' and 'Annie Hall' heyday of Woody Allen is channeled in Mickey Reece’s Norman-set story of hilarious heartbreak.
A Destructive Manner
Your average office worker can be pushed only so far, as this locally shot thriller dramatically demonstrates.
Bolo
Local filmmaker Mickey Reece corners moviegoers in the ring with a sports dramedy that comes out swinging.
Gangster Squad
Speaking ‘Confidential’ly ...
Action
Rod Lott
Gangster Squad takes place in 1949 Los Angeles, a time when the Hollywood sign still sported “LAND” at the end, and a time that looks like L.A. Confidential — a lot like L.A. Confidential.
Disconnect
Log on for drama.
Drama
Rod Lott
Its technology will be dated hopelessly within a few years, but for now, Disconnect stands as an accurate parable on the dangers of the Internet.
