(Exciting Action Thriller) – – Lady Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) practices fighting a robot in a simulated tomb in her house.  Because of the convergence of planets that only happens once every 5,000 years Lara will need all her skills. While sleeping one night as the convergence is just starting, she hears a ticking clock.…

(Killing, Killing, and More Killing, Weird) – – After the fantastic opening credits (must see), you know very quickly that you are in for an increasing death toll (massive death toll to be more descriptive) involving people being cut in half (lengthwise), heads exploding, knifings, shootings, drownings, explosions, and any number of unique ways to…

(Bloody Good Thriller) – – Ex-CIA operative, Devereaux (Pierce Brosnan) is enjoying retirement when his old CIA handler, Hanley (Bill Smirovich) shows up telling him he has been requested to extract an old friend, Natalia (Mediha Musliovic), from her undercover assignment. Natalia has information the CIA needs to control soon-to-be President of Russia, Arkady Federov…

(Powerful, Gritty, Prophetic?) – – I read the book “Inferno” by Dan Brown earlier this year.  In that book, the researcher who sparks the worldwide search for his creation warns the world about the dangers of over population.  “Elysium” vividly shows how over population can drastically change human nature.  The few haves (the rich) live…

(Blood, Bullets, Bravery) – – Caveat:  I read Thrillers and I write book reviews on those Thrillers.  This movie is dead on in my genre….a thrilling thriller that looks an awful lot like Vince Flynn’s “Transfer of Power” book.  But it is not…according to Vince himself.  FYI…I read “Transfer of Power” before I started my…

(Thrilling Thriller) – – For those who do not know, I also write a Book Review Blog where I review…..Thrillers.  Unfortunately, with so many authors, and so many books, I have yet to read Lee Child (even though I have several of the Jack Reacher series in the queue).   Sooo, this movie (much like…
