(Fun Buddy Movie) – – After reading the reviews, I was not sure I wanted to go see “2 Guns”. Overcoming my trepidation (because of Wahlberg) I am glad we went!  I have no idea what the reviewers reviewed, but, I suspect they did not watch this movie, as their reviews were way off base.…

(GREAT Movie) — — Most of the original cast is back for another rousing edition of Retired Extremely Dangerous ex-CIA killers. Red 2 is funny and thrilling….a perfect summer getaway movie. Frank (Bruce Willis) and his over eager girlfriend Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) have settled into retirement. Frank is a Costco fanboy and is taking care…

(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…

– – “Foreboding: Fearful apprehension; a feeling that something bad will happen” From the first seconds, “Gone” (thanks to the soundtrack, setting, acting, and cinematography) instilled an overwhelming sense of foreboding.  Very cool…..errrr, very scary. Amanda Seyfried (as Jill) claims she was kidnapped last year and escaped.  The local (Portland, OR) police investigated, found nothing,…

(Outstanding Thriller) – – Chau is going to see “Safe House” soon, I will update her rating here… Ryan Reynolds (as Matt Weston) is a newbie CIA agent in charge of a safe house in Capetown, South Africa.  A very boring job. Denzel Washington (as CIA legend, and traitor, Tobin Frost) has just picked up…
