Ballistica - 2010

This is a cheesy 3rd rate film about a man trained in the rare artform of ballistica. This form combines martial arts and the use of handguns for some pretty good moves. On an operation he rescues an american woman who inadvertently helped make a bomb for terrorists. They then spend the movie trying to find the bomb and disarm it. passable if you're bored. Nice ending twist. I give it a C +

It stars Martin Kove as Riley, Paul Logon as Damian, and Alexa is played by CB Spencer

Nightmare on Elm Street - April 2010

This is a pretty good remake of the original 1984 slasher movie. It is not quite as good as the original I think because Jackie Earle Haley does not have the same funny humour as Robert England. Sorry Jackie but Robert just plays the better Freddy. There are some changes to the movie and some additions while some scenes are pretty much repeated. Some of them are better, some of them were pretty much the same. As it turns out I pretty much like the remake and hope they continue with others in the series.

one of the major differences is Freddy didn't kill the children he was a gardener at the daycare center and lived in the basement. He brought the children to a secret room and molested them. The enraged parents then of course burned him alive. In this movie he is going after the children he molested whose parents killed him.

Rooney Mara plays Nancy, Kyle Gallner is Quintin, Katie Cassidy is Kris, Thomas Dekker is Jessie.

A Dangerous Man - Feb 2010

This is a Steven Segal action movie. He plays Shane Daniels who chased off would be muggers who attacked his wife as she waited for him in the car. One of them ended up dead and Shane was accused of the murder, found guilty and sentenced. While in prison his wife left him and his family and reputation was destroyed. His special ops military career was also over. Project Innocent was able to find DNA evidence as well as place the gun used on another person. the DNA evidence matched the other person and Shane had his charged dropped and was released.

He bought himself a bottle of booze and set on top of a bridge feeling sorry for himself and drinking his sorrows away when he witnessed oriental crime bosses kill a cop who pulled them over then start after the sons of a Russian mafia boss who witnessed the killing. Shane sweeps in kicks oriental ass and saves the Russian teenagers. They found an oriental girl in the trunk who revealed a sinister plot going on between corrupt cops gone bad working with the chinese criminals who wanted to hold her hostage to make her uncle, who they were smuggling into the country, cooperate.

It only gets better from there as Shane decides he is going to help with the aid of the Mafia father who now considers him a brother for saving his son.

Alice in Wonderland - March 2010

This is a pretty good version of alice in wonderland that actually takes place when alice is a teenager being proposed marriage two by a man she doesn't love. She returns to wonderland that she had visited when she was a child to save them from the red queen.

Alice is played by Mia Wasikowska. Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter. Helena Bonham Carter is the Red Queen and Anne Hathaway makes a very beautiful white queen. It is gothic in design - true to Tim Burton form - and much more adult oriented but yet moderate enough for children as well.
