Salt…But No Pepa.
Salt
starring Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor
directed by Phillip Noyce
The hurried noise of a crowd. Massive explosions. An impossible, death defying leap. Gun fire, followed by returned gun fire. High speed car chases. These are the corner stones of any good Action Summer Blockbuster worth their weight. Sure, we need meaning-filled dramas and light hearted comedy, but [...]

Respectably Despicable.
Despicable Me

Open Season…for Humans
Predators
starring Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Trejo
directed by Nimrod Antal

Jonah Hill is a Mama’s Boy
Cyrus
starring John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei, Catherine Keener, Matt Walsh
