Never read the books, I was blown away. Much deeper idea in play than just bugs in a maze. I have to read the books now. It’ll pull you in. A+
Movie Review: Escape Plan (2013)
My thoughts on seeing Stallone and Schwarzenegger finally team up were the same as my thoughts on seeing Manny Pacquiao fight Floyd Mayweather… if it ever happened, it would be too late. To my surprise, I was wrong. The Escape Plan has everything needed to make a great ’90s action film: catch phrases, plot holes, and plenty of action. Stallone and Schwarzenegger are great together, making a perfect throwback movie to their heyday. Sure, there are some continuity issues, but who cares? We get to see two great action stars tear through a prison like it was guarded by elementary school safety guards.
Move Review: Man On A Ledge
By now you’ve seen the trailers, a guy is on a ledge and it doesn’t look like just a simple suicide. In this case, the promo’s got it right. Not only is this man on a ledge with no intention of killing himself (shhh…don’t tell the crowd below!), but he’s got a serious side plot afoot…and it is an adrenaline ride you want to be along for. (B+)
