The Expendables

If you like non-stop action this is for you. All the tough guys, Mickey O'Rouke, Sly, Dolph Lundgren, and many more team up to terminate a bad guy, Eric Roberts, on a South American Island. Roberts has the island and it's army under his control to grow coco beans for drugs. The expendables literally blow up and kill just about everything on the island. Ole Stallone looks pretty good in this movie that he directed as well. See it for the devastation! 2 1/2 bananas

The Other Guys

Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg are stay in the station cops until Farrell bumbles he and his partner into a big time Ponzi scheme aimed at the police assn retirement fund. Hard to tell the good guys from the bad at times in this cop comedy that literally starts out with a bang. Sometimes funny sometimes stupid but if you go stick around through the credits as there is some very enlightening info. 2 bananas

Inception

WOW! Make sure to see this when there isn't a large audience as there is a lot to hear and process. Leonardo Decaprio has discovered how to get inside peoples dreams and to plant suggestions for future decision making. He is in hiding from the U.S. Government for some past wrong doing but is promised by a very influential person that all his problems can go away if he would perform one more dream intervention. From there things really get wild. Confusing, you bet, but the ending pretty much clears every thing up. I think you have to see this a 2nd time to catch everthing. 3 1/2 banas

Salt

Good action with Angela Joline as a double/triple(?) CIA agent going up against the russians and the CIA as she is accused of being an enemy spy. Some scenes are beyond belief but for the summer, this will keep you entertained as the no-stop action continues till the end. 2 1/2 bananas

Johathan Hex

Good shooten-up Western taken from the comic books. Hex is branded, on the face, and left for dead soon after the civil war. He survives and is recruited by the government to stop a terror plot on the capital being plotted by the man who branded him. See it for a change of pace. 3 bananas

Knight and Day

Tom Cruise and Camerron Diaz are terrific in this comedy action flick centering around forces in the FBI chasing Cruise and Diaz around the world in search of a new power source in batteries. Some unbelieveable action scenes steal the show. Much fun if you aren't counting the bodies. 3 bananas

The A-Team

Funny but stupid recreation of the television show. Great scenes but most are so far over the edge it's hard to get into this non-stop action movie of 4 decorated soliders who are set up by the CIA, jailed, escape and create havoc for the CIA. 2 bananas

Just Wright

As much as I love Queen Latifa this isn't one of her better movies. Queeny is a physical therapist who rehabilitates the star of the New Jersey Nets basketball team. Love is not far behind as is Queen's dim witted friend who also falls for the same BB player. Forget it. 1 banana

MacGruber

BAD movie, BAD acting and plenty of BAD references to "dicks". Poorly done spoof of the tv series McGiver. Not worth my time reviewing. Don't se it! 0 bananas
