Machete

Only seconds into the film and heads are literally flying in this appropriately titled movie. A film in the vain of the Good, The Bad and The Ugly era stars the baddest, ugliest former federale seeking justice with his machete against a US senator and a US/Mexican cartel of dope smugglers. Some pretty big names in this ridculous but fun to see movie that definitely should set back Mexican US relations on immigration. 2 bananas

The American

George Clooney in the role of a bad guy. An assassin who works for some mystery outfit finds himself being hunted in this dark and slow moving drama. Beautifully filmed in Italy with two beautiful lady friends can't help George save this film from the dumpster. 1 1/2 bananas.

The Takers

Pretty good crime drama. Group of guys pull off huge heists but time catches up to them as well as the russian mob, and police. At times a little to much going on but enjoyable still. See it for the action. Great shoot out at the end. 2 1/2 bananas

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
