Broken Arrow may be considered a guilty pleasure of mine, although I watch the movie once a year. I don’t have any particular reason why I just enjoy this movie. The best I could come up with is this is the classic 1990’s action I grew up with. It has been said a handful of … More Broken Arrow (1996)
It is well known within the film industry that Backdraft is considered the most celebrated film about firefighters. In the second place, a few notches below should be Ladder 49. Since 2001 TV had flooded the audiences with shows centred around the firehouse like Rescue Me and Chicago Fire, to name a few, but there … More Ladder 49 (2004)
I vaguely remembered Brooklyn’s Finest when I watched it upon initial release in 2009. Since then, I have seen it two more times, and each time I was left wondering what drew me to watch it another time. The first thing that I like about the film is the setting, Brooklyn. I also really like … More Brooklyn’s Finest (2009)
In case you missed it, my wife and I recently sat down and watched the Mission: Impossible series from start to finish. I introduced her to Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his wild adventures as an agent for MI6. I bragged about how much I loved Ghost Protocol and said I only needed reviews for … More Mission: Impossible 4 – Ghost Protocol (2011)
If you look at the numbers, you’ll notice that it took six years for Mission Impossible III to get released. Tom Cruise may have been busy with other projects, but what really held them from making another film was how bad the previous movie had been. The reason why MI III works is the brilliant … More Mission Impossible III (2006)
After saving the spy world four years prior in Mission: Impossible, Tom Cruise is back as the super-spy Ethan Hunt to keep it safe all over again. Instead of protecting the secret spies, he’s back to stop the spread of a deadly disease while falling in love with the carrier of the disease. Now I’m … More Mission: Impossible II (2000)
The year was 1996, and Tom Cruise was already an established Hollywood star. Well known for a variety of roles up to this point in his career, Mission Impossible finally gave him a chance to star in a franchise, one still going strong to this day. I loved the first Mission Impossible and will admit … More Mission Impossible (1996)

Directed by Michael Mann, Heat follows the story of Neil McCauley (De Niro), a criminal that takes down major scores in the city of Los Angeles. Hot on … More Heat (1995)
Rambo: Last Blood came out in late 2019, and I missed the opportunity to see it at the theatre, which means I missed the entire franchise on the big screen. Since this film recently came to Amazon Prime, it pushed me to revisit the franchise that I’ve only seen once before. I’m curious if this … More Rambo: Last Blood (2019)
John Rambo came to the public eye 26 years ago in 1982. Since then, he’s travelled the world twice to save the day again and again. Retired and trying to make amends for past doings, his location really doesn’t allow for such a moment. Once again, our hero is recruited for an adventure and underestimated … More Rambo (2008)
