MOVIE TITLE: THE SHEPHERD



"Ex-cop and current border patrol agent Jack Robideaux (Jean-Claude Vann Damme) becomes a one-man crime-fighting force when he tries to take down a rogue American Special Forces unit in this action thriller. Determined to thwart a plan to smuggle millions of dollars' worth of Afghan heroin into the United States, Robideaux takes on crooked bureaucrats and cunning cartel members on both sides of the border. Scott Adkins and Stephen Lord co-star."


In this one Jean-Claude Vann Damme play's Jack, a border patrol officer that takes it on his own to stop the drug runners coming through Mexico. The Shepherd is filled with action, and plenty of gun fights. Jack carries around a bunny rabbit, which he gets asked about through out the whole movie. I give this one a 7 out of 10.

MOVIE TITLE: HOUSE OF WAX



Thrills and chills ooze all over you in House of Wax, from Dark Castle Entertainment and legendary horror producers Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis(Gothika, House on Haunted Hill). When their car breaks down on a road trip, six college friends are sidetracked into an eerie backwoods town. Curiosity gets the better of them when they are intrigued by its macabre House of Wax. They soon find out that the town is not what it seems and they must find their way out before they fall victim to its ghoulishly inventive killers.


This is a movie that makes you wonder about peoples hobbies, or how far they take them. Six college buddies are heading to LSU stadium to see a game when they decide to break for the night and set up camp in the middle of no where, which is their first big mistake out of many. After finding out a fan belt broke a couple stay behind to fix it, after getting into town they find it's like a ghost town, this is where the fun begins.


House of Wax keeps the action going, while not all that scary unless you scare easy, it's still a good movie I give it a 8 out of 10. As always, feel free to leave a comment and state your opinion. Post to ya later!

MOVIE TITLE: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN



A hunter (Josh Brolin) stumbles upon a dead body, $2 million and a stash of heroin in the woods. He absconds with the cash, but brutal thief Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) comes looking for it, with a local sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) on his trail. The roles of hunter and prey blur as the violent pursuits of money and justice collide. Joel and Ethan Coen direct this dark morality tale, which won four Oscars in 2008, including Best Picture.


My opinion on this movie is that it wasn't what I had expected it to have been. It wasn't completely awful but it was far from great. There's violence and gore, but the action was very slow paced. The character Anton Chigurh's weapon of choice was some sort of air gun which doesn't leave much evidence behind, but that was roughly the coolest thing to me. I give this movie a 5 out of 10...

MOVIE TITLE: THE OTHER SIDE


I thought the other side was a pretty good movie, one of the better movies I have seen lately based on people coming back from the dead (not zombified). In this strangely action packed movie the story base is that a young man is killed (this happens fast, I looked at my plate then back up and he was in another realm), then some others in this realm take him with them as they have found a exit from hell (AKA the pit), and then they have reapers after them to bring them back.


As if being chased by hell bound reapers wasn't bad enough, he comes back to find his girlfriend who was supposed to meet him the night he died is now missing! I give this movie a 9 out of 10 and would diffidently watch it again. As it has gory violence it's not one for children, then again what movie with hell bound reapers chasing down those who have escaped is for kids?

MOVIE TITLE: HITMAN


Hitman is a fully action packed with extreme guns, intense shoot outs, and exploding cases of money, wish I had so much money I could blow up a case full! One of the lines I remember best off the top of my head is when he told the girl "stop talking or I'll put you back in the trunk", I thought that was a funny line because who at some point hasn’t wanted to say that line to someone?

Definitely a great movie, there's not that many movies out there that has assassins after an assassin that doesn't know why he's being targeted. I don't usually watch the same movie very often, but if Hitman was playing I would watch it again... That's my opinion on this movie, next up is the review on Bee movie! Post to ya in a few.
