Review: The Meg
Not silly or gory enough to please genre or B-movie aficionados and too stupid to appeal to pretty much anyone else, aquatic monster movie The Meg fails to clear a low set bar.
DVD Review: ‘Killer Elite’ starring Jason Statham and Robert De Niro
Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro star in what I can only call one of the most testosterone-filled movies I’ve seen some time, and as far-fetched as it seems at times, it’s apparently based on a true story.

Watch the teaser trailer for ‘Crank 2: High Voltage’
He’s no Six Million Dollar Man, but despite a nose-dive from a helicopter at the end of Crank, Jason Statham is back as Chev Chelios in what I can only call the most unbelievable sequel, Crank 2: High Voltage.
