    Director Patrick Hughes talks about ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’

    by Andrew Parker August 18, 2017
    by Andrew Parker August 18, 2017

    Australian filmmaker Patrick Hughes knows how to film a large scale action sequence, but he also loves to have a good laugh while doing it. The director of the underrated suspense thriller Red Hill and the most recent entry into The Expendables franchise finds himself once again tackling chaotic shootouts and multi-vehicle chases with his latest effort The Hitman’s Bodyguard (in cinemas everywhere this weekend), a mismatched buddy flick starring two of the biggest names in comedy and action: Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson.

    Review: ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard,’ starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson

    by Andrew Parker August 16, 2017
    by Andrew Parker August 16, 2017

    A passably entertaining bit of late summer fluff, the action comedy The Hitman’s Bodyguard is exactly what you probably think it’s going to be going in: two charismatic actors riffing on each other while dodging bullets, fists, and bombs. A comedy firmly steeped in the traditions set forth by Midnight Run and Lethal Weapon, The Hitman’s Bodyguard doesn’t earn too many points for originality or style, but it achieves every modest goal it sets out to make. If you’re in the mood for an action comedy, this is an action comedy that won’t wow you, but it won’t let you down, either.

    Review: ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,’ directed by Tim Burton

    by Andrew Parker September 29, 2016
    by Andrew Parker September 29, 2016

    The elements of a great film – and perhaps the next great cinematic franchise to be spawned from a young adult novel – are initially on display in director Tim Burton and screenwriter Jane Goldman’s adaptation of Ransom Riggs’ Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children before the picture more or less collapses on itself.

    Review: ‘Robocop’ (2014) starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman & Michael Keaton

    by W. Andrew Powell February 13, 2014
    by W. Andrew Powell February 13, 2014

    The idea of a RoboCop reboot made me nervous from the very beginning. How was a relatively un-tried director like José Padilha going to rebuild an icon from my childhood? Given the steady stream of film remakes over the last few years–both good and bad–how would this one stand up?

    Film Review: ‘The Avengers’ starring Robert Downey, Jr.

    by W. Andrew Powell May 3, 2012
    by W. Andrew Powell May 3, 2012

    In the hands of your average director, The Avengers could have been ridiculous. There are long stretches of conversation where superheroes just talk to each other in small spaces, loads of complicated special effects, and the film is a whopping 2 hours and 22 minutes. On top of that, The Avengers is charged with bringing together three heroes from their respective blockbusters, and giving them some sort of likable chemistry together with new characters we don’t know all that much about.
