This movie is sort of like the 8-cylinder version of the A-Team’s 4-banger. As you would expect from any Stallone movie, plenty of violence-laden action abounds, sometimes in a disconnected sort of way – but to be sure, watching bad guys get their heads blown off is an all American macho form…

Formulaic sequels like The Equalizer 3 don’t get any respect. However, they make for immensely satisfying cinematic experiences when executed to perfection. E3 pretty much executes to perfection. Indeed, it fires on damn near all cylinders: a perfect film led by a nonpareil moviestar, work… |

A big Bondian miasma, dark and steely, Skyfall marks a solid chapter in the half century superspy series. Big it is – nearly two and a half hours, though it doesn’t feel overlong; complete with massive explosions and huge fights; full of big, big moviestars, including a first rate supervillain…
