Movie Review: 3 Days to Kill

It really feels like Kevin Costner is trying to revive his movie career. I mean, it is not like he ever really went anywhere, but he is appearing more in higher profile films. Now, I am not his biggest fan, but I have no problem with this. As a matter of fact, his latest is pretty darn good, much better than I was expecting it to be, and not exactly what was sold by the trailer. Granted, my enjoyment may have been due to my extremely low expectations, but I cannot deny liking the movie. It is a B movie that recognizes this and throws a bunch of stuff at the screen that does not always make sense, but still works as a whole that drew me in and kept me involved.

Movie Review: Machete Kills

It is hard to believe that it has been six years since the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez team up, Grindhouse, was released. No, it wasn't a big hit in theaters, but no matter, popular opinion is never a truly good test of quality.i had a blast with it and its trailers. Even more surprising is that one of the fake trailers made for that event was turned into a movie of its own. Now, that movie has spawned a sequel of its own, fighting the odds if you will. Whatever you want to call it, it puts a smile on my face.
