G.I. Joe: Retaliation†the best action movie of 2013 so far? The year is still too young to give a credible opinion, but “Olympus has Fallen†might take that prize. It is rated R and it is hyper-violent. We also have to wait for “Iron Man 3,†“Man of Steel†and “Pacific Rim†to make a final decision. Nevertheless, G.I. JOE 2 is a Red Bull overdose as soon as you walk into the theater. In regards to its entertainment value, it is going to be a ridiculous hit. All the violence, one-line bad jokes, and 3D action your brain can handle are all present – and I must admit it is fun! Read More

‘Faster’ is 2010’s Dirty Harry and its star, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, inhabits his character as menacingly as the perilous Clint Eastwood ever did. This is a serious revenge thriller with some moments of gun slinging action; the jokes are absent and the raw pounding revenge only moves one way – forward. The action is light so don’t expect any Jason Bourne choreographed fight sequences or Michael Bay explosions as the star walks away unscathed. With ‘Faster’ you get a deeply tormented man, hell-bent on revenge as he points, shoots and kills his victims without consideration of any consequences or regard for the law. It is genuine, uncensored, R rated fun. Read More
