Hard Boiled (1992 Film)

In 2007, Midway Games released Stranglehold, a first-person action video game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PCs. The game's development was overseen by Woo, and the story serves as a sequel to Hard Boiled, with Tequila hunting down more criminals. Chow Yun-Fat provided the voice for the character and performed the motion-capture work.http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?GID=429

Battle Los Angeles Trailer

The international teaser trailer for Battle: Los Angeles opens with a narrator explaining that approximately 100,000 Los Angeles-area residents "witnessed something in the skies" above the city in February of 1942. The narrator goes on to explain that anti-aircraft guns were fired at the mysterious object, "to no effect." "This actual encounter," the narrator says, "was only the beginning." As images of other unexplained encounters in several cities worldwide, including Buenos Aires, London and Seoul, are shown, the narrator says, "their objective has never been explained...until now."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uIvWE4ixdg

The trailer then offers several clips from the movie, showing aliens invading all over the world. Viewers learn that "there are massive casualties" in Moscow and Paris and that communications with New York, Tokyo and Rio are cut off. As images of raging battles between armed forces and aliens are shown, a voice can be heard saying, "We cannot lose Los Angeles."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uIvWE4ixdg

Ryan Reynolds

"Acting has given me a way to channel my angst. I feel like an overweight, pimply faced kid a lot of the time - and finding a way to access that insecurity, and put it toward something creative is incredibly rewarding. I feel very lucky."—Ryan Reynoldshttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005351/bio#quotes

"I have a discipline that has served me very well in my career and in my personal life... and that's gotten stronger as I've gotten older. I've always felt if I don't just have a natural knack for it, I will just out-discipline the competition if I have to -- work harder than anybody else."—Ryan Reynoldshttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005351/bio#quotes

"I'm not a hockey fan, which is probably why I had to leave Canada in the first place."—Ryan Reynoldshttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005351/bio#quotes

Red Movie Trailer

In the official theatrical trailer for Red, viewers are first introduced to ex-CIA agent Frank Moses (Willis), who is having a candid conversation with former agent and colleague Victoria (Mirren) about life after retirement. Victoria mentions she loves spending time baking and flower arranging. She then mentions that she does "take the odd contract on the side." In the next clip, Victoria is shown wielding an automatic weapon at a man in a black sedan. She then explains that "I just can't stop."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMCh4etBbkU

In the next scene, Frank is shown calling up his CIA friend Sarah (Parker). It begins to crystallize at this point that Frank is having some trouble adjusting to his retirement from the Agency. Viewers are introduced to two other ex-CIA agents. Joe Matheson (Freeman) is living in a retirement home, seeming to enjoy himself. Marvin Boggs (Malkovich) is a bit of a loose cannon. Frank explains to Sarah that Boggs was "given daily doses of LSD for 11 years."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMCh4etBbkU

As the trailer continues, viewers learn that the CIA is after the former agents because they know too many secrets. As the group gathers for an elegant meal, Matheson exclaims "we're getting the band back together." The next few clips show several heavy action scenes, as Aerosmith's song "Back in the Saddle" blares in the background.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMCh4etBbkU

Limitless

"What if there was one little pill that could change your whole life, but The Matrix had already used that as a plot point? Maybe you would end up with a movie like Limitless."—Willa Paskin of New York Magazinehttp://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/12/limitless_trailer.html

Red Movie Reviews

"Although tailor-made for genre fans, it benefits from flavors of humor and romance that keep its appeal from being fanboy-only."— John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporterhttp://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/red-film-review-1004117462.story

"Red rocks like some giddy mash-up of It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, The Manchurian Candidate, Three Days of the Condor, and every movie ever made in which a hired gun yanks at his holster for One Last Stand to kill the one who brung him in the first place."— Robert Wilonsky, Village Voicehttp://www.villagevoice.com/2010-10-13/film/killer-instincts-bad-knees/

"Only a curmudgeon could entirely resist the laid-back charms of Red, an amusing, light-footed caper about a team of aging CIA veterans rudely forced out of retirement."— Justin Chang, Varietyhttp://www.metacritic.com/movie/red/critic-reviews

"Red has enough acting flourishes and incidental action pleasures to make it an adrenalin-jacked giggle, if not exactly the romp one so fervently expects."— Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinelhttp://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_movies_blog/2010/10/movie-review-red.html

"It's a lot of fun and, because of the high quality of the cast, there's no need to feel guilty about praising such an inherently silly motion picture."— James Berardinelli, ReelViewshttp://www.reelviews.net/php_review_template.php?identifier=2194

"The action is OK, though nothing you haven't seen done better a hundred times before. Some of the gunplay becomes interminable, the filmmakers turning buildings and vehicles into Swiss cheese as characters fire off endless rounds of ammo ...

Faster Movie

  • "By the end of this underwritten wanna-B movie, only the black-and-white muscle car is left standing with its dignity intact."—Dan Kois of The Washington Posthttp://www.washingtonpost.com/gog/movies/faster,1097056/critic-review.html
  • "The Killer subplot looks and feels like it was grafted on with Krazy Glue. Thornton’s character never adds up. And the film’s big whiplash surprise ending is a real you’ve-got-to-be-kidding groaner."—Stephen Cole of The Globe and Mailhttp://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/movies/faster-revved-up-genre-vehicle-roars-off-the-road/article1810524/
  • "If it all sounds a bit thin, that's because it is. Therein lies the charm for viewers who don't mind the occasional slice of pulp filmmaking."—Gary Dowell of The Dallas Morning Newshttp://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/movies/reviews/stories/112310dngdfaster.1fd4bf2.html
  • "Yet sometimes all you really want is a cheese sandwich. Sometimes it’s fun to be 12, for a while. And, as big dumb action movies go, “Faster” is big dumb fun for a while — a nicely photographed, quickly edited and calmly underplayed flick that, taking the advice of its title, does what it needs to do quickly."—Stephen Whitty of The Star-Ledgerhttp://www.nj.com/entertainment/movies/index.ssf/2010/11/faster_review_gracefully_directed_this_action_film_thats_just_plain_fun.html
