Movie review: ‘The Grey’ gets lost in the woods – Rockford Register Star
January 27th, 2012 admin Movie review: ‘The Grey’ gets lost in the woods – Rockford Register Star How wonderfully unpredictable the movies can be. Who would have thought that, at nearly 60, Liam Neeson would be one of the top action stars around? It’s the same, counterintuitive formula that made Michael Keaton a good Batman and the Rock a believable Tooth Fairy. But here he is again. After the thrillers “Taken” and “Unknown,” Neeson, that burly Irishman of such rock-’em, sock ‘em films

Movie review: ‘Man on a Ledge’ takes a long leap of logic – Visalia Times-Delta
January 26th, 2012 admin Movie review: ‘Man on a Ledge’ takes a long leap of logic – Visalia Times-Delta The most annoying thing about the heist thriller “Man on a Ledge” is the way the plot doesn’t play fair with the audience. In Choices’ effort to provide spoiler-free reviews, we’ll not reveal the nonsensical plot twists here, but if you spend any amount of time thinking about the movie, it quickly falls apart. Worse, director Asger Leth and writer Pablo F. Fenjves use silly plot twists

Warning Congress that “I intend to fight obstruction with action,” he painted a confrontational picture that

January 26th, 2012 admin Movie review: ‘Man on a Ledge’ tosses aside all good sense – Appleton Post Crescent “Man on a Ledge” offers an intriguing premise of revenge and redemption, but ultimately asks its audience to take too many leaps. Pun intended. Groaner though it may be, it’s still more clever than some of the jaw-dropping silliness in director Asger Leth’s film. Maybe it’s Leth’s fault. Or maybe it’s the fault of screenwriter Pablo F. Fenjves. Don’t blame Sam Worthington, who
