Premium Rush (2012)

"I like to ride. Fixed gear. No brakes. Can't stop. Don't want to, either."


It's not a 10 star film but it is a fun ride with action that makes up for a few flaws in plot and the flow of storyline. The best issue in this film is almost constant action and wild biking through the New York streets. A movie that while thin and silly, moves with such joyous speed that you almost want to throw your arms in the air and scream. One of the elements that were new to the screen and highly workable were the sudden stop of action to follow the split-second decision making of a messenger/biker. Choices (usualy three) that have to be made in the moment. The bad guy in the film is nasty and very believable. Enjoy the earthy feel of the cameras that capture the life of a messenger on two wheels competing with trucks, cabs, and cops.

Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)



A cacophony of abstract action-horror mayhem, this fifth entry in the video-game-inspired franchise finds superheroine Alice (Milla Jovovich) massacring zombies per usual as she attempts to escape an underwater complex. Retribution really doesn't offer anything new, if Alice remembers anything at all she probably will have a feeling of deja-vu from the previous instalments but the movie barrels along from one gory, action set-piece to another without giving the audience too long to worry about how ridiculous it all is.
