Hitman: Agent 47, American Ultra: Lone Man With A Gun. Week of August 21, 2015

One movie about contract killers and another that touts the uniqueness of the "American" culture.  I suppose American Ultra is about wild and crazy things that only American youth stoners can get involved in. No youths in any other country comes close, hence the "American" in the title.



 Zachary Quinto of Star Trek fame is in this one. I like him, but I'm not sure I'd bring myself to see it though.



Fantasy of Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg as those wild and crazy self entitled American kids with can do spirit. I'll pass.

No Escape: Lone Man With A Gun, Week of August 16, 2015

Rounding off the month of August 2015 is "No Escape," following an American family living in Southeast Asia who get caught in the middle of a violent revolution. They must flee to safety while being hunted by a murderous rebel leader."  Sounds like one of those white people in exotic country using their superior wits and "can do" spirit to escape bodily harm threatened by the murderous locals. Somehow, against the local army with a full array of weapons, our white heroes happen to acquire guns which give them a level playing field to escape. Tired of this shit. Will pass. Besides, I can't take Owen Wilson seriously as a action hero, and I still think of Pierce Brosnan as 007.

Lone Man With a Gun: The Man From U.N.C.L.E: August 14, 2015


Super stylized poster harken back to the 60's where those Brits make spies oh so slick and cool with only a hint of gun violence that is done so ummm stylishly.

What I am afraid of is that it's all style and no content. Guess I will pass.

Lone Man With Gun: Cop Car, August 8, 2015



I'm guessing: Two innocent kids running into a bad cop, and viiolence and tragedy ensues. Everyone learns a lesson.  I respect Kevin Bacon, and he sure looks badass, but I'm not sure I want to watch the movie.
