Transporter Refueled: Lone Man With Gun: September 4, 2015

Sadly, even when refueled, this franchise seems to be running out of gas.  The original movie poster was understated, featuring Frank Martin played by new comer Ed Skrein in a lone gunman pose but without any weapons.  So, I bet when the movie didn't do well, the producers decided to add some guns to the DVD cover to spice up some expectation. I liked the first "Transporter", but by the second one, I was already burned out with this story. Then made a third, and now the 4th. Pass.

How ridiculous can this DVD cover be?

Weekend of January 9, 2015: Four Movie Posters All Featuring Guns






Predestination with Ethan Hawke. How do you confront destiny with a gun? Hocus pocus.
Preservation: "Man is the only animal that kills for fun." I guess these three poster boys/girl are being hunted down for fun by someone and they need to survive. Even if the movie is good, the movie is just plain trite. Will pass.




Taken 3. Truthfully, Liam Neeson must be the most unlucky former special forces guy in the world. His wife and daughter somehow gets repeatedly abducted or killed. I half way enjoyed the first Taken movie but think the next two are unnecessary. Tag line says "It ends here." I hope so. Will pass.

The World Made Straightt: For Blood, For Money, For a Way Out" Starring my favorite former ER doctor Noah Wylie. Apparently this one is a coming of age story and may be okay. However, this lousy poster does not give any indication as to what the movie can possibly be about. Not interested.
