Reviewed by Patrick Bromley
Quote: "Despite being less of a balls-out action movie than Statham typically stars in, Parker is movie violent than just about anything he's done before."

Loophole (1954)

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry / Race With the Devil (Blu-ray)

2013-05-17

Reviewed by Patrick Bromley

Broken City (Blu-ray)

Reviewed by Tom Becker
Quote: "To say Broken City breaks no new ground is an understatement."

Safe Haven (Blu-ray)

2013-05-15

Reviewed by Patrick Naugle
Quote: "The whole thing comes off as a schmaltzy melodrama that offers nothing in the way of originality. I take that back, it offers one surprise so monumentally idiotic that even M. Night Shyamalan would have said, "Oh, HELL no!""

Reviewed by Gordon Sullivan
Quote: "A decent little mixture of history and mystery."
