(L to R) Rookie operative Matt Weston (RYAN REYNOLDS) tries to outwit legendary spy Tobin Frost (DENZEL WASHINGTON) in the action-thriller "Safe House".

After Green Lantern, it’s a pleasure to see Ryan Reynolds matching wits [and chops] with Denzel Washington – who seems to be joining Liam Neeson as a middle-aged action star – in a movie that is actually the kind of taut, suspenseful thriller that is as smart as it is violent.

New Spider-Man Trailer

Gotta say this summer is shaping up to be an amazing year for Super-Hero movies – The Dark Night, Avengers, Chronicle, and now what I believe will be the “sleeper” – The Amazing Spider-Man.  I originally was completely against the idea of a reboot and telling the origin story yet again. But frankly I hated the Raimi original, loved the sequel and thought the 3rd movie got unfairly trashed.  Raimi made the Spider-Man world too glossy and I always hated the CGI Web Slinging it took me out of the movie.  Here it looks a lot more realistic and I like the design of the new costume.  The one thing I hate in this trailer is once again Spider-Man gets his mask taken off. What’s the point of having a secret identity if your mask keeps getting ripped off. He needs to talk to Ray Mysterio, Jr. about tricks to keeping that thing on.  Here’s the new trailer.

Woman-In-Black-Movie-Review

After The Woman In Black I think we can safely stop working in Harry Potter references every time Daniel Radcliffe’s name is mentioned.  You have to admire how far he’s come as an actor and all the really interesting projects he’s taken on over the last few years.  The one thing this move shows is he does have star power, but even that power is not enough to save this kludgy, dreary mess of a movie.
