Red 2 review: global positioning
Smart, breezy spy action, with an of-the-moment vibe that takes it post-post-9/11 and into the Wikileaks era of global politics.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Broken City (review)
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this script had been sitting around, unproduced, for 20 years, it’s that musty…
Rock of Ages (review)
