Honest Thief - Movie Review


 Liam Neeson

Let's face it. Liam Neeson has been doing a lot of action movies since Taken back in 2009. His has done voice work as Aslan in the three Chronicles of Narnia movies. He has even played the villain in movies like Batman Begins and The Haunting. Although his movie credits go back even further, the first movie that I remember him from is the original Darkman. I have to admit I have many movies with Liam in. I have not seen ever movie he has been in but the ones I have seen are either good or great. Let me know if you have seen him in a bad movie.

Review

I was drawn to this movie as the plot was something I had not seen. With Liam Neeson, Jai Courtney, Kate Walsh, Robert Patrick, and Jeffrey Donovan in it, I imagined it would be at least a good movie. Honestly, I didn't realize Jeffrey Donovan was in the movie until I started watching it for those who are Burn Notice fans. The movie did not disappoint. The story was something I had not seen before and moved at a good pace. The cast provided great performances. The only disappointing part was the end. They provided foreshadowing of events after the final scene but it would have been nice to have seen it. Overall a very good movie that will take you on an adventure.

Rating

I would give this movie a HD rating. I recommend adding this movie to your collection if it is under $10. I picked my HD copy up from Family Video for $8. See my post about Family Video closing.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
