Sabotage
One Man Arnie Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington Review written by Tom Bevis When The Last Stand struck theaters nearly a year ago with gallons of cantankerous nostalgia and high-octane grit, many folks on the streets were speculating whether or not Arnold Schwarzenegger would be pitching his tent in Hollywood and focusing on reestablishing his acting career full-time. Even back then, I maintained that The Last Stand...
5 Hour Friends
Sand Trap City Starring: Tom Sizemore, Kimberlin Brown Review written by Robert D. Patrick Foppish attire and the plunking of piano keys, an ethereal hum of ambient noise that coils around cocktail glasses and crestfallen necks.

Need for Speed
The ‘A’-Team Starring: Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots Review written by Robert D. Patrick Need for Speed is a testosterone-shot in the form of tenderized rubber and knuckle-numbing abandon. Based on the video game franchise of the same name, this juiced up opus about vigilante justice will be a surefire hit with wrench-heads and action junkies alike. The story isn’t excruciatingly clever – Syd Field is probably...
