"A blood action movie based upon a series by novelist Mark Millar, this movie may not be the kind of flick you generally pay admission to see. But the visuals promise to be stunning, however much the dialogue may or may not be lacking in substance. Relax, enjoy and try to count how many tattoos you see . . ."

"Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox star in this movie, which of course stems from the 80s television show. This is one of my favorite movies."
Equilibrium
4 recommendations
"I used to ask candidates what their favorite movie was and if they'd ever heard of Equilibrium. An answer in the positive gave them a slight favor in my book. An incredible movie that is like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and the Hong Kong martial arts all rolled into one. The fighting style, Gun Kata, stands apart from all the other movies of the time which were all obsessed with modeling themselves ..."
Blade (1998)

"This movie blew me out of my seat. Wesley Snipes is a vampire. His mother was bitten while she was pregnant with him. So he's some weird hybrid with the ability to go out into the sunlight. He takes it upon himself to kill vampires with the help of Whistler (Kris Kristopherson) who is the father-like figure that raised him. Let the fighting begin. Amazing action movie."

Live Free or Die Hard

"This movie is funny and action packed. Plus, some of it was filmed in Baltimore. If you look super close in one scene, you can see the building where I work. Anyway, who doesn't love Bruce Wilis in his bald glory and the dorky Mac guy in the Mac commercials? They're a dynamic duo. Maggie Q appears as the hot, kick-ass Asian girl and one of the coolest guys ever, Cyril Raffaelli from District B 13 ..."

"From the same guys who brought us the fantastic Shaun of the Dead! This movie is British and hilarious. This movie is long (2 hours, 15 min.) and starts out a tad bit slow. Stick with this tho, the last half and especially the end is awesome!"
The Italian Job (2003)

"A gang of robbers, lead by career criminal Charlie Croker, create the largest traffic jam in Los Angeles history, giving them time to pull off a theft of gold bullion. They get away in their Mini Coopers, which are small enough to drive on sidewalks so they can make a clean get away before the traffic jam clears. The cast is fabulous and stars Mark Wahlberg as Charlie Croker, Charlize Theron a..."
Transporter 2
1 recommendation
"This isn't an intelligent movie. The plot at times is so outrageous it makes you cringe. However, I reccomend it for the action. Jason Statham takes his cockney english cool to fast driving and fast fights. The fight scenes in particular are great - look for the one with a firehose. I wouldn't bother watching the original (#1) movie; it is much less exciting."
The Mummy (1999)

"I'm usually not a fan of these types of movies (I have seen a Harrison Ford adventure), but Brendan Fraser has the right mix of comic relief and leading man chemistry that attracts me enough to watch this movie every time it shows on TV..."

"I'm surprised by how many times I've watched this movie but despite all those good looking shirtless guys with rock hard abs, it was a stunner of a flick. Lots of action, lots of squirty bloody battles and a sold storyline."
Iron Man Movie (2008)

"I was surprised to find how much I loved this movie. It's definitely a thinking person's action flick with well-rounded characters and a plot that doesn't give in to instant gratification. Lots of beautiful gadgets in this one to make gadget geeks drool AND car geeks. There's the R8!"
Transformers (2007) 2 disc special edition - DVD
2 recommendations
"Transformers was awesome! Never really watched it as a cartoon when I was young, but the movie was hot! I don't care what anyone says, as an action movie it couldn't have been better. The middle to end was unbelievable, especially if you have a huge TV and a surround system hooked up."

"The latest Jackie Chan movie in 2006, with a very lovely baby. For ne'er-do-well compulsive gambler Thongs (Jackie Chan), there's only one thing more fearsome than debtors at his doorstep - having to coax a crying baby. But what if the baby becomes his golden goose to fend off his debtors? Can he overcome his phobia of diapers, milk bottles and cloying lullabies? Brought up in an impoverishe..."
Jackie Chan (dot) Com

"Ever wonder what it would be like to be an A-List Hollywood movie star? Jackie Chan keeps an online diary in his own words, dating back several years in fact, that tells about his life and times in Hong Kong, the USA and all over the globe. I find it to be a very entertaining read and insightful into the real life and times of one of our greatest action-movie living treasures. His online store ..."
