Synopsis – A disgraced ex-cop seeks solace by moving to the woods, but his quiet life comes to an end when a private eye recruits him to investigate a murder.

Could we really be getting another Lethal Weapon weapon movie in the near future? Well, according to producer Daniel Lin, probably yes! It’s been more than 20 years since Lethal Weapon 4 graced movie screens everywhere. Sadly, this also means it’s been over two decades since Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Joe Pesci were in a movie together — a thing I very much don’t like.

Craig Zahler has been making quite the name for … Continue reading Dragged Across Concrete (2018) Review!!

I’ll be blunt about this: the Razzie awards suck. Now in its 38th year, the Razzies give out honors to the worst films, performers, screenplays, and even screen combos of the year, and that’s all well and good.

I’ve never been interested in watching the Lethal Weapon TV series, but the concept makes sense. The film franchise had run out of gas, there hadn’t been a new entry since 1998, and the IP still had value as a buddy-cop comedy.

According to Deadline, Daddy’s Home 2 is … Continue reading ‘Daddy’s Home 2’ May Add Mel Gibson and John Lithgow; Release Date Announced!!!
Awards season took another leap forward today as the 2017 Golden Globe nominations were announced. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association spread the love around, but the season’s three biggest contenders—La La Land, Moonlight, and Manchester by the Sea—all had big showings in the major categories, so not any surprises on that front. If anything got a boost from the Globes—and really they don’t have too … Continue reading Golden Globe Nominations: ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ Makes Strong Showing as ‘Silence’ Is Shut Out!!

Back in June, a very curious piece of news cropped up. Mel Gibson has been out of the public eye as a filmmaker for a while, but he’s returning to the fray with this fall’s World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge.
