Review – The Foreigner

Posted on October 11, 2017November 20, 2017 by Kevin Wozniak

The Foreigner has been marketed as Jackie Chan’s Taken (2008), where an older, accomplished actor is cast in an action-focused film with a lot of hand-to-hand combat. They’ve tried to replicate this kind of film with a number of actors like Kevin Costner (Three Days to Kill), John Travolta (From Paris with Love), Sean Penn (The Gunman), and Pierce Brosnan (November Man).

Review – Blade Runner 2049

Posted on October 6, 2017November 20, 2017 by Kevin Wozniak

Blade Runner 2049 is a rare cinematic occurrence in that it is a long delayed sequel (30+ years) that exceeds the original by miles. Everything about Blade Runner 2049 is better than the 1982 original Ridley Scott film. This is a true sci-fi noir that features great performances, bold filmmaking, a twisty, captivating story, and some of the best visuals I have seen on screen in 2017. It is really hard to explain…
