What started as street-level crime movies that focused more on fancy cars and racing has progressed into global espionage action films with some of the most ridiculous stunts we’ve ever seen on film. Though not…

Review – Going in Style

Review – Going in Style

Going in Style is Ocean’s 11 for people in the AARP crowd.  It is an amusing, quirky, lighthearted film with a stellar cast that is incredibly predictable, yet mildly enjoyable. Desperate to pay the bills and come through for their loved ones, three lifelong pals, Joe (Michael Caine), Albert (Alan Arkin), and Willie (Morgan Freeman), risk it all by embarking on a daring bid to knock off the very bank that is taking their money. The dynamic trio of…
