- DirectorTony ScottStarsDenzel WashingtonChristopher WalkenDakota FanningIn Mexico City, a former CIA operative swears vengeance on those who committed an unspeakable act against the family he was hired to protect.An incredibly powerful film depicting the dark social futility of Mexican government corruption and evil. Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning pull your heart out as you watch "Creasy", (Washington) portray a surly exCIA hitman turned alcoholic take on the position of a bodyguard for the sheltered American daughter (Fanning) of a corrupt businessman father. A dark violent film that shows the desperation and evil living on the streets of Mexico City, it is still a powerful message of love and redemption.
- DirectorGuy FerlandStarsSimon BakerRobin TunneyTim KangPatrick discovers that a young botanist who was murdered was working on a valuable new strain of marijuana, and Cho runs into an old friend with a big surprise during a bust.Grace is a bit plump in this episode cause she is big-time preggers!
- CreatorBruno HellerStarsSimon BakerRobin TunneyTim KangFamous "psychic", Patrick Jane, outs himself as a fake, and using his heightened observational skills and impeccable knowledge of the human psyche, he works with the police so he can find "Red John", the madman who killed his family.This week's episode shows that Grace (Amanda Righetti) VanPelt is SOOOO pregnant...the director has her sitting tucked up to her desk in the CBI office; her face, shoulders and arms are seriously plump... and they're no longer including her any field ops. We want the "hot" agent VanPelt back!
- DirectorJeremy SilberstonStarsLisa EllisAnthony HowellCharles DanceThe arrest of a young girl on a sabotage charge brings Foyle into contact with a group of English Nazi sympathizers.This episode features more interaction between Foyle and his young female chauffeur, Samantha "Sam" Stewart (Honeysuckle Weeks) who endeavors This BBC series is actually a fine portrayal of the historical intrigues and factual discrepancies that surround the Stalinist era. To many students of history the story told about the end of Stalin's life has been officially tailored for minimum controversy. This series piques the conspiracy fanatic to see beyond the need for popular 007-esque shoot-em-up scenes from Daniel Craig, and delves more fully into the cultural dissonance and still-oppressed lifestyles in today's Russia. It takes the more informed audience to see that the story challenges a western viewer to understand life in today's Russia. To realize the present generational conflict among both anti- and pro-soviet era senior citizens and the contemporary Russian society who are trying to justify the need for genuine freedom, even if to understand mistakes of the past to be part of the investigation. Sam helps Foyle pry clues from loose-lipped female staff and pesters the Inspector with questions about the case.
- DirectorScott HicksStarsZac EfronTaylor SchillingBlythe DannerA Marine travels to Louisiana after serving three tours in Iraq and searches for the unknown woman he believes was his good luck charm during the war.This movie is Sssssoooooooooo BAD! While formulaic to Nicholas Sparks' sacharin type love stories⦠the casting is abominable: Zach Efron still hasn't gotten his "man-chops" as a male lead that would be returning from battle as a US Marine; Blythe Danner isn't near as soft & grandmotherly as needed for this role, and Taylor Schilling I looks a minimum 10 years too old for this part!
- CreatorsLee AronsohnChuck LorreStarsJon CryerAshton KutcherAngus T. JonesA hedonistic jingle writer's free-wheeling life comes to an abrupt halt when his brother and 10-year-old nephew move into his beach-front house.This show is now SO BAD that one is embarrassed to admit they still watch it. The Walden(Ashton) and Alan(Jon) story dynamic is now so very lame that the once humorous and sexist remarks are just bad. The girlfriends (Zoey & whatshername) are whining high maintenance semi-skanky shrews. Berta's lines are very lame. And Jake (the kid who was at times the funniest part of the show) has been cut out. And most annoying is that Writer/Producer Chuck (I am very important & relevant â¦in HollywoodHollywood ) Lorre is using his, at times hysterical, closing Vanity Cards to sell his lame ass book.
Face it Chuck⦠your & CBS's effort to make this once GREAT show, politically correct and less expensive (You don't think they just fired Charlie cause he was a drugged up nut case do ya?)â¦
Fire/retire Ashton(Walden) to BoraBora w/Zoeyâ¦have Charlie wash-up on the beach after escaping French Connection subway flasherâ¦have Jake get kicked out (or at least reappear) from the Army as an undercover recruiterâ¦bring back Judith & Herb â¦and maybe fire Chuck Lorreâ¦and you MIGHT be able to salvage another two yearsâ¦if not, well just ask Henry Winkler, Maclean Stevenson and Shelley Long what happens when the network wants "just one more season" and tries to control the acting & writing talent.
I heard they wanted to have Walden(Ashton) go down on the beach and jump a motorcycle over a dead shark that Chuck Lorre kept calling "charlie"⦠- CreatorsLee AronsohnChuck LorreStarsJon CryerAshton KutcherAngus T.

- DirectorRupert SandersStarsKristen StewartChris HemsworthCharlize TheronIn a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.The ONLY good parts of this film are:
1) Chris Hemsworth (sic) â¦actually tries to play the part;
2) the CGFX are phenomenal and make the movie fun, particularly,
3) the dwarfsâ¦How'd they make such a great, talented (yet not onscreen enough) ensemble of actors so small?
Well its a overall a waste of talent, money and timeâ¦don't bother. - DirectorTony ScottStarsDenzel WashingtonChris PineRosario DawsonWith an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train barreling toward a city, a veteran engineer and a young conductor race against the clock to prevent a catastrophe.I LOVE this movie because of its simplicity... it doesn't try too hard to be more than it is. Well written, and well acted, it even includes a typical Americana lifestyle in central of the marriage troubled & forced retirement of 2 decent RR workers. The line when Denzel is about to leave the Engine cab and climb over the cars to slow the train "Now don't get sentimental on me... makes me think I'm gonna die!" is a great teaser and also a wonderful tension break as the climactic scenes build.
