Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Back in another incredible mission

As a movie about some sea monster driven to kill everyone for a heavy dinner in its stuffy playground, “Sector 7” does not break any new ground. Heck, it does not even know where the old grounds to drill are. … Continue reading
Quick (2011) ☆☆(2/4) : Slow delivery of bombs, actions, and cheap gags
The most interesting part of “Quick”, the latest South Korean action movie, is the behind-the-scene footage shown to us at the end credit. I understood they tried to make good action scenes, I saw how much the stunt men and … Continue reading
