    The Fall Guy review: stunts, explosions & romance

    The Fall Guy doesn’t have much of a plot, but it works as a satire. It’s an action movie making fun of action movies with endless stunts, explosions, rolling cars, high speed fights, and open door helicopter fights. Don’t forget the romance! Can’t leave that out.

The other Villeneuve film I recently reviewed is…

    Review: Arthur Newman

    Arthur Newman stars Emily Blunt and Colin Firth. When I noticed it on Netflix, I saw it didn’t have a very high rating. I would watch Emily Blunt in just about anything so I gave it a chance. I’m glad I did. My opinion of the film turned out to be higher than others.

    Actors on Actors -UPDATED

    Variety has created a series of conversations called “Actors on Actors” that are fascinating discussions between peers. Most of them are a man and a woman. I picked these three to include here because both the conversationalists are women, but don’t overlook the others at Variety Studio: Actors on Actors. The women’s conversations are about…
