Haven isn’t one of the top notch amongst the interconnected ensemble dramas and really doesn’t have a whole lot to say, though thankfully not as heavy-handed but I generally thought the performances were alright at least.
S.M.A.R.T. Chase is a poorly scripted action-thriller in an otherwise competently shot film. It’s also Orlando Bloom’s foray into the abyss of the direct-to-video realm.
Unlocked actually isn’t a terrible movie though it is on the average range of spectrum as the script needed and the villain’s ultimate motive is just nonsensical but at least Noomi Rapace was good in the lead role.
Unlike the recently released Transformers: The Last Knight, which was a dull movie in itself, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was at least passably boring and was mercifully only two hours long. But like Transformers, this franchise just needs to come to a close as neither is very creative or, worse yet, entertaining.
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced the date and released artwork for the suspense-thriller, Unlocked starring Noomi Rapace, Orlando Bloom, Toni Collette, John Malkovich and Michael Douglas. Click on the link below or image to the left to check out the features and artwork.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies ends one of the more mundane trilogies and although certainly the passion was there, Peter Jackson and company turned what should have been a 5 hour two-parter into three movies with unnecessary filler to go along with characters, new ones specifically, that were utterly forgettable.

Although Desolation of Smaug is an improvement over Unexpected Journey, I still wasn’t crazy about the installment with the action scenes, albeit well filmed, seemingly blurring from one to the next and you once more had references to LOTR, a series I have far more interest in re-watching and caring about than this one thus far.

Still, fans will probably get more out of this than I did so on that front, it might be worth a rental.
The Three Musketeers isn’t a great or even innovative movie but still somewhat entertaining. Director Paul W.S. Anderson “borrows” different styles done in better movies yet it still works while the cast is well done and mostly give adequate performances even if some of the characters are paper thin. As it stands, if you’re not a stickler for the source material, you might get something out of the movie; otherwise you’d be better off skipping.
I was absolutely enthralled with 2006’s Paris, I Love You as it beautifully showcased the City of Love, Lights, Dreams, Art, et cetera while also giving us stories that made use of each precious minute allotted; and I had high hopes for the follow-up, New York, I Love You where we get to see the City That Never Sleeps. Unfortunately even though the directors try their best to showcase New York, the stories never quite hit the emotional levels (be it for comedy or drama) that I felt with Paris.
