Top Ten Action Films Seen In The Last Year: Digital Shortbread
Thanks very kindly to my friend Zoe at the fabulous Sporadic Chronicles blog for posting up my selection of the Best Action/Thriller films I had seen in the last year (December ’12 to December ’13). I am honored to be featured on such a quality site and hope you all have a chance to go and check out not only my list but her writing as well.
Tom from Digital Shortbread rose gloriously to the occasion of submitting a Top Ten list to my site, and he brought an interesting theme to the table: Top Ten Actions Films Seen In The Last Year. Well, this list was tons of fun. If you have not checked out Tom’s site, I would highly recommend that you stop by and have a look see what is going on, and how much pie he awards any and all things that he comes across. Well-written and presented reviews and plenty of cool features, Digital Shortbread is the place to be!

Pompeii
Release: Friday, February 21, 2014 [Theater] No warning. No escape. No plot. No problem. . . . . .at least, to an extent.

TBT: Cool Runnings (1993)
East Tennessee weather, Jamaican me crazy. It's been unseasonably warm these past couple of days even for our standards. As I'm blogging today I'm sitting outside in shorts and t-shirt in February, and the thought just crossed my mind that today's entry is twice as appropriate. We have a movie that will not only warm … Continue reading TBT: Cool Runnings (1993)

Kinnaman (The Girl … Continue reading RoboCop
TBT: Blades of Glory (2007)
And I guess we are going to switch tones here quickly, by choosing a comedy vehicle for Mr. Will Ferrell for this Thursday. A comedy that has blades. Because that is really the only thing I can say about it that's mostly positive and truthful; or I could lie and say something really cheesy, like. … Continue reading TBT: Blades of Glory (2007)
