THE MECHANIC (2011) *** Jason Statham, Ben Foster, Tony Goldwyn, Donald
Sutherland. Decent action-packed reboot of the 1972 Charles Bronson
cult-classic about a professional hit man (Statham at his stealthiest)
reluctantly recruiting the son (Foster, all p*ss and vinegar) of his
slain mentor (Sutherland) after his task assignment of killing him off,

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this movie is getting as
lousy reviews as it is. I walked out of the theatre quite pleased; even
if this movie will not get an Oscar, it earned the price of my ticket.
It's campy, silly, and bright, and there is nothing like a fluffy romp
around the sunny islands to cure those winter blues.Admittedly, it's a contrived, predictable...

and who probably deserves an Oscar nom for it, were it not coming out

Is Robert Towne L.A.'s Woody Allen? His portraits of the city are
indelible, and one of the chief pleasures of Ask the Dust is the way in
which the depression-era City of Angels becomes a character in the

where people come to slowly die in the sunshine and is fascinating as a
