Homefront

Jason Statham is a former DEA agent living in the middle of nowhere after an undercover bust gone bad. When his daughter beats up a bully at school, he ends up on the wrong side of some nasty characters. It's then up to him to defend his...homefront. Look, this ain't rocket science. You know what you're getting going in - Statham looking and acting tough, great fight sequences and a barely plausible story. It's the Jason Statham formula - and it works. Rounding out the cast are Winona Ryder and Kate Bosworth as meth addicts. Bosworth, who hasn't looked healthy since Blue Crush, looks positively awful here. I mean, I know she's supposed to but...wow. She looks genuinely anorexic, ill, and messed-up here. But she's really good in her role. Anyway, this is standard fare. Entertaining though! 6/10.

Safe

Jason Statham action vehicle. Plot is convoluted but basically there's a mathematical genius Chinese girl that three rival groups (Chinese mob, Russian mob, dirty cops) are all trying to get ahold of. Statham rescues her. The end. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of bodies falling in this one. Pretty good movie for what it tried to be. I enjoyed it. 6/10.

The Italian Job

Love this movie. It's like 90% style and 10% substance, but I don't care. It's got Marky Mark, my favorite actor going. It's got Edward Norton, who I also like a lot. And it has scorching hot Charlize Theron at the absolute peak of her hotness through the entire movie. Throw in some fun car stuff, a couple cool heists, and you've got movie gold. 9/10.
