The Island (2005) – Scarlett Johansson, Ewan McGregor Michael Bay SCI-FI ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Michael Bay gets a lot of shit but he’s been involved in a lot of good films. Flicks like BAD BOYS and THE ROCK are classics and his “more is more” approach to filmmaking is always fun to watch. In 2005, the Bay film “THE ISLAND” was […]
My Spy (2020) – Amazon Original Dave Bautista ACTION/COMEDY MOVIE REVIEW

Cobra (1986) – Sylvester Stallone ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 1986, Sylvester Stallone’s ego was about as big as it could get. Coming off of ROCKY IV, a huge blockbuster that brought home 300 million at the box office and RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II, another 300 million dollar winner, Sly was at the top of […]

Daylight (1996) – Sylvester Stallone New York City Tunnel Disaster Movie Review
By Geno McGahee I love disaster movies. Considering that Sylvester Stallone has done just about every genre, it was only a matter of time before he tried his hand at a disaster film. They were trending at the time. There was TWISTER, DEEP IMPACT, TITANIC, INDEPENDENCE DAY, VOLCANO and DANTE’S […]
Blue City (1986) – Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy SUSPENSE/DRAMA FILM REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 1985, THE BREAKFAST CLUB was a monster hit and was the hopeful launching pad for Judd Nelson, the arguable star of the film. Starring alongside him was Ally Sheedy, so putting them together again made sense and it should have made dollars too, but it bombed […]
Face/Off (1997) – Nicolas Cage – John Travolta ACTION/SUSPENSE MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Nicolas Cage is one of the best forces film has ever seen. His overacting is something that legends are made of. In 1997, one of the best ideas was realized when Cage was teamed up with another one of the best over-actors of our time, John Travolta, […]
