Common
Common & Moon Bloodgood—
Terminator Salvation
—2/28/09
Common: 'One day they came and told me...'Yo, it’s the scene your brother got killed.' I’m like, 'I didn’t even know I had a brother!'...when I got to the set, they was like 'Oh, he’s not your brother anymore.'
American Gangster (2007)
Inflated talk of
American Gangster
as a modern masterpiece--or even an Oscar-worthy picture--ignores the fact that there's not a single memorable setpiece in the film.
Wanted (2008)
Delivers slam-bang action entertainment, and does it while putting a surprising twist on the archetypal heroic journey.
Terminator Salvation (2009)
The action sometimes conjures a thrill-ride's breathtaking quality or, in other words,
Terminator Salvation
's only hope of redemption with audiences.
Happy Feet Two (2011)
'It brings out my happy.' For kids facing a potentially rough adulthood, it's probably a message worth hearing, maybe more than once.
Hell on Wheels: The Complete First Season (2012)
No
Deadwood
. Still, AMC's drama series about the people surrounding the 1865 building of the transcontinental railroad proves surprisingly compelling on its own terms...
Hell on Wheels: The Complete Second Season (2012)
John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
Makes the case for the
Wick
franchise as a kind of bizarro James Bond...This antihero may not be licensed to kill, but now he lives in a similarly slick universe of action fantasy and exotic settings.
Smallfoot (2018)
Bland... something of a thinker, even a subversive one, but it’s dubious that kids will pick up on the provocation between the pratfalls and the pop songs.
