Review: "Safe Haven"

Directed by: Lasse Hallstroem Starring: Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel Rating: PG-13 Running Time: 115 The newest Nicholas Sparks movie, “Safe Haven,” is part of a proud legacy of romantic melodrama that includes “A Walk to Remember” and “The Notebook.” But “Safe Haven” doesn’t live up to its predecessors: this time, Sparks gives us a total dud.

"Bullet to the Head"

Directed by: Walter Hill Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Sung Kang, Jason Momoa, Christian Slater Rating: R Runtime: 91 min. “Bullet to the Head,” based on the crime noir graphic novel “Du Plomb Dans La Tete,” is certainly graphic but offers nothing novel.  The stereotypical action flick follows hitman Jimmy Bobo (Sylvester Stallone) and self–righteous Detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) as they join forces to stop a conspiracy involving greedy businessmen, corrupt cops and other action movie cliches. The plot and characters are just tools to engineer more reasons for shooting, but even that leaves something to be desired.
