Married to the Mob (1988)
Pfeiffer was a fox. Modine is surprisingly horrible. Surprisingly good cast, but pretty silly. One of the worst climactic gunfights ever. Couldn’t they find actors who knew how to hold a gun? What’s with playing useless footage that was cut from the film under the closing credits?

Domestic Disturbance (2001)
Not bad, a lot like The Stepfather. If Vaughn had knocked out a few more dramatic performances and not put on weight, I think he could have gone on to become a great leading man. Very expressive eyes.

Blue City (1986)
Nelson is ALMOST a viable leading man. Caruso definitely should have stuck to dopey sidekick roles.

Horrible 80’s cheese from the opening credits to the soundtrack to the acting to the closing credits. A few famous faces, but they’re all wasted. William Petersen is awful. Decent car chase.

I’m sure this is exactly the performance Snyder was hoping for. Fantastic action. Really nice effects are mixed with beautiful Baroque/steampunk photography. There’s that unique…

Max Manus: Man of War (2008)
Interesting story. Well-shot, except for some handheld camera during some of the film’s calmer, emotional moments. Well-casted. These guys look just like their real-life counterparts. Aksel Hennie is Norway’s James Spader.

TRON: Legacy (2010)
Not a bad extension of the story. I like Hedlund as the lead. He would have been a bit more dramatic if he was a little less cocky, but he does vaguely look and sound like Bridges. Young Bridges’ face is a little smooth and plastic-looking, and the extreme expressions…
