While it promised to rock us like a hurricane, Killer Elite instead bores us with action movie clichés aplenty and uninspired action sequences.

One of the biggest complaints you hear about Netflix Streaming is their lack of quality films. To a certain extent I would agree with that sentiment but for whatever reason I don’t have as big of a problem with their lineup as some customers do. Most of the films I watch on Netflix are more geared towards older catalog titles than new releases so that probably has a lot to do with my higher level of satisfaction. For May however Netflix has added several new releases in addition to adding a large amount of interesting catalog titles.
About time. While I appreciate the selection of older movies, Netflix is seriously lacking with newer releases compared to other streaming services.
Starship troopers :)
I wish they'd add Season 4 of the old Twilight Zone though :( it looks kind of sad to see Seasons 1-3 then jumps right to 5.

After taking a few weeks off Movies Hate You Too is back with just a few new Blu-ray releases. Conversely Universal and 20th Century Fox are releasing several large assortments of catalog titles.
I can't wait to see this...missed it at the movies but have heard so many good things about it from everyone that I know that saw it.

De Niro's early stuff might not be as comparable as Owen and Statham's (because De Niro's earlier stuff is amazing and not on the same careless action level as the other two), but he's done his fair share of shoot 'em up's, while Clive Owen actually did a film called Shoot 'Em Up. In Killer Elite all three men mix their different styles into one; making an exercise of patience and credibility."
I didn't think it was terrible but then I like Jason Statham and Clive Owen and action movies. I enjoyed the whole movie and I plan on buying it to add to my collection.
I got this yesterday and plan on watching it this weekend with my husband since he hasn't seen it. I also bought a movie called Bunraku, also a comic book movie. It has Woody Harrelson, Josh Hartnett, Demi Moore and Ron Perlman. When I saw the trailer...I knew I had to have it. It has some cool visuals and action in it.
I enjoyed this movie and I bought it. It's based on a true story and who better than the actors that were in to play the roles. It was good action and a good story.
