Undisputed III: Redemption (2010)

USA

96 mins.

Directed by Isaac Florentine

Starring: Scott Adkins, Mykel Jenkins, Marko Zaror, Mark Ivanir, Robert Costanzo

Director Isaac Florentine is in a rare group of filmmakers these days. He has successfully created a reverse-quality franchise. After the forgettable original Undisputed, Florentine took over the wheel from Walter Hill and hit the ground running. Undisputed II: Last Man Standing was better than anyone ever expected it would be and put most theatrical action flicks to shame. The same goes for Undisputed III and even more so. The fact that this went straight to video and The Spy Next Door was on thousands of theater screens makes me want to paper cut myself.

The Town (2010)

USA
124 mins.
Directed by Ben Affleck
Starring: Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm, Blake Lively, Pete Postlethwaite, Chris Cooper

There's something about a good crime movie in Boston that feels fresh every time, no matter how often they go back. The Departed and Gone Baby Gone are both shining examples of this. Enter: The Town.

Case 39 (2009)

USA

105 mins.

Directed by Christian Alvart

Starring: Renee Zellweger, Bradley Cooper, Ian McShane, Jodelle Ferland

Why was Case 39 shelved for so long after it was finished? About two-and-a-half years after it was supposed to be released, it arrives silently in the night. That's a much more interesting mystery than what ends up shaking loose from this tame, afraid-to-offend-or-shock thriller. 

Let Me In (2010)

USA

115 mins.

Directed by Matt Reeves

Starring: Chloe Moretz, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Richard Jenkins, Elias Koteas

The fact that Let Me In is just as good as Let the Right One In probably doesn't sit well with some people. You know those people. Always complaining about evil Hollywood remaking everything in sight. Usually they're right. In this instance, they are wrong. The only real differences between the two films are cultural and any other true differences are minor at best. I usually admit when something is true, like for example Uwe Boll actually making a decent movie (Rampage). Was I initially skeptical about the remake like most? Sure. Of course. But, I had no problem psyching myself up for it as soon as the trailers and advertising showed up and assuaged my reservations.
