The movie stars Josh Lucas ,  Fernanda Urrejola ,  Venus Ariel ,  Julio Cesar Cedillo and Carlos Solórzano. Review: My wife added this to our Amazon Prime list and chose it for a movie night last night. I admittedly had some doubts about it, mostly because our choices in shark movies haven't exactly been paying off lately. However, I gave it a chance. As it turns out, it was about what I expected it to be. I think, in addition to being a rip-off of the film The Meg , this movie makes a cardinal mis...

Synopsis: After regaining control of the government, the New Founding Fathers of America immediately reinstate the annual Purge. As has been the case, the event was scheduled to last just 12 hours, however a large insurrection movement arises, determined to have a "Forever Purge" that primarily targets immigrants, forcing a small group of Texas ranchers to try to find safety on the other side of the Mexican border. Who's in it? The movie stars Ana de la Reguera , Tenoch Huerta , Josh Lucas , Cassidy Freeman and Leven Rambin . Review: To tell you the truth, I've never been a huge fan of the Purge movies.

The thing I found I liked best about this movie is the events were something I've always thought should have happened a couple movies ago. With all the...

Synopsis: The luxury liner Poseidon is struck by a rogue wave on New Year's Eve and is capsized. With rescue hours away and the ship filling up with water as it sinks, a group of survivors attempts to escape by working their way upwards toward the ship's engine room. Who's in it? The movie stars Richard Dreyfuss , Kurt Russell , Josh Lucas , Emmy Rossum and Jacinda Barrett . Review: I treated the family to take out from Applebee's yesterday evening and, since my wife and I had a little extra time from not having to make dinner and weren't really in the mood for another Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit rerun, looked for a movie on Netflix. We had both seen this movie before (on more than one occasion) but also weren't finding much else that looked overly appealing and, ultimately, decided to watch it again. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of remakes and, if I had to compare the two, I still think 1972's The Poseidon Adventure is bett...
