Covert Affairs: Watch Annie a CIA Action Agent--Click Link--http://hub.me/acRwk
Alexander Coates (Steven Seagal) is the king of crime as he
sits on his throne over-seeing his territory given to him as his birthright.
However, deep in his thoughts is a desire to get out of the business. Although
he has worked hard for his criminal kingdom and all its monetary gains---he wants
more, and maybe that more is a normal life with a family.
But it does not matter what he wishes for at the moment because
there’s an issue to handle that takes its place. Alexander sends for Roman Hurst
( Bren Foster) his assassin apprentice who’s trained to function and complete
assignments given to him. Roman is as skilled in martial arts as Alexander and
proves it by his actions.
Alexander
cares for Roman who might be the closest to a good friend he has, but he has trained
everyone in employment---that each are responsible for their actions.
If they do something wrong they accept their punishment. So, when he sends
Roman into a prison to assassinate a prisoner he expects the job completed
without complications.
Roman fights
his way into the prison using all his skills and then some; and, finally finds
the mark and kills him. What appeared as a simple assignment to Alexander is a
case of mistaken identity for Roman. So, Alexander being the tough dogmatic
king of his empire feels that Roman has embarrassed him. Therefore, Roman will suffer
the consequences, and since he is the brave silent type he is ready to do so.
Alexander gives Roman over to gangsters for his punishment with a heavy heart maybe. Or--- is he a cruel demented criminal without one? Roman is hurt really bad as they smashed his
hands so he cannot use a gun or his skills to defend himself. He hides to heal while he suffers silently in his
dark mood. He stays in a room over a business owned and operated by Jimmy
Peanuts (Danny Trejo) and, finally Jimmy helps his hands heal. Jimmy is as mean and dangerous as any criminal and will fight for the ones close to his heart.
When the Ice
Man (Ving Rhames) hits town and starts to take over Alexander’s kingdom the fireworks begin,
and mayhem and chaos become a normal day. The Ice Man is not afraid of Mr.
Alexander as he calls him. However, it is never wise to underestimate a
seasoned crime lord. And, this is when Alexander jumps into the mix and shows
the Ice Man why he is king of his empire.
I cannot
wait to get this DVD and it comes out December 17th 2013. Steven
Seagal has been one of my favorite action actors for many years. And, like my
chosen white wine---he just gets better and better.
Narcotics Detective Ray Tango (Sylvester Stallone) is a
very dark handsome, debonair man and wealthy man---ranking higher on the social
level than a regular Beverly Hills Detective. When others are checking the
sports status of their favorite team, Ray Tango is checking on the stock market
and his investments.
Completely different from Narcotics Detective Gabriel Cash (Kurt
Russell) who is also very good-looking, with sapphire-blue eyes and
deep dimples; and, who thinks dressing well is wearing a clean shirt and jeans.
He fits in with the Downtown Los Angeles division.
Tango and Cash are very popular and cannot endure each other;
as each is proud of his known fame. And enjoyed being held in such esteem by many. They worked every
day in their districts without running into each other, while both upset the
Crime Lord Yves Perret (Jack Palance) as they searched and
destroyed his drug operations.Yves Perret is livid because Tango and Cash reduced his income as they shut down more and more of his drug operations daily. So he concocts
a plan to get them both out of his hair and business.
Tango and Cash received
information of a big drug bust at a certain location one night, so they both
showed up. And, of course they ran into each other as planned by Perret. Each man
with his huge ego will try to outdo the other by being first on the scene. Little
did they know it was a frame-up; and, a dead FBI agent waited for them wearing
a wire.
Suddenly, they’re surrounded by FBI agents who finds Cash’s
pistol on the floor; resulting in their arrested. Their trail was not long and
the frame-up worked because the audio tape convicted them by an audio expert who verified the tape as authentic.
They plead no contest to a lesser charge for 18 months in a
minimum-security prison. However, bad luck rode the bus with them as they arrived
at a maximum-security prison where criminals they arrested in the past were
serving time.
Tango’s only family was his beautiful sister Katherine ‘Kiki’
Tango (Teri Hatcher) who worked as a dancer in a club. Tango loved his
sister very much and was overly protective of her. He constantly wanted to buy
her things, and she wanted to get them on her own. Now, what do you think will
happen when Cash meets Kiki?
This is a good movie and over the years I enjoyed my video; until my video player ate it. So I need to buy a DVD of Tango and Cash.
Somewhere in Mexico Col. Hannibal Smith (Liam Neeson) is
handcuffed to a chair by Mexican corrupted police officers who are taking turns
hitting him.
They soon get tired of beating him, they take his money and leave, but they send in the Bulldogs to have a free meal of Hannibal. Hannibal unlocks the
cuffs with the pin from his gun just in time to save himself from the dogs.
Then somewhere else in Mexico B.A. Baracus (Quinton
‘Rampage’ Jackson) is back to collect his girl---that is what he calls his
black van that he loves---from a garage owner who is keeping it.
Suddenly, a fight
breaks out and B.A. Baracus, who has huge arms with muscles rippling down to
his fingertips, makes a short and fast exit with his van after knocking
everyone out who fought with him.
He has tattoos on each hand. The left hand
has the word ‘Play’ tattooed on it and the right one has the word ‘Fool’; he
starts his fights with the play fist and ends up with the fool fist.
Still in Mexico is Lt. ‘Faceman ‘Face’ Peck ( Bradley Cooper) who is now being
invaded by more crooked and mean Mexicans who are holding his girlfriend and
has him trapped in five tries. They are beating him all the while Face is
laughing and asking them---is that your best shot? Face is trapped in the tires.
In the meantime Hannibal is trying to get to him by running
across the desert to save Face, when he sees a van moving fast in the direction of his friend. Hannibal stops the van and hijacks it by shooting B.A. Baracus in
the right arm. Hannibal tells him---I am not a thief but if I do not reach my
friend in time he dies. Hannibal and B.A. discovered they were both special
selected soldiers---Rangers---and proudly wear the same tattoo.
They arrive in time to save Face from being burned alive and
the four of them the three men and Face’s girlfriend ride off in B.A.’s
girl---the black van. They meet up with the fourth special selected soldier in
the hospital who will sew-up the bullet wound on B.A.’s arm. His name is
Captain H.M. Murdock (Sharlto Copley) he will be the fourth member of the
A-Team.
Then the mission begins with the four American soldiers---The A-Team---who
are in Iraq waiting to be sent on a mission by Hannibal’s good friend General Morrison.
They are sent to
retrieve plates for printing 100 dollar bills, and, the thieves had already
printed a billion dollars. And, this is where the action commences, with
adventure fireworks, dealings, double dealings, double crossing, court
martialed, prison and prison breaks.
Fasten your seatbelt all you action fans because this is a
great action movie---I loved it from the beginning to the end. I would love to
see this A-Team do an A-Team II.
Note: I love Bradley Cooper in this movie he is funny.
Jesse Stone Series--Click Link: https://youtu.be/xMJFie7JfbY
Driver (Dwayne Johnson) was sent to prison for ten years for
being involved with his brother in a bank heist. His brother (Matt Gerald) was
the only one in Driver’s crude upbringing who really loved him. His step-father
beat him and his mother (Annie Corley) never tried to intervene at any time.
Only his brother tried to protect him and showed him what brotherly love was
all about.
So when his brother’s driver for the bank job backed
out---Driver offered to drive for his brother. Although Driver was never in the
bank and never had a gun---he was still involved as the driver---making him an accessory.
Driver proved to be an excellent driver as he eluded the
police cars that chased them all over the city. So the good news is they got
away. The bad news is another gang decided to rob Driver’s brother’s gang of
the bank money.
Five men were involved---but only four broke into the house
and shot two of the gang then tied up driver and his brother. They demanded to
know where the money was---but the brother would not tell them. One of the guys
threatened to shoot the brother several times if they did not tell them where
the money was hidden.
Driver was afraid for his brother’s life---so he told them
where they hid the money. So everything was fine they found the money so Driver
thought they would leave. His brother kept telling Driver everything would be
alright.
After they found the money the big black guy with the
tattoos on his hands and arms grabbed Driver’s brother head and cut his throat.
Driver was screaming---as he watched his brother fall to the floor bleeding out
before his eyes---and he could not do anything. One of the men had a camera and
told Driver to smile---and that was when Driver looked into the camera and
said---I will hunt you down and kill every one of you.
The 5th
man a dirty cop (Billy Bob Thornton) who was the leader walked into the room
and pulled his gun and shot Driver in the head. Driver was left for dead---but
he had an Angel looking out for him that day. The surgeons saved his life---then
implanted a metal plate in his head to replace what was blown away by the
bullet. The bullet went through his head and out his cheek---leaving a nasty
scar.
Driver finally
got out of prison and he was on his way to avenge his brother’s death. He paid
a guy with contacts to make a list of the four men and to find out where his
girlfriend was so he could find them all.
Driver did
not realize the man in charge was the 5th man---a dirty cop---who
did not care who he hurt as long as he got his way.
Driver
hunted down each and every one of them---and while this was happening the dirty
cop hired a hit man to kill Driver. Driver was now the hunted by a professional
killer (Oliver Jackson Cohen) as he hunted for revenge---the killer hunted
Driver--- because he was paid to do so. The movie is filled with action, crime,
drama and is a thriller to say the least.
Dominic Toretto nickname Dom (Vin
Diesel) and Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) and their team’s last heist secured
their crew with 100 million--- each retired and settled across the globe.
Sadly--- they cannot return home because of their records and they know their lives are in
limbo. Although they are wealthy they cannot go home so they unhappy and feel incomplete.
In the meantime Hobbs (Dwayne
Johnson) has been on a mission of tracking a team of very dangerous and skilled
mercenary drivers. He has tracked them across 12 countries. He has been
unsuccessful in getting close enough to them to capture the team or at least
the brains of the outfit.
The mastermind is called Shaw (Luke
Evans) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguz) his merciless second in command. Everyone
thought Letty was dead---she was Dom's love.
The only way to put an end to
these mercenaries is to meet them on their level. In the street and run them
into the ground.
So Hobbs pays Dom a visit and
asked for his help and he shows him the picture he has as proof that Letty is alive and
well. Dom really does not know how to handle this information—he is
happy---hurt and confused.
So Dom calls his special team to
assemble in London to hear Hobbs out and then Don will tell him the team will only
do it for full pardons.
So the deal is set and the action
begins and the chase is on---nothing is held back it will be hit them hard and
fast before they can think. But I do not think it will be that easy. We will
see after the action starts.
A great movie with Tommy Lee Jones, and Ashley Judd, that is full of action-packed scenes that would keep even the critics glued to the screen. It all takes place in the Wealthy neighborhood of Whidbey Island with Ashley as Elizabeth (Libby) Parsons, and Bruce Greenwood as Nick Parson, her husband.
Because of being in debt Nick parson has a plan what will send his wife to prison and leave him free to do as he wishes. And his wish is to have Annabeth Gish as Ashley Green to look after Libby and Nick’s four-year-old sonMatty, while he wheels and deals making himself rich. All the while Libby is serving time in prison for something she did not do.
Libby made friends while incarcerated, and one of them was an attorney before she was disbarred and sent to prison for killing her husband; however, she told Libby when she got out, she could walk up to Nick in Time Square and shoot him; and not be arrested because you cannot be convicted twice for a crime—and it was called Double Jeopardy, a clause in the Fifth Amendment.
Finally, Libby is out on parole after seven years, and she starts looking for Matty, while trying to follow all the rules of Tommy Lee Jones as Parole Office Travis Lehman.
But she is strong willed and determined and takes Office Travis Lehman for a ride of his life.Libby was left alone in the car with her wrist in handcuffs--that did not stop her from trying to escape. She would die trying to see Matty.
Finally, she was face to face with the liar. Sweat broke out on Nick's forehead because he knew Hell was coming--and now it was standing in front of him in a beautiful expensive dress.
Nick thought Libby was no more since he thought he killed her and she would not be found for a very long time. He could continue his rich-guy-womanizing while he strutted around like a bit shot.
Nick got the upper hand after he shot Travis in the arm and then tried to kill Libby again for the second time. Travis rushed Nick---giving Libby time to get her gun and finally she shot Nick twice. At last the evil-liar was dead.
Travis and Libby drove to Matty's school and surprised him. Matty told his mother--They told me you were dead. Then mother and son hugged and held each other in a loving way. Travis watched and smile from his car--he felt that justice was now delivered in the love of the two he was watching.
This is a very good movie—I have watched my old video so many times—and I am planning to watch it more.
