Fortress: Sniper's Eye starring Jesse Metcalf, Bruce Willis and Chad Michael Murray





This is # 2 in a series of the movie Fortress.

Robert Carter Michaels (Bruce Willis) is a retired CIA agent. He and his son Paul (Jesse Metcalfe) live in a private section in the Appalachian Mountains. Father and son are trying to bond working on their relationship after the previous experience in the first movie the Fortress.

Life seems to be working out for them as they enjoy running a family bed and breakfast. Paul's wife Melissa did not return from running errands. Naturally Paul would be worried because she is pregnant with their first child. Yes, he is a little over protected. 

When Robert becomes worried their worst fear becomes true--Melissa has been abducted. What happens next you will find out as I will when the movies premieres April 29, 2022, is the release date

Extraction (2015) Starring Bruce Willis, Kellan Lutz and Gina Carano

In 2005 a group of Russian terrorist kidnapped an undercover CIA operative Leonard Turner (Bruce Willis) and help him captive while interrogating him. Leonard did not appear as if he had the skills to free himself--however his training went way beyond the most trained operatives.

When Leonard was given a pen to sign some papers--he signed and then stabbed him in the neck and took out the rest of the crew. He then called his CIA friend to get to his house and protect his wife and son.





Ten years later in the cemetery Leonard and his son are visiting the grave of his wife and his son Harry's (Kellan Lutz) mother. Harry feels his father is holding ill feelings towards him, because as a kid the day his mother was killed by a Russian terrorist--his father told him to get the gun out of the bedroom and hide. Harry hid and the Russian found him. The CIA friend took the Russian out and Harry just a kid did not fire a shot.

Leonard did not hold that against Harry--he was proud of his well trained son. Like father, like son when it came to fighting skills no one could touch them.

This is a great action movie and I enjoyed Victoria (Gina Carano) who was a field agent assigned to recover The Condor while keeping Harry out of the loop. This is an action pack with bits of flirtation thrown in for the passion of the movie.


Grab your popcorn and drizzle it with chocolate giving your taste buds a treat of salty and sweet. I give this action film a 5 Star Plus rating.

Kill the Messenger with Jeremy Renner, Michael Sheen and Mary Elizabeth Winstead---Premiere October 10th 2014



A movie based on a true story of the life of an American; Gary Webb, a Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist whose investigation of the men and the government responsible for the crack cocaine epidemic that spread through our nation. 

This is his account of what happened as much as a movie can depict a man’s search for the truth when he is no longer alive; to verify how closely the movie is to the truth. 

Kill the Messenger adapted from his book: Dark Alliance.

Gary Webb (Jeremy Renner) an investigative reporter for the San Jose Mercury News searched for the truth and found it. 

It begins with the CIA backing the Nicaraguan Contras; allowing their smuggled cocaine into the United States then given to certain gangs that processed and sold it as crack cocaine to the south central area streets of Los Angeles in the 1980s. 

Then, the Contras received the profits for their fight against reconstruction of their government in Nicaragua.


Allegations increased that the US Government along with other agencies are responsible for the epidemic of crack cocaine that explored through the black communities of our nation.


Gary told his friend Fred Weil (Michael Sheen) his story was a true story that needed telling. And, Michael replied: Some stories are just too true to tell. Michael also told him it was dangerous.

When asked by Ronnie Quail (Robert Patrick): You believe in conspiracy theories Gary? 

Gary said I believe in conspiracy yes, there’s no theory about it. Many were too afraid to believe his story because then people did not view their opinions openly as they do today.
                                                                                                   

I will be happy when this movie premieres on October 10th, 2014 I will be in line to see it. Always remember to research both sides of any story---because truth can sometimes read like fiction.
