Although, he could be Creed's Mickey, I guess...
He did that already for Tommy Morrison 23 years ago...

Yes...but there is more of a ...connection and history with the Creed family..potentially.  There wasn't the history with that Morrison guy was there?
Tying back into things from the first few movies by bring back a member of the Creed family - possible a few of them if the grandson's dad is around - could end up being interesting..if it is handled properly. 

I saw that Arnold is listed as being in the new Terminator movie too.  I saw a suggestion that he would be a scientist that works on the terminators... that could maybe work.  But Arnold as a Terminator would be stretching things a bit.  Unless they started with a model that aged and got arthritis and heart problems etc.  ;)

My Review:
Well, going in to this one i didnt have any expactations really. Remembering that i didnt enjoyed the first 12 Rounds starring John Cena. And some of the other movies i've seen from WWE Studios hasnt been the greatest one all the time. But this one was actually ok. The story was ordinary. The typical story about a maniac wanting revange. And you see both Randy Orton and the other cast really tries. And for a low budget movie and for Randy's first time as an actor. I think they did an ok job with this one. And the extras are great too in this one. Its recommanded if you find it for a cheap penny.

My Review:
Going in to this one i didnt know what to expect. I havent seen many Monroe movies in the past. But what i've seen i've really enjoyed. And this one was allright aswell. A lighthearted comedy with a mix of some great music and song. I guess its too much music\singing in this one for Pete's taste ;)  But it was a fun and warm movie that its recommanded to check out if you like Marilyn Monroe. And the bluray had great picture and sound too.

So when local nurse Julia (Jessica Biel - Total Recall, The A-Team), wakes one night to find her son David's bed empty, all her worst fears are realised. Is the dark figure she sees escaping with David really The Tall Man? If so, who is he and where does he take the children? And why do some of the town folk seem to know more than they are prepared to say...

Also starring William B. Davis (The X-Files) and directed by Pascal Laugier (Martyrs), The Tall Man is packed with plot twists and nail-biting tension, blurring the boundaries between horror and thriller like never before.

My Review:
Well, i watched this a few days ago i think it was. But i've fallen a bit behind on my reviews on some movies. And i was looking forward to this one actually. It was a long time since i've seen Jessica Biel in anything and was interested to see how she was. And it was actually a allright horrorflick. With some good moments trough out the movie a interesting story. And i have to be honest it isnt the worst i've seen from Jessica Biel. And somehow they make it work. I would recommand it for a cheap penny.

My Review:
This movie was actually much better then i remembered it to be. The story in the movie is ofc well known. The story about the 'crazy' mom and the missing child. But things isnt exactly how it looks at times. They did a great job with keeping the suspence and action trough out the movie. And Jodie Foster did a great job as the lead. Great acting by her (again and as always) Just a great movie trough and trough. For me this is highly recommanded.

My Review:
I remember watching this on tv ages ago, and wanting to check it out again ever since. And i have had the movie in my unwatched pile for ever and now i finally got around to check it out again. And what a great action thriller this is! Non stop action from start to finish. Not a dull moment really mixed with some cool twists and suspence. And i just have to say that both Mr. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones did just an amazing job in this one? Amazing! And in this bluray set you get some cool extras aswell. This movie is highly recommanded to check out!

My Review:
Well, this movie is one of the reasons why sequals shouldnt be made sometimes. The movie was boring and the scare moments wasnt even there IMHO. This was just a poor effort to make some money of the series. I enjoyed the first movie, but with this one they just failed just about everywhere. Its not recommanded!

My Review:
This movie i havent seen before, just seen the thrailer of it and that looked real good. And the movie is a decent one with a interesting plot. And i like what they have done with this actually. A great thriller with a good mix of suspence.  And Harrison Ford was a class act in this aswell. This a good thriller about a innocent lawyer that is being framed but the whole case\story gets a cool twist. A good movie that i recommand you guys to check out for a cheap penny.

My Review:
Well, i bought this as a blind buy not long ago. Didnt know anything about it, or watched any thrailers before i watched it. And to be honest i dont have alot to say about this one. The movie had a boring and pointless story, the acting wasnt good. And the movie was just boring (for me) from start to end. I cant recommand this one to anyone. Just truly bad.

So, that was interesting. I've seen the thrailer for this movie before and it looked like a good one. And just a few days ago my brother told me i should check it out, since he enjoyed it. And today i finally did. And the movie was allright. A bit different then i thought it would be, but they made it work. Actually a cool spy thriller. This is a movie you should check out for a cheap penny IMHO, and on this blu-ray set you got some real cool extras aswell! Always a bonus.
