The Equalizer
Queen Latifah adds a tender humanness to what could have been a stereotypical character, Liza Lapira as the sure shot sniper, Melody, is sort of cute and bubbly for someone that is so deadly, and her genius hacker husband, Harry, played by Adam Goldberg adds a bit of sarcastic humor.
DetailsAll the movies are fun, with great fight scenes and a dark and brooding lead actor, some great supporting cast members and wonderful visuals.

DetailsBut, there is a certain simplicity to the shows I grew up on. These shows had a magic all their own, even though they were corny, with terrible special effects and laughable plotlines, they still helped mold me into the person I am today (I am definitely Corny).
DetailsThe character is one of the first masked Vigilantes with dual identities and is the precursor to our modern day superheroes.
DetailsThe Watch
The setting seems to be what you would get if a Renaissance Faire held a Punk Rock rave! There are hints of medieval times mixed with neon lights and spray painted graffiti.
DetailsWe Can Be Heroes
It can be difficult to review a movie where the intended audience is the pre-teen demographic and not being a pre-teen, I need to put myself in to the mind set of a 10 year old boy, to really give this film justice. Luckily, I never matured past 12, so it isn’t a big stretch!
