Whispering Smith (1948)

-Alan Ladd, Robert Preston
Plot: IMDB

Legendary railroad detective Luke"Whispering" Smith becomes convinced that old friend and colleague Murray Sinclair(who happens to be married to Smith's Ex-Sweetheart) has joined a criminal band to loot the railroad.

Phantom's Review: This is a Great movie. Alan Ladd is perfectly cast as the hero. Robert Preston does a superb job as the happy go lucky friend who goes bad and Brenda Marshall as the woman who loves them both. Beautifully filmed in Technicolor. Solid action and story. Good supporting cast and direction. A classic for western fans

Horrible Bosses

Definitely lived up to my expectations, funny as hell. I wish more comedies were like this.

Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)



Though didn't expect the back story would turned out like this but it was pretty entertaining. Better than the PA2, liked it.

>>: B+

Shark Night (2011)



Not bad actually. Particularly liked the scene when a giant shark plucking a young guy off the Jet Ski! :D

>>: C+

The Debt (2010)



This is a well made decent espionage thriller (remake of a 2007 Israeli film of the same name) with a great cast but the problem is the main driving thing of the story isn't so much convincing; no agent can't live through all these years with such a lie from their respective agency, IMO.

>>: B

You should check out a Soderbergh film called The Limey, which stars Terrence Stamp, but it uses scenes from Poor Cow during flashback sequences. Plus, it's just a really good film.

"Warrior" 6/10

For a sports drama it was quite good and well acted. But for a martial arts movie it totally blew. Not a single hit or kick to remember.

Yea, not a big MMA fan.
