Review: BLOOD TIES Knots Up 1970s New York
To call Guillaume Canet's Blood Ties a love letter to the 1970s is a bit of an understatement. The Clive Owen, Billy Crudup brothers-on-opposite-sides-of-the-law drama absolutely oozes with 1970s nostalgia, from its impeccable costume and production design to its almost...

Clive. Jason. Gun. Explosion. Must Be A New KILLER ELITE Clip.
You know what pleases me about Gary McKendry's Killer Elite? All signs are that he understands what people want from an action film and - more importantly - doesn't confuse those desires for stupidity. He also, evidently, understands that people...
