Premium Rush 2012
Would I have rather had Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon in some fantastic dramatic indie flick? Sure. But will I take them in a fast-paced 90-minute no frills action-thriller? Absolutely. Premium Rush is a fun little film that is sheer entertainment and nothing more. It's a tad silly at times, which hurt the film's overall credibility, but it never lessened my enjoyment of it. It's great to see JGL and especially Shannon ham it up over an hour-and-a-half, and Premium Rush is certainly a solid way to kill some time. Recommended.

Pain & Gain 2013
As much as I'd like to go with the movie snob approach to this review of Pain & Gain and rip apart Michael Bay, I totally can't. Truth is, outside of the Transformers sequels (I haven't seen the third; I'm just guessing) and Pearl Harbor (I haven't seen this since I was 16 in the theater), I've quite liked everything the Baymeister has done. But considering he hasn't made a film outside of the Transformers universe in eight years, I was…
