Here are the reviews from today's show:
The Counselor is a frustratingly bad movie. The picture has some extraordinary talents involved but that makes its failure all the more disappointing. To say it is a train wreck is unfair because train wrecks are at least watchable.
Escape Plan plays like a direct-to-DVD feature that somehow finagled a theatrical release. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have been in plenty of bad movies but they may never have been in one as boring as Escape Plan.
Lock Up is a very well made prison film and it is one of Sylvester
Stallone’s better movies from the 1980s. It is recognizably an action picture
from that period in both good and bad ways but it is very entertaining and the
humanistic qualities of the picture make it stand out.
