Phillip Noyce Walks Away From Hunter Killer
Say what you will but Phillip Noyce knows how to make a damned good spy flick. He’s been at it for decades now, directing some great ones including CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER and the underrated CATCH A FIRE. He also directed a damned great adaptation of Graham Greene’s masterpiece THE QUIET AMERICA. And of course, [...]
Sony Pictures Wants To Add More Salt To Your Diet
I wasn’t crazy about SALT last summer. It held my attention for ¾ of the movie and had some fantastic action stunts, but it just ran out of gas towards the end and became all about the double-crosses and twists like any other spy movie, wasting the potential it had at the start. I don’t [...]
Jon Doe Digs Himself Deeper With The Worst Movies of 2010

The Kidd Vs. Salt
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD I really didn’t know what to expect from SALT going into my screening of the film. The promotional materials leading into the movie really didn’t do much for me, but I was hopeful that a spy thriller fronted by Angelina Jolie could deliver the goods better than most of the convoluted spy [...]

The Kidd loves himself a good spy movie. It’s right up there with a good Western, a good action movie, a good horror movie… okay, as you can tell, I love good movies period. But a good spy movie is hard to pull off. You can run the risk of being too confusing or being [...]
