The best Christian Bale film you've never seen: 'The Flowers of War'
'The Flowers of War' is one of the most powerful war movies ever made and it stars Christian Bale. So how come nobody went to see it? Check out the trailer and look for it on DVD: http://youtu.be/xor4tfTEwPA

Do Not Watch 'The Watch' Under Any Circumstance
Ben Stiller has been making some awful movies of late and nothing is worse than 'The Watch' - a "comedy" that tanked at the box office last July but is dong well on DVD/Blu-ray. Nothing can save this stinker, not even Vince Vaugh and Jonah Hill. Take my advice and avoid this clunker. I did not laugh once and considered shutting off the DVD twice to see what was on C-SPAN. That's how bad this movie is.

Movies Worth A Second Look: 'Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World'
This dark comedy by writer/director Lorena Scafaria closed in less than two weeks at the box office in June 2012, earning around $7 million despite big-name talents in Steve Carell and Keira Knightley heading a superb cast. Blame it on a bad marketing campaign or releasing the film at the worng time. But this Carell's best work. Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments alternating with scenes that will make a grown-man cry. It was one of the best films of 2012 and you must find it on on DVD/Blu-ray.

Movies Worth A Second Look: 'Lockout'
Why this film failed at the box office is a mystery. It is one of the best action films I've ever seen, and I've seen them all. Guy Pearce is fantastic in the lead role of a mercenary sent on a suicide mission to save the president's daughter, who somehow gets herself trapped inside a maximum security prison floating above the earth. This film takes place in the future if you haven't guessed. The chemistry between Pearce and Maggie Grace (the daughter in "Taken") is fantastic. Lots of great action, some of the funniest lines you've ever heard in an action film and twist ending that nobody sees coming.

Movies Worth A Second Look: 'Machine Gun Preacher'
This film received terrific reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival, but could not get a major studio to release it. It died a quick death at the box office in very limited release in September 2011, but this is a powerful story and Gerard Butler ("300") gives a terrific performance based on a true-life story about a Pennsylvania pastor who wants to build an orphanage in war-torn Sudan. When local militias try to stop him, the preacher pulls out his machine gun and does battle with them. That's an oversimplification of a well-acted, well-written film that more people should see.
