By: John M Jerva This week on The War Room over at The Action Elite, Eoin along with J-Man and Stephen discuss one of the curious entries in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s filmography.

By: Eoin Friel Summary No Time to Die is going to be the most divisive Bond film of all time and I think many fans (like myself) will hate what they did with it. It has a few decent set-pieces but lacks the sense of fun that past entries had and I have no desire to ever watch it again. 2 Out of 5 Stars … Continue reading Review: NO TIME TO DIE has a Few Decent Set Pieces but Lacks Fun
By: Eoin Friel Summary Venom: Let There Be Carnage isn’t a great movie by any stretch of the imagination but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a blast with it; there were some nice moments of humour as well as horror and action making for a fun (and short) escape from reality. 3 Out Of 5 Stars Silly but harmless fun Plot: … Continue reading Review: VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE is a Fun and Short Escape from Reality

EXTERMINATOR 2
By: John M Jerva When one talks about action stars of today, one name that has to absolutely come up is Gerard Butler.

By: John M Jerva During the 80’s and 90’s and even beyond, Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of the most unstoppable stars in action cinema. From films like Conan The Barbarian to the body count epic Commando, Arnie was a force to be reckon with and each entry was more over the top then the one before it. There is one film that sums up just … Continue reading The Action Elite Live- The War Room: Discussing the Greatness of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Sci-Fi Action Epic TOTAL RECALL
By: John M Jerva Love him or hate him (and God help me do I love a Steven Seagal flick, good or bad) there’s no denying that the Aikido master has had an influential effect on the action genre.

By: Eoin Friel Summary Free Guy may be The Truman Show for the Fortnite crowd but I was surprised how enjoyable it was with Ryan Reynolds his usual self but it works perfectly for this movie and he makes Guy an immediately appealing protagonist. There is plenty of action with explosions, chases and even some fights so if you’re looking for some bright escapism from … Continue reading Review: FREE GUY (2021)
