Netflix Instant Theater: ‘Fire With Fire’

Written by Ashley Burns / 04.04.13

“This summer it’s… Bad Actor, White Lightning.”

Welcome to our new weekly feature, Netflix Instant Theater, in which Vince, myself and some very special guests will select a Netflix Instant movie to watch and review for you each week. Kind of like Awesome Movies on Netflix Instant, but sometimes not as awesome. This week, I’m kicking it off with a spectacular tale of action, love, revenge, racism and Bruce Willis being paid money to look old and mean in…

Fire With Fire (2012)

Starring: Josh Duhamel, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Vincent D’Onofrio, 50 Cent, Rampage Jackson, Vinnie Jones, and that guy from Nip/Tuck who played Dr. Doom in those awful Fantastic Four movies

The Basic Plot Summary: When firefighter Jeremy Coleman (Duhamel), who ain’t too hard on the eyes, witnesses the brutal murder of a gas station owner and his son, he is forced into the witness protection program so he can help take down the notorious Aryan gangster, Hagan (D’Onofrio), responsible for the kills. However, the law dogs underestimate the reach of Hagan and his crew, as they gun down Jeremy’s girlfriend, U.S. Deputy Marshal Talia (Dawson), so Jeremy purchases some guns from the Crips and vows to take Hagan down himself.

Your Mid-Week Guide To DVD And Streaming: The Amazing Spider-Man Is Not This Week’s Most Amazing New DVD

Written by Morton Salt / 11.06.12

The Amazing Spider-Man: This summer’s most popular superhero blockbuster for people who missed The Avengers and were too afraid of getting shot to go see The Dark Knight Rises.

If you were -justifiably- waiting for home video to check out The Amazing Spider-Man, well, this is your week.  If you’ve already seen it (or simply don’t want to) this is still your week.  Why?  Because there’s a truly amazing looking new documentary out called Dinotasia.  There’s also films starring Jude Law, Anthony Hopkins, Bruce Willis, Steven Seagal, and Wes Bentley.  There are films about red dogs, futuristic samurai, zombies and nazi zombies.  There’s even a found-footage flick that I actually enjoyed! All that and about a million Christmas movies starring dogs.  What more could you want?

The DVDs:
The Amazing Spider-Man
Arthur Christmas
Your Sister’s Sister
360
Fire With Fire
Maximum Conviction
Red Dog
Hirokin: The Last Samurai
Trishna
Dinotasia
[REC] 3: Genesis
The Pact
Outpost: Black Sun
The Legends Of Nethiah
Supernatural Activity
Nipples & Palm Trees

Streaming: Check out your choices here.

Want to know what Dinotasia‘s all about? Continue reading.  Want to know which found-footage movie is actually worth your time? Continue reading.  Want to know which film has a samuari?  It’s Hirokin: The Last Samuari.  That one’s a freebee, but you’re going to have to continue reading if you want to know who plays Hirokin. Of course if you hate Wes Bentley you can always skip the DVDs and click here for the Netflix suggestions.  Damn it, I think I did that wrong.  Oh well. Read the rest of this entry »
