Since the ‘Expendables 2’ is coming out next month I thought it would be fun to do ‘the best of’ for the three biggest action stars, done Schwarzenegger a while ago and will link that below, a couple of weeks ago I did Willis’s best films and now I am doing Stallone’s best films and worst because I am not a huge fan of his. Just to point out that Stallone is a terrible actor and this list is so small that I am even including two of his films that I don’t like because it’s relevant to another release (Dredd). I haven’t actually watched a great deal of his films but apparently everything that isn’t part one of the series below is awful (well three other films that are apparently good but I haven’t seen them), cant verify that but I don’t particular like his work so I won’t be paying to see his worst (worst list not going to happen just this post).

Flags of Our Fathers & Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) Review
Posted: August 10, 2012 in Action, Best of Films, Bulk Review, DramaTags: 1945, Academy Award, Action, Adam Beach, Battle Of Iwo Jima, Clint Eastwood, Combat, favourite scene, Flags of Our Fathers & Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) Review, Flags of Our Fathers (2006), Flags of Our Fathers Review, General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, Invasion, Japanese, Jesse Bradford, Ken Watanabe, Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) Review, Military, Review, Ryan Phillipe, USA, WW2 warfare tactics
It’s a double review, not going to do this very often and I am only doing it for these two because they are made as a companion to each other. Both of these films show a very realistic portrayal of the battle of Iwo Jima and deserve great praise for acting and visuals when considering the relatively low budget of the two films. In saying that I find Letters from Iwo Jima better to watch and I also view it as a much better film in general.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) Review
Posted: June 15, 2012 in Action, Best of Films, Comedy, ThrillerTags: Action, all star cast, Blake Howard, Blu-ray, Combat, Comedy, Competition, criminal mastermind, Crown Prince of Austria, Eddie Marsan, entertainment, Evil, film, Games, Inspector Lestrade, Jared Harris, Jude Law, Military, Noomi Rapace, Professor Moriarty, renowned detective, Review, Robert Downey Jr., Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011), special effects, Stephen Fry, stunning visuals
The film is exactly what you expect, if you like this type of film then sure it’s a good, fun and smartly created mystery action film. But if you don’t like this type of film (Sherlock Holmes (2009) for example) then you should give it a miss. I am the first person because I actually like this type, it’s just fun to watch and as long as I enjoy the experience there’s nothing else it really needs to do.
