"Bullet to the Head"
Directed by: Walter Hill Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Sung Kang, Jason Momoa, Christian Slater Rating: R Runtime: 91 min. “Bullet to the Head,” based on the crime noir graphic novel “Du Plomb Dans La Tete,” is certainly graphic but offers nothing novel. The stereotypical action flick follows hitman Jimmy Bobo (Sylvester Stallone) and self–righteous Detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) as they join forces to stop a conspiracy involving greedy businessmen, corrupt cops and other action movie cliches. The plot and characters are just tools to engineer more reasons for shooting, but even that leaves something to be desired.

"Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" Directed by: Tommy Wirkola Starring: Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton Rating: R Running Time: 88 minutes Once upon a time (read: 2004), Universal Studios brought the nostalgia of horror icons into the action/adventure genre and created “Van Helsing,” a film that performed well in the box office but not with the critics.
