My review of ‘The Expendables’:

A cross between ‘The Dogs of War’, ‘Rambo 4’, ‘Commando’ and ‘Predator’.

Entertaining, but not as good as I thought it would be. Plenty of lead and blood. I give it a solid B - worth seeing, especially with the dearth of watchable films released so far in 2010.

I though Eric Roberts as the baddie was the best character in the film. Mickey Rourke was good too (as usual).

Thanks for the take. We’ve seen three of the four you’ve mentioned, and liked ‘em all.

We just watched The Magnificent Seven. One of our favorite westerns, and an action film w/out the feminized fighters. Thankfully, no shaky cam.

I was waiting for Freeper reviews of this movie to see it as they've never done me wrong before.

Here's something that may be worth a look since there are a few Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans here. Thursday, August 19 they take on the cult classic “Reefer Madness” in theaters. It looks like a limited release.

The last roll I saw Mickey Rourke play, it looked like he could eat Eric Roberts for breakfast and then start on pancakes. I’m surprised he doesn’t have his own series of “Chuck Norris” style jokes.
