Not much Clear and Present Danger here. Tom Clancy’s literature CIA analyst character Jack Ryan has been able to transition himself into movies. Alec Baldwin played him in “The Hunt for Red […]
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War
In the Grey
Too grey to be a Guy Ritchie hit. Guy Ritchie’s latest crime caper “In the Grey” is a real missed opportunity that looks and acts stylish, but spends too much time on […]

Apex
A better Netflix thriller than you may realize. I’m not surprised that the generic shark thriller “Thrash” would make it to Number 1 most streaming movie chart on Netflix a few weeks […]
