I liked The Equalizer. I liked it more than The Magnificent Seven, which director Antoine Fuqua and star Denzel Washington made after The Equalizer (and is out in theaters today, read our review, plug plug plug plug plug). The Equalizer, loosely based on the TV show of the same name, was a very confident and occasionally very amusing action thriller that was fully self-aware. It’s basically a perfect basic cable movie; you pop in, you watch Denzel beat a room full of guys without breaking a sweat, and then you brush your tweet and go to bed. And the ending, where it basically becomes Home Alone in a Home Depot (they should have called the movie Home Depot Alone, that was a missed opportunity) was tremendous.

After the huge success of Guardians of the Galaxy, newly-minted A-list star Chris Pratt had his pick of projects. He quickly signed on to star in another franchise, Jurassic World, which somehow made him an even bigger star. Then came a more curious choice: a remake of The Magnificent Seven...

The Oscar Awards are a couple of weeks away and if movie goers could vote on who'd win the Oscar in the category for best actor, it would definitely go to...

Because of Hurricane Sandy, for the first time in thirty years, David Letterman did the Late Show completely audience free last night (10/29).

Unstoppable hits DVD and Blu-Ray today. A train loaded with deadly chemicals is on a runaway tear towards a city in the thriller with Denzel Washington, Chris Pine (Star Trek) and Rosario Dawson -- more after the jump.
