Paige just had the last five years of her life wiped out and that is inherently more fascinating than a man who wants to win back his wife. The fear, the confusion, the distrust that Paige experiences on a daily basis is a superior story to one man's quest to prove his love.]]> http://calitreview.com/23824/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/23820 http://calitreview.com/23820#comments Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:35:43 +0000 Matthew Newlin http://calitreview.com/?p=23820 Safe House is the latest CIA shoot ‘em up to come out of Hollywood and although it falls back on very generic action pic conventions, it still manages to fit in a few exciting moments in an overall decent movie. ]]> http://calitreview.com/23820/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/23714 http://calitreview.com/23714#comments Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:35:38 +0000 Matthew Newlin http://calitreview.com/?p=23714 The Bourne Identity.

It’s got a solid storyline and strong acting. But it’s mostly a lavishly staged ballet of bullets and blood. Guns blaze in slow motion. Bodies fly through the air. This is high-octane violence in a way that makes your typical Sly Stallone or Steven Seagal fare look like Mary Poppins.]]> http://calitreview.com/22669/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/23674 http://calitreview.com/23674#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:03:02 +0000 Holly Hunt http://calitreview.com/?p=23674 http://calitreview.com/23674/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/23682 http://calitreview.com/23682#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:28:05 +0000 Brett Harrison Davinger http://calitreview.com/?p=23682 http://calitreview.com/23682/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/23663 http://calitreview.com/23663#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:26:21 +0000 Marla Wick http://calitreview.com/?p=23663 http://calitreview.com/23663/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/23630 http://calitreview.com/23630#comments Sat, 04 Feb 2012 18:14:42 +0000 Adam Robert Thomas http://calitreview.com/?p=23630 Chronicle.
