Here we go:
Punisher: War Zone (2008)
Director: Lexi Alexander
Wow! Rock Hard, bloody brutal a la Garth Ennis (this recalls Punisher Max series that is both dark and extremely violent).
There was a sequence in the beginning that led me to become a concern (in my 'world' Punisher is not hanging upside down from a crystal chandelier and shoot down enemies, this scene appears in all the trailers and teasers so there is no direct spoiler I hope) but my concern dispersed quickly. This film is really good, violent Vigilante action at its best. Director Lexi Alexander has also seasoned movie with a lot of gore, which somewhat brings to mind Rambo (2008).
Despite my misgivings, I really appreciated Thomas Jane's depiction of the Punisher (2004), so is Ray Stevenson really excellent as Frank Castle.
I was a little dubious about the character Jigsaw (played by Dominic West) but he fit perfectly into the movie.

Underworld: Evolution (2006)
Director: Len Wiseman
So I finally took the time to look at this film, it stood at the shelf a long time. I was somewhat surprised to find that it gives a nice moments of entertainment, beautiful photo, ok acting, etc.
And Kate Beckinsale is really a delight for the eye (where the black suit is ..... mmmmm ...)
Eight out of ten apples possible
Rogue Assassin (2007)
Director: Philip G. Atwell
Another film that stood o collecting dust in the shelf, but now I gave it the time.
Stable action with some unexpected twists and turns, Jason Statham and Jet Li delivers solid, I thought that we would see more fighting between them.
Eight out of ten apples possible
The Island (2005)
Director: Michael Bay
A surprisingly good sci fi / action film with interesting action and good actor. Among the actors we find Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Sean Bean and Steve Buscemi etc.
Eight out of ten apples possible.
Return to Sleep Away Camp (2008)
Director: Robert Hiltzik
The original movie is really good but this movie is honestly right of shoddily with annoying characters, bad effects, etc..
It is so bad that the movie almost becomes good ...
An apple out of ten possible
Acts of Death (2007)
Director: Jeff Burton
Another Slasher film.
Have had this in the collection in a couple of years but now I got to me that I would see it and it was a very pleasant surprise. The film may be an indie film (with a lower budget, etc.) but the script, actress, directing, etc is fully ok by me. Was actually a little surprised that it was so good.
Eight out of ten apples possible
Drive Through (2007)
Director: Brendan Cowles and Shane Kuhn
Another Slasher Film. This is pretty good if we as viewers do not take it for very seriously. There is a large dose of humor.
The film contains som graphic murders and some cute girls.
Six out of ten apples possible
