August 15, 2009I was expecting "Black Dog" to just be an average action movie, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Jack Crews (Patrick Swayze) has an assignment to deliver some illegal goods, but he don't know it at first. He has some riders to keep him company on the way, one of which is Earl... read more

July 23, 2009Director Kevin Hooks' movie is a cheesy but sort of fun action flick that could have been better but also could have been worse.

November 28, 2009Um... no. The plot is almost as lame as Meatloaf slandering Scripture. Fortunately, many truck crashes cover a multitude of sins.
