Street Kings (2008) Movie Review

Movies like “Street Kings” are sitting ducks in a shooting range for film critics who laugh all through the movie only to condemn it for being so damn entertaining. Most movies are so sedated by studio interference, creative indifference, or artless craft that when a movie comes along with style and a real no prisoners [...]

Prom Night Remake Slices and Dices the Box Office

I’m not surprised that “Prom Night” took the #1 spot at the box office over the weekend in its debut, but color he shock and awed that it took in a whopping $22.7 million. Even more surprising is just how badly the teen horror remake crushed Keanu Reeves’ cop thriller “Street Kings”, which despite its [...]

Weekend Throwdown: Street Kings Vs. Teen Spam

Keanu Reeves awkwardly attempts to tame the mean streets of Los Angeles with cop buddy Chris Evans, while young, nubile blondie Brittany Snow attempts to evade a knife-wielding maniac at her high school prom. Who has the harder job? I’m gonna have to go with Reeves, being that, if the trailers are any indication, he [...]

More Images from Street Kings

David Ayer’s gritty cop actioner “Street Kings” opens in six days this Friday, and it looks like a hell of a movie if you like the kind of film that has little room for heroes, and a whole lot of room for guys who are very kind of shade, including cold-blooded killers. “Street Kings” looks [...]

Red Band Trailer for Street Kings is Bloody Good Times

The more I see from David Ayer’s “Street Kings”, the more I think this will turn out to be a pretty good movie, if not as great as “Training Day” (also written by Ayer), then at least better than “Harsh Times”. Aside from leading man Keanu Reeves’ stilted dialogue delivery, the rest of “Street Kings” [...]

Movie Poster: Street Kings

If the filmmakers wanted to make a truly gritty L.A. crime film, they could have easily accomplished this by simply swapping Keanu Reeves with Chris Evans. Let’s face it, Keanu Reeves, thousands of hit films later, still cannot act to save his life, and Chris Evans, with a lot less movies under his belt, is [...]

Movie Trailer: Keanu Reeves’ Street Kings

Keanu Reeves does gritty. Whoa! Well, okay, that’s the premise of David Ayer’s latest L.A. cop saga, “Street Kings” (formerly known as “The Night Watchman”). Whether Keanu, who still sounds like he’s reading his lines phonetically to me, can pull it off is another matter. I’m gonna lean towards “Nah”, but then again, he could [...]

Keanu Reeves’ The Night Watchman is now Street Kings, Images

Scheduled to open April 11, 2008, the Keanu Reeves crime drama “The Night Watchman” has gotten a name change — “Street Kings”. Yeah, not exactly a great title; makes me think this is some kind of lame “Fast and the Furious” rip-off movie from Hong Kong or something. But you can see why they changed [...]

First Look at Keanu Reeves in The Night Watchman

Here’s your first look at Keanu Reeves in the police thriller “The Night Watchman”, which may or may not have been renamed to just “Night Watch”. (Not to be confused with the Russian sci-fi/horror movie of the same name, although I suspect “The Night Watchman” might get the nod because of that.) In the David [...]
