Grudge Match Review By: MattInRC The predictable and disappointing boxing dilemma Grudge Match leaves us down for the count. The boxing comedy Grudge Match wants to be a warm and upbeat exclamation point on the role of the elderly in today's 24-hour news cycle society, ready to thump their chests in defiance of any preconceived notions. But a movie must be good for that statement to hold water, and sadly this one isn't. The film features the washed up boxer Henry 'Razor' Sharp ( Sylvester Stallone ) who fought in two of the greatest boxing matches in history against Billy 'The Kid' McDonnen ( Robert DeNiro ). But that was in 1983, and when Sharp suddenly retires, McDonnen is denied a chance to break the tie and beat his nemesis. Fast forward to the present, where Sharp has just lost his job at a steel plant, when promoter Dante Slate, Jr. ( Kevin Hart ) approaches him to lend his voice to a video game. What Sharp doesn't know is that h

THIN ICE Movie Review By: RAMA Was RAMA caught out in the ice? Make sure to follow him on Facebook and Twitter . Great performances, average movie, that’s basically what you can take away from THIN ICE , which wants to be taken seriously as a Midwestern con flick with a bit of Coens’ Fargo feel to it but the way it reveals itself at the end is so abrupt and hasty, it jams itself down the audience’s throat and it doesn’t care whether or not the audience is fully prepared for it just yet. Interesting concept, a con film through the eyes of the marked man, but interesting at best is what this film would have to settle for… THIN ICE (an Official Selection of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival) is a dark comedy about a small time insurance agent ( Greg Kinnear ) looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife ( Lea Thompson ) and escape the frigid Wisconsin weather. This self-proclaimed master of spin believes that salesmanship is all about selling a s
