In 60 Seconds: The Wolverine! 2 Guns! Smurfs 2! More!

Deacon Steven D. Greydanus Blogs

Tonight on “Reel Faith” David and I review The Wolverine, 2 Guns, and Smurfs 2 (and I catch up with The Heat). Tune in tonight at 8pm EDT (watch NET live). You can also see last week’s episode at our website.

If you enjoy the 60s below, please do me a favor and like us on Facebook! Thanks.

The Wolverine (SDG)

He’s the best there is as what he does, but what he does isn’t very nice. In a summer of overcooked Big Macs, Hugh Jackman’s latest is a gingery palate cleanser.

2 Guns (SDG)

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg are two great tastes that taste great together. So why did this film leave a sour taste in my mouth?

Smurfs 2 (DD)

David says the sequel is an upgrade on the original. Is that enough?

R.I.P.D. (DD)

If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who do they call in the afterlife? Apparently, the R.I.P.D.

Red 2 (DD)

This sure is an amazing cast.
