Jack the Giant Slayer
No blood. No guts. Plenty of slaying. Very family-friendly, but somehow still a decent action movie. 3 out of 5 action rating.

Jonah Hex
Skip it - My undying love for westerns made my heart leap at the prospect of a cowboy super hero. Turns out this is pretty much “Ghost Rider” with a horse instead of a motorcycle. Unfortunately, it’s also eerily similar to “Ghost Rider” in overall quality and general “unmemorableness.” I got the feeling this was a desperate attempt of DC comics to keep up with Marvel. Some scenes are imaginative, such as Gatling guns attached to a horse’s saddle, or pistols rigged to shoot sticks of dynamite. If you’re watching it just for Megan Fox, then you probably won’t be disappointed. But you will be if you’re expecting a good super hero movie, or even a good western. 3.5 action rating

This is a heart-warming western, but the plot has been recycled so often that you’ve probably seen it a dozen times. A mysterious man joins up with a ranch and impresses everyone with his cowboy skills. He quickly works his way up the ranks and wins the trust of the boss. But the man who wants to be foreman gets jealous and tries to turn the boss against him. That’s it in a nutshell. This western does feature a great cast including Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, and Rod Steiger. But if a plot is unoriginal, you need more than a great cast. You need action - and on that front, this movie does not deliver. There’s only one significant gunfight to speak of. Most of the movie feels like a soap opera. 1 action rating
