#2 The Equalizer

This is currently one of my favorite action films.  Denzel Washington delivers as a stone faced badass that out thinks and out executes everyone he comes across.  From OCD to expert killing machine, Denzel completely knows and executes his role.  The amount of thinking the movie makes you do is perfect in my mind and has a good ratio of talking to fighting.  This movie also has its share of small comedic moments.

Rating: 8.5/10...love Denzel and his methodical ways of getting the job done in this one

#14 Vegas Vacation

I don't even know where to begin with this movie.  I love Chevy Chase, I love Las Vegas, and it's impossible to not think Cousin Eddie is hilarious.  The movie starts out hilariously as he runs over everything in sight on his way home with Vegas on his mind...can't blame him there!  If you've ever been to Vegas, you will appreciate Marty, the trash talking blackjack dealer too.  This movie was made perfectly and for everyone that's been to Vegas, it gives you a hilarious look at a Vegas trip gone wrong.  I love the whole series of the Vacation movies, but Vegas Vacation will always be my favorite.  I just home someday I can be half as lucky as Mr. Papagiorgio!

#16 Batman Begins

While I'm not a huge fan of superhero movies, Batman has always been the exception.  This is probably my least favorite movie of the Dark Knight trilogy, but it's still a very good movie and it's an important when it comes to setting up the plot.  Christian Bale and Liam Neeson team up to give us some really good action scenes and Scarecrow delivers as a great villain.  If it wasn't for Ledger's Joker character, Scarecrow would probably be my favorite Batman villain (Sorry Bane).  Overall, it is a fun movie with many good action scenes and it's a necessary movie if you want to understand the big picture when watching Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises. Rating: 6.8/10....Enjoyable movie.  I thought it was a little slow at points due to plot setup, but it's needed for the series so it didn't bother me too much.

#13 Death Race

Death Race was a middle of the road movie for me...no pun intended.  It pretty much met my expectations, which were pretty average, and never exceeded them.  When you simply think of the words "Death Race," you expect some sort of fast driving/flying and probably some sort of attacking other racers.  This movie really doesn't leave anything to the imagination and left me slightly entertained while also a little underwhelmed.  I wouldn't say that it's a bad move...just very predictable. Rating: 6.2/10...I like Jason Stathom so that helped it be a little more entertaining for me personally
