For a man basing his presidential hopes on a jobs-and-economy message, Mitt Romney has spent an inordinate amount of time on other issues, from abortion to the federal Medicare program to bad weather.

Michael Shannon plays a villain with “impulse-control issues” in the bike-courier thriller “Premium Rush.” Shannon fans will salivate at the thought of that. Nobody can turn on the “impulse-control” scary like Michael Shannon.

Every blow 'em up movie fan should be ready to be even more “exciterbated” by the entourage of even more outdated action heroes in “The Expendables 2.” The group of soldiers-for-hire is led by Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), who takes charge of another mission devised by spy boss Church (Bruce Willis).
