Wild Geese (1978)
There was a time in cinematic history when the only action heroes taken seriously were old crusty men who had legitimate world experience. A time when Charles Bronson a WWII Vet could kick ass even in his 60s, when Lee Marvin a sniper in WWII could lead a band of rag tag soldiers. Nowadays we [...]
Red Scorpion
Full disclosure. As a kid I loved Dolph Lundgren. I rented every one of his films from my local Mom & Pop video store. All I really remember was that most of them left me wondering why I loved him in the first place. Red Scorpion wasn’t one of those films. I rented it and [...]
Jug Face (2013)
Running Toxic Graveyard is pretty awesome. I get to update it when I feel like it with no boss breathing down my neck. I also get fantastic screeners. All in all it’s well worth the time. Jug Face, which recently premiered at Sundance, is also well worth your time. Jug Face is about a rural [...]
Tribesmen (2012)
I’ve been obsessed with funky horror flicks for most of my life. Sneaking them on tv while my parents were oblivious, renting them whenever i could and watching them in the theater. About 8 years ago I discovered the Video Nasties list. It’s a list of 74 films banned by the British Film Board in [...]
Hobo with a Shotgun (2011)
I liked it but I didn’t love it. I did write a full length review however. You can read it at Paracinema where I am now a contributor! Gore: High Nudity: mild Overall: 7/10
Killing Spree (1987)
Killing Spree is a film by Tim Ritter, director of the Truth Or Dare films. Honestly I’ve only seen the first in the series and it was pretty underwhelming. Considering he did it when he was 18, its pretty damn good but I wouldn’t watch it again. I love the retro 80′s film series from [...]
Salvage (2008)
Dystopic/anti-government films never get old for me. I love to see films that look into our near future and try to predict what our reactions to very real threats just might be. 28 days later, the Road Warrior, Carriers, they all try to show humanity as it falls apart and how some will pull together [...]
Encounter of the Spooky Kind (1980)
I love me some weirdo Hong Kong cinema. One of my favorite sub-genre’s is the hopping vampire sorcerer battle flick and Encounter of the Spooky Kind fits the bill. Written, directed, and starring Hong Kong legend Sammo Hung, Encounter of the Spooky Kind aka Spooky Encounter is about a brave man who’s wife is cheating [...]
Universal Soldier: Regeneration (2010)
I grew up watching super violent action flicks of the ’80s and early ’90s on t.v. with all the nudity cut out but the carnage intact. Saturday’s I spent watching movies like The Road Warrior, and Bloodsport, and of course the original Universal Soldier. Now before you roll your eyes at this latest installment. Let [...]
The Boxer’s Omen (1983)
As I’ve stated before, I love Shaw Brothers films. Its my go-to place for great kung fu. Towards the end of their run they tried to experiment with new styles to help bolster the company. Mainly they experimented with hororr martial arts films. Some were hit, some were misses. The Boxer’s Omen is a big [...]
