Sammo’s third Lucky Stars movie is easily the weakest. There’s not much action, most of which is saved for the end. Though we do get an awesome brutal fight with Jackie, Yuen Biao and Andy Lau going a...

With some great action in this, especially the finale which is so underrated. The film entirely bogged down by either the comedy not translating well or outdated. So it ends up being a wholly unfunny ...

Winners and Sinners on rewatch is a tremendous action comedy. Some of the comedy is outdated, but unlike the two sequels it’s not as rapey. Well there is some of it, but not scenes that make the film ...

Usually when I watch beloved films or so filled “cult classics” I’m usually let down. That is not the case with John Carpenter’s stone cold sci-fi/horror/action classic. Roddy Piper was a perfect choi...

Appreciate that Dolph shared his struggles and his battle with cancer. That’s the main through line with the doc. With cuts back to his upbringing and how he got into the film business. It never fully...

Hoppy, Johnny and Windy are back. This time they’re leading a cattle drive, when some rival ranchers go undercover and try to sabotage and stop their cattle drive. This is definitely one of the better...

Chang Cheh’s The Nine Demons is a mixed bag. When the action and martial arts hits it’s that classic Shaw Brothers feel. Even if this isn’t a Shaw production. All the magic and mystical stuff is just ...

This horror comedy has its moments. Like a very fun final showdown where our three screwups fight an evil ghost. When all three of the leads are getting into hijinks together. It’s also fun to see Fu ...

Demon of the Lute is not what I was expecting at all. It’s more a wuxia, comedy fantasy film than a horror movie. It’s a fun rollicking score, at times a badass rock n roll one. Its stars all have mom...

Portrait in Crystal is just Shaw Brothers at peak absolute nonsense. There is a vague plot here, but it’s full of such fun and interesting characters, even if they’re introduced a mile a minute, and f...

This Shaw Brothers horror flick is a little slow to get going. But once the black magic kicks in it’s a wild and very entertaining ride. Phillip Ko plays a taxi driver whose wife begins an affair with...

I heard about this story, I heard about the 90s movie starring Ethan Hawke. It wasn’t until today when I was listening to The Last Podcast on the Left series on this tragic disaster, that I found out ...

Lau Kar-Leung’s modern day set action comedy does serve up some laughs, but does lack in the action department. There’s some good fight scenes, but nothing that comes close to his best. There’s story ...

The Bargain is William S. Hart’s first starring role, and I can see why it made him a star. The story is one you seen before, especially in these silent westerns. But what sets this one apart is the m...

Firstly I got to applaud and commend James Nunn, the crews and Scott Adkins of all three of the One Shot movies. They truly made one of the most underrated action franchise ever. Shooting them all as ...

Just really impressed by Waleed Elgadi in these two One Shot movies. The man is just acting his ass off in both. Action is better in this than the first, it’s a little bigger. Few little gripes on rew...

An important movie for me, but that doesn’t sway what I think about this tremendous low budget action flick. It uses its limited budget to full effect with the one continuous shot gimmick. It isn’t no...

On par with O’Donnell’s first film, Beyond Skyline. Narratively it’s it more straightforward and while being about 10 minutes longer than the previous film, it moves a lot quicker. Lindsay Morgan is a...

This had been on my watchlist for a while. Being big fan of both Grillo and Iko Uwais for years now. Argus takes what Skyline did and badassed it up. It’s bigger, it travels the world. We see more ali...

Skyline is a nice low budget alien invasion flick. The characters are thin, the story is simple. What carries is the visuals on screen. Using basically all its budget on the practical and visual effec...

Everyone’s favorite gambling, karate chopping, horny priest is back. This time they take what made Tomisaburō Wakayama’s other iconic character from Lone Wolf and Cub carrying the kid around to this o...

An intriguing if at times a little too plodding tale of a degenerate priest. Most of the movie is just the priest gambling, talking shit and being horny. Thrown in a young couple subplot, a gaggle of ...

I hadn’t watched this since I saw it in theaters. I remember walking out with my dad who really enjoyed it, thinking “man that was really racist.” Well I still think the same, on that. It’s unfortunat...

What was going through Stallone’s head that he had to make this kind of political statement about the atrocities in Myanmar (at the time Burma). This is one mean, nasty and brutal film. The massacre i...

Even at an hour and forty minutes this is a complete slog. With a second unit/action director behind camera even the action is a let down compared to the 2nd film. Just all feels half baked. Love the ...

Big loud 80s machismo and exceptionalism at its loudest. Taking Rambo haunted by his past in Vietnam, comes back to Vietnam to save some POWs. Of course there are some American cronies lying about wha...

Never fails to not be a thrilling movie. Kotcheff’s best and my personal favorite Stallone character. Rocky may be his, but I felt John Rambo was his way of letting things out. So it was always this r...

David Lean’s Summertime is a very nice trip to Venice without actually going to Venice. Hepburn is wonderful in the role and Rossano Brazzi is very charming as the male lead. It’s a nice lovely romanc...

Chang Cheh’s blistering and fight filled Heroes Two is just what you want from Cheh, Fu Sheng and Kuan-Tai. Manchu’s are taking over and wiping out Shaolin schools. Chen Kuan-Tai’s Hung is on the run....

Budd Boetticher takes the style of filmmaking he would use in the coming years for his westerns into this adventure film. It’s basically two partners going for one last score, instead of robbing a ban...

A movie that is just as frustrating as the material the film is covering. Much like the Alien and UFO phenomenon, this film doesn’t answer anything and just leaves you asking more questions. It feels ...

In typical Ken Burns fashion this is a very well done documentary that is deliberately paced. Having read Stephen Ambrose’s Undaunted Courage, this just felt like a visual version of the book. Even wi...

A rock solid oater starring Audie Murphy and Walter Brennan. They play father and son, Murphy in the beginning is bigoted towards the Ute people and native Americans after one killed his mom. Brennan ...
