Its franchise season over at Lionsgate. With new entries in the Saw, Expendables and Hunger Games series all delivering new entries this fall. For The Expendables, we have landed at number 4. The film quickly went to digital purchase/rental after underwhelming at the box office. And now, its here on 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray not too […]
Monster Hunter quietly appeared in homes just before the new year. With the pandemic seemingly never ending, viewers got a little escape into a not-so-distant future with a fun and escapist fantasy action film. Does the film stand up to others in its field. Do Paul W.S. Anderson and his wife and muse Milla Jovavich […]
Behind our world, there is another: a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly ferocity. When an unexpected sandstorm transports Captain Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her unit (T.I. Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta) to a new world, the soldiers are shocked to discover that this hostile and unknown environment is […]
While I have been completely disgusted by what has been transpiring with the divided American public this year (rioting, violence, demonstrations, destruction, etc) since the Presidential Inauguration there’s no doubt about it, the women very much have the power in xXx: Return of Xander Cage. Feminists and enemies of President Trump cannot argue that. Without […]
That’s right. I said it. While I have been completely disgusted by what has been transpiring with the American public these past couple days (rioting, violence, destruction) since the Inauguration there’s no doubt about it, the women very much have the power in XXX: Return of Xander Cage. Feminists cannot argue that. Without the many […]
There is a point in xXx: Return of Xander Cage where Vin Diesel starts wearing a giant fur coat, as if to suggest this 49-year old skater/adrenaline junkie/tattoo harvester/former spy was not cool enough for audiences already. The coat is not a huge part of the film (and thinking about it now, I’m curious if […]
Furious 7 is the little engine that could in my opinion. Not even the untimely and tragic death of one of the franchise’s main stars, Paul Walker, was able to completely derail this speeding train from moving forward and becoming an unstoppable global phenomenon grossing over $1.5 billion dollars worldwide at the box office. Make no […]
Furious 7…you know…that little film that made over 1.5 billion dollars already worldwide. The box office blockbuster brings the franchise to all new gravity-defying heights (literally) in the biggest, most heartfelt (with the film’s touching tribute to the late Paul Walker, taken from this world way too young) and action packed ride yet. And best […]
Furious 7 is the little engine that could in my opinion. Not even the untimely and tragic death of one of the franchise’s main stars, Paul Walker, was able to completely derail this speeding train from moving forward. Make no doubt about it. The Fast and the Furious franchise has been quite the global exploit […]
Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas […]
It should be no surprise that Furious 7 is one of my most anticipated films of the year. All the main players return and the cast gets all the added value in the world in the way of Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Djimon Hounsou, and Tony Jaa, among others. Now under James Wan’s direction, the action […]
There is certainly a lot of interest coming with the next installment in the Fast & Furious franchise. The unfortunate passing of Paul Walker is part of the curiosity for many, in terms of both looking at an unfortunate incident and wondering how this film will work around it, but to put that bit of sadness […]
If you’ll remember last weekend I reviewed Tony Jaa’s Ong Bak franchise in its entirety from the box set. And after how much of a disappointment those sequels wound up being, you can imagine my hesitancy going into the sequel to another Tony Jaa film, The Protector 2. Would we actually get a sequel this […]
Here comes the Ong-Bak trilogy in time for the release of The Protector 2. This is the home franchise for martial arts and Muay Thai expert Tony Jaa. For those of you wondering right off the bat, no, there is nothing new to this box set that hasn’t been out already. The only addition is […]
Hot on the heels of The Protector 2 coming to Blu-ray, why don’t we just toss Tony Jaa’s other franchise in a box set and put that on Blu-ray too! Good? GOOD! I’m wondering with the timing of these movies and the month they are getting released, if they weren’t strategically placed a while back in […]
I dig Tony Jaa’s style quite a bit. I’m looking really forward to him joining in on Fast & Furious 7 when that drops next April. When I saw his breakout film Ong-Bak, I was pretty blown away by his furious Muay Thai style and many of the fresh action sequences that beheld before my […]
Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior started off as a cult movie with pirated copies circulating across college campuses. However, this only helped to build a loyal following for a very low budget martial arts film starring an unknown Thai actor named Tony Jaa. HE is the reason why this movie is so impressive. Let’s take […]
International Martial Artist Tony Jaa is back in the prequel to his breakout performance in Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior. I not only missed Ong Bak 2 when it was in the theaters, but also the Sneak Peak presentation of it on HDNet. So needless to say, I was really excited when I was asked to review […]
