The Medallion Vs The Tuxedo (Review)

Battle of the crap. In the early part of the dubbos Hollywood couldn’t work out how to harness Jackie’s physical talents without trying to justify it in some stupid pointless way… Isn’t it enough that the guy can throw himself … Continue reading

Clash of the Titans 2010 (Review)

I’m about to give a spoiler-filled review of Clash of the Titans, hopefully this will not ruin your “enjoyment” of the film. (For those of you who don’t know, CGI means Computer Generated Imagery.) Film opens with overblown pretentious sounding … Continue reading

Reign of Fire (Review)

I’ve watched a couple of good B movies recently, which inspired me to drag one of the better ones in recent years out of my personal collection for another look. Reign of Fire is the best possible dragon-based film that … Continue reading

The Spy Next Door (Review)

This film is the impetus behind two things, this Jackie Chan movie marathon and the realization that Jackie’s film career is no longer alive and kicking. The Spy Next Door sucks on so many levels that if Jackie weren’t in … Continue reading

Children of Men (Review)

Sometimes in between watching films about underground monsters, vampires, ninjas and mindless violence I actually enjoy watching quality films that tell a story. The year is 2027, and since 2009 (gulp) the human population of Earth has been unable to … Continue reading

Ong Bak 2 (Review)

For years I have called the original Ong Bak “Who stole my Buddha head?”, and The Protector was always “Who stole me elephant?”. After all, that was entirely the plot of each film, pushed out to 90 minutes by the … Continue reading

Survival of the Dead (Review)

A letter to George Romero: Dear George, We get it. You invented the modern zombie film. You used shuffling zombies to build tension and gore effects that went beyond what anyone else was doing at the time to unsettle your … Continue reading

Police Story 3 (Review)

Supercop. By this stage it seems Jackie wanted to move away from the standard formula that made the first two Police Story’s so successful, so in this film there is less slapstick, less interaction with May, and minimal tomfoolery with … Continue reading

Constantine (Review)

Over the years Canoe Reeves (alright Keanu) has gotten a bad wrap. His problem is that he comes across as a bit of a dumb-ass, and perhaps he is, but where his films are concerned it seems that most critics … Continue reading
