Rear Admiral: The end is inevitable, Maverick. Your kind is headed for extinction.
Maverick: Maybe so, sir. But not today.
After two years of delays Top Gun: Maverick pretty much feels like a film from a bygone era. In the sense that it actually looks and feels like a real movie. The original Top Gun is mostly known for its aviator sequences. But for me personally, they never stuck with me that much. I remember and liked (not loved) it…
I’ll try to make this short and come straight to the point. I think this movie blows. Like the last couple of Marvel movies and the vast majority of TV-shows. I find the whole set-up and story stupid and nonsensical and even worse, lazy and uninspired. The whole motivation for the villain is ludicrous and the ways he/she (trying to keep this vague because of spoilers) is ridiculous and even within the context of the Marvel universe wildly inconsistent. The…
Oh man, this is a tough one. First off, this is one of the rare classical Kung-Fu movie I have never even heard of before Eureka announced to release it a couple of months ago. I, of course, know a lot of the talent involved here. From (Hapkido) director Wong Fung to fight choreographer and co-star Sammo Hung and actors like James Tien, Chan Sing, Casanova Wang and several others. How this movie escaped me for so long I do…
Another day, another Charles Bronson picture. A year before Death Wish Bronson and director Michael Winner collaborated for the third (of six) time to make The Stone Killer. It’s a bit of an uneven mix of Dirty Harry and The Godfather. Two of the most popular movie at that time. I get the idea, but I have to say that not all the pieces seem to fit together in this case. At times it feels like two different movie with…
As I went to the cinema this evening, I was wondering why had not yet read or seen any reviews of Malignant. It is usually a bad sign when the studio refuses to show the film to critics beforehand. Now that I have seen the movie, I can understand why. I am pretty sure that Malignant will crash and burn with most critics and also with a majority of the mainstream audiences. This movie was not made for them. So…
“Gentlemen, torture as a political instrument is no longer the crude and brutal extraction of information from one's enemies. It has become a subtle and sophisticated specialty, to be carried out with medical and scientific precision.” - Dr. Clement Molloch
Pretty rough and gruesome at times Charles Bronson Action Thriller where he hunts down a sadistic torture doctor in Latin American. The setting and (torture) theme makes this movie feel a little different than many other of Bronson made in…
