The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
No Holds Barred is definitely a walk down nostalgia lane. I remember renting this in the late ’80s or the early ’90s. I believe I wasn’t too impressed by it and I thought that the acting was below almost everything I had seen at the time. But at the same time, it was ravingly entertaining and I loved it for that. I think I then treated it as a movie that takes itself totally seriously...
I spend a lot of time on social media. I may not write too much on there but I read a lot and on occasion I get tips about movies done by people I never heard of. Post Apocalyptic Commando Shark is such a movie. Mostly these movies are horror flicks of some sort and when reading the title I thought nothing else of this one. Taste the title – Post Apocalyptic Commando Shark – what...
In the original Greek title, Death has Blues Eyes translates the “the Bomb Girl” which is actually a better title when you know what the plot is actually about. When you don’t know what it’s all about it might be a little too much information given away. And, to be completely honest I kinda like the Gialli-feeling to Death has Blue Eyes. So much that I, in fact, thought it was kinda a Giallo when...
I think Ryan Reynolds is a pretty funny guy, also so in Free Guy. I don’t know how much of it that’s actually an act since I’ve seen him hilariously funny in several interviews. Does he always play a role or is he really that funny? I don’t know. But it seems to come naturally to him. Maybe he has a huge impact on the script and the dialog in his movies or he’s just...
Masked Avenger Versus Ultra-Villain in the Lair of the Naked Bikini is a pretty long title. I guess there are other flicks with even longer titles but I don’t think there are too many of them out there. There is also an alternate title that is not only shorter but also more to the point – The Masturbating Gunman. And that’s essentially what the film is about. At least in part. This Masturbating Gunman is...
My Spanish is almost non existing. There are a couple of words I actually understand but apart from that it’s all gibberish to me. But there’s luckily English subtitles on The Day of the Beast. For some reason I thought that this was a horror flick. Well, it’s easy to make that assumption with such a title for the movie. But if you’re attentive you’ll notice that the cover actually says that this is a...
It’s not unusual that sequels get worse and worse the longer away from the original movie they come. Smokey and the Bandit is not an exception. The first film was fun and entertaining. The second seemed like torture for the actors and this… well… even Burt Reynolds refused this one! There are a few flashbacks in the beginning and some scenes at the end where he’s present though. I’m not sure if this is recycled...
Smokey and the Bandit was the film that I thought I saw back in the old days. It’s seems that it actually was the first movie though since I don’t reorganize anything from this one. It may seem odd that I’ve seen and reviewed thousands of flicks but never saw these classics. But that’s how it is and you can never cover everything on your frame of reference even how much you try. In this...
All my life I thought that it was actually the sequel to this I saw in the cinema. But when I watched this (and the sequel) I realized that this was the one I saw. I don’t remember much but some fragments are clear. Smokey and the Bandit are a high speed action comedy where car chases are the theme. It’s not the kind of movie I usually like but this is pretty entertaining. Burt...
I got this film – Last Trip – sent to me for review. It’s the greatest thing when this happens since I can get to see something I wouldn’t watch otherwise. It can be almost anything, I really don’t care. I’ve gotten everything from extreme horror flicks to comedies over the years. I like alternate movies just like I’m fond of every other genre. Often I think it’s more interesting with independent films. They don’t...
I can’t remember how I first got in contact with Birdman. I guess it was some of my friends that recommended it for me. Anyway, I watched it the other day and was blown away for many aspects of it. First of all the pace is very high. It starts right away and at first you don’t have a clue what the hell this is. The story is as complicated as it is simple. We...
There are several issues with this Ninja flick. First of all, there is a battle going on between the golden ninja clan (or something like that) and the red ninjas. The problem is that I only remember the red ninja. Second, it’s far too comedic. A comedy ninja flick is kind of a contradiction in my mind. Of course, we have flicks like Beverly Hills Ninja with Chris Farley. But that’s a comedy first and...
