Posted on November 17, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

1954 saw the first outing of James Bond on TV screens in America. Casino Royale is a fantastically interesting time piece that James Bond fans show spend some time with.

Fearless Fuzz (1978)

Posted on November 2, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Fearless Fuzz (or Magnum Cop,) on paper, feels like one of those pairings of an action comedy with two hot stars we have seen so frequently over the years. Charming as it might be, it can’t shake it’s Italocrime roots.

In a Violent Nature (2024)

The whole premise of In A Violent Nature is utterly routine for those who are familiar with the genre and yet completely refreshing as it offers a refreshingly different point of view.

Night Killer (1990)

Night Killer is pretty bad. It is a laugh for a bunch of friends to sit and make fun off, however, there are some frustratingly painful decisions made to keep the story going.

Killer Cop (1975)

Posted on August 24, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Killer Cop (1975) is hardly a fun jaunt, however, it’s an intriguing police procedural with an interesting collection of characters at its heart.

Nightmare Beach (1989)

Posted on August 17, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Nightmare Beach doesn’t challenge or make any attempts to be a classic. It does manage to deliver the goods one looks for in 80’s slashers, scantily clad ladies, blood and a light whodunit.

Interzone (1989)

There is something about Interzone (1989) that makes it notable and special over other post-apocalyptic Mad Max knock off movies… and it’s not just Bruce Abbott!
