Interzone (1989)

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

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!

No Contest II (1996)

Posted on July 27, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Some say Shannon Tweed action sequel No Contest II (or Face of Evil) (1996) is better than the first film. Could it be true?

Land of Doom (1987)

I thoroughly enjoy the goofy nonsense that Land of Doom presents and there is one particular reason for this.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024)

Posted on July 14, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F feels a lot like the recent Ghostbusters relaunch pulling as many characters as possible back in, however, it doesn’t use them as a springboard for a new cast to take on the franchise. Instead we catch up with some old pals and it’s a nice experience to spend some time with them again.

Death Has Blue Eyes (1976)

Posted on July 6, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

With a selection of Nico Mastorakis’ films hitting physical media before the end of the month I have finally gotten around to a … bit of a classic that Niko put out early in his career. Death Has Blue Eyes is a Greek production from the mid 70’s and looks wildly fun.

La morte risale a ieri sera (1970)

Posted on June 29, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Death occurred last night a (slightly flawed) police procedural with a collection of fantastic performances. There are some unique ideas, adult themes and fun moments throughout.

No Contest (1995)

Posted on June 22, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

You know what? No Contest is okay. Sure it’s a very blatant in taking it’s inspiration from Die Hard but scratches the itch and does a few things rather well that honestly surprised me.

Mean Tricks (1992)

Posted on June 15, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Mean Tricks has the prospect of Napier playing a tough, hard drinking cop with a plot involving prostitute rings and directed by Umberto Lenzi, the opportunities for a trashy outing had never been higher.

Hot Stuff (1979)

Posted on May 25, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Hot Stuff sounds amazing, a bunch of Burt Reynolds’ co-stars make an action comedy about the fuzz setting up a fencing operation to catch crooks, based on actual events and nothing too serious.

American Rampage (1989)

Posted on May 11, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

American Rampage! WHAT a movie this is! I’m sure it will be spectacular if they ever finish it.
