Thunder Run (1985)

Posted on December 30, 2023January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

1985’s Thunder Run is equal parts The Road Warrior, The A-Team and Wargames, with a smattering of Porky’s to appeal to the youth.

Solar Crisis (1990)

Posted on December 16, 2023January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Solar Crisis has become vastly more interesting over the years. Tim Matheson, Charlton Heston, Jack Palance and Peter Boyle star in this sci-fi adventure with … umm… effects and music.

The Female Executioner (1986)

Posted on April 8, 2023January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

The Female Executioner (L’exécutrice) wants to be a tough-as-nails, female Dirty Harry knock-off yet there is very little that it manages to get right.

Uncommon Valour (1983)

Posted on January 28, 2023January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

There is no shortage of missing in action prisoner of war movies from the 80’s, however, featuring a terrific cast and a director of note Uncommon Valour is far from your typical ‘Nam action.

Phase IV (1974)

Phase IV is an engrossing and thought provoking horror that you should not hesitate to find and enjoy.

Raw Justice (1994)

Posted on October 1, 2022January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Raw Justice is a simple, direct-to-video flick that is a product of its time, featuring an exceptional cast of B-Movie greats, constant action and a peppering of nudity.

Stand Alone (1985)

Posted on September 24, 2022January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Stand Alone from 1985 is the great Charles Durning doing Rambo, Walking Tall and Death Wish. Sounds dark, violent and crazy… well…

Seven (1979)

Posted on September 17, 2022January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Seven is a bit of a treat. I really enjoyed it and not for the obvious reasons. The nudity is actually quite sparse and the action and explosions are fairly tame.
