Overdrive (1998)

Posted on November 9, 2024May 20, 2026 by garethmyles

Steve Guttenberg is back in the action hero mould and the plot of Overdrive is as scant as it is interesting. If it’s action, car chases and sizzling sex you crave… look elsewhere.

Fearless Fuzz (1978)

Posted on November 2, 2024March 11, 2026 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)

Posted on October 26, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

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.

Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)

Posted on October 12, 2024May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

Directed by Amando de Ossorio Tombs of the Blind Dead is Spanish/Portuguese co-production that has a turbulent history of releases to get it in front of the audience yet still a perfect Halloween watch in 2024.

Revenge of the Living Dead Girls (1987)

Revenge of the Living Dead Girls is a curious title that begs a view. A cheap french zombie flick with quite the twist and some nasty gore!

Volunteers (1985)

Posted on September 28, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Most will see Volunteers as a dumb American comedy, which it certainly is and there are plenty of better ones. However, I always favour the underdog and prefer the pointlessness of this film over Hanks’ bigger hits like Big and Splash.

Frantic (1988)

Posted on September 22, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Frantic is an oddity on Harrison Ford’s filmography. Whilst he is best known as Indiana Jones, Han Solo and Jack Ryan and his action thrillers, there was a period in the 80’s when he was something of a dramatic actor with range and critics were noting him.
