Blackbelt DVD review

It then quickly moves onto introducing its hero saving a young girl from a nasty pimp. Thats about as good as it gets. And, unfortunately, its not even that good. Youre looking for the exit at your earliest opportunity. You dont come to a Don The Dragon Wilson film for that. Ad content continues below But the plot does its best to shape itself around his impressive kickboxing credentials. You never know whats going to happen in the job market....

The Big Bird Cage DVD review

Because this is a film that has its sexually aggressive leading woman sent to prison! And not just any prison, a Philippine Jungle prison! Teeming with other scantily clad female prisoners! Director Jack Hills next two films wereCoffyandFoxy Brown. But then, people didnt go to these types of exploitation films for their stirring tales. AndThe Big Bird Cagemoves past that point quite soon into its 96 minutes. After a while, a guard looking longingly at Sid Haigs hairy belly button stops being funny....

Mutants DVD Review

Mutants: or, what happens from French cinema tackles the cliched zombie film genre… Ah,Mutants, answering my call for yet another cliched and unoriginal zombie film. Glad you could make it. What, youre French? Well, why didnt you say so?! That makes all the difference. Their own formulaic and increasingly rubbish as it progresses version. Hightailing it to a nearby complex (which I had no idea what it was. She is also carrying his child and clearly loves him, and so is trapped by this....

Dead To Rights: Retribution Xbox 360 review

Its a third-person hybrid beat em up/shooter, with a helping of canine adventuring thrown in. Its not all hand to hand combat, though, andRetributionalso has a heavy focus on ranged combat. Jack can make use of various weapons such as pistols, shotguns, rifles and rocket launchers. Gunplay is all about one thing, though: the headshot. Another reason to go for the headshot is the Focus system. Shadow is implemented in two ways....

Looking Back at Joel Schumacher’s A Time to Kill

Joel Schumacher followed up Batman Forever with a march back into the world of John Grisham. It will remain nothing more than a reflection of our own prejudices. The two brutally attack and rape her before trying to hang her from a tree. He is arrested without resistance and charged with murder and attempted murder of a police official. The trial garners much media attention and the focus on race becomes a prominent issue....

Which is quite an achievement given the quality of the other songs. It was awarded the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1940....

Confessions Of A Superhero DVD review

A fascinating documentary following people who dress up as superheroes for a living finally makes it to the UK… They are not scrutinised for laughs. It is a deeply moving progression, with moments of debatable exploitation as their luck hits rock bottom. That the latter hero views this as his big break is quite devastating. These factors makeConfessions Of A Superheroa conflicted viewing experience. This isnt a zippy, fun documentary....

Transformers: War For Cybertron interview

Narrative-wise, its reminiscent of the origin stories that have been used by many long-standing properties. This is coming only a year after the tie-in game for theTransformers2 film. How isWar For Cybertrondifferent? What was it like working on a non-movie license game? Youre correct,War For Cybertronis not based on a film. In fact, this particular game is very strongly influenced by Generation One. So, its pretty nostalgic, going into work every single day to work on something that you love....
