Well, Gene Hackman, his wife and dog were found dead early 2-27-2025. A helluva good actor who made some great flicks. This one being my favorite. Let’s take another look at it in honor of Gene and his career. RIP to him and his wife and dog. In 1983 the Vietnam War had only beenContinue reading “Uncommon Valor”

The Bridges at Toko-Ri is a 1954 film about a fighter/bomber pilot, played by William Holden, in the Korean War.  Holden is a Naval reserve officer called back into service and he isn’t too happy about it. While other active reserves are still back in the US, Holden was called back unfairly in his opinion,Continue reading “The Bridges at Toko-Ri”

Way back in 1989 one of John Milius’ least known but best movies came out and quickly vanished.  Farewell To he King is one of my favorite films. It is a shame that it  has more or less dropped off the face of the earth. The last home video release was in 2008 on DVD.Continue reading “Farewell To The King”

Savage Sisters is a 1974 exploitation film. It was made in the Philippines and directed by the awesome Eddie Romero.  The film was one of many pure exploitation movies to come out of the Philippines. The plot is pure fun. Set in an unnamed, dictator controlled, country that looks suspiciously like the Philippines, two womenContinue reading “Savage Sisters 1974”

A classic 70s revenge film

The Big Red One is a World War II movie from 1980, and it seems like I never hear anyone talk about it anymore. It was made independently but has been overshadowed recently by more modern versions of World War II stories, like Saving Private Ryan. This is a shame because it is excellent. ItContinue reading “THE BIG RED ONE (1980)”

Here in the U.S. of A. it is Memorial Day. For those that don’t live here, Memorial Day is the one day a year that we remember those who died fighting for our country. A lot of people like to have barbecues and family gatherings. I like to spend the day making those people feelContinue reading “Memorial Day War Movie Marathon”

The last 10 years have shown that the 1980s will never get old. There are a lot of movies and music around that have the look, the sound, and the feel of the 80s. Some of it has been pretty lame (Kung Fury,Manborg), and some of it has been awesome (The Guest, Father’s Day, Drive).Continue reading “Turbo Kid”

It’s October so you know what that means. That’s right. Its time for me to tell you about movies with cannibals and rape. The 1985 film Cut and Run directed by Ruggero Deodato has both of those things and more! And, dare I say, it’s my favorite cannibal horror movie. The movie has a absurdlyContinue reading “CUT AND RUN 1985”

As you all probably know by now actor Robert Duvall passed away this week. Big loss. The man was 95 though so I can’t say any of us should be surprised. That is a hell of a run though and he will not be forgotten. His career was just one iconic class movie after another.Continue reading “Robert Duvall Film Retrospective”
