By Stark If you are a man of a certain age, Netflix’s action extravaganza Extraction was just brilliant. It felt straight out of the 80s action movie heyday. From a better, simpler time when you would have returned from the rental store with the VHS of this one fine Saturday, and watched the shit out ifContinue reading “EXTRACTION 2 First Look”

Controversial: LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT
The boys are back, this time talking about both the 1972 and 2009 versions of The Last House on the Left. Last House on the Left was the first movie by Wes Craven, who went on to have a pretty good career in horror with movies like Nightmare on Elm Street and the Scream franchise.Continue reading “Controversial: LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT”
JOHN WICK 4 Trailer
John Wick had a puppy. A naughty man killed the puppy. A lot of people died. That’s pretty much the story of John Wick, which looks like it won’t be stopping any time soon. The trailer isn’t giving much away, it’s pretty much the same as the other three, ‘John goes around killing everyone’, but,Continue reading “JOHN WICK 4 Trailer”
Netflix- All Quiet On The Western Front
This looks like it could be pretty good. A much more gritty and realistic looking take than the bland 1917 from a couple years ago.

The writer of Taxi Driver, Paul Schrader, must have because in 1979 he wrote and directed Hardcore starring George C Scott. The film could veryContinue reading “Hardcore 1979”
Network 1976
Its that time again. When I try to ease the soul-crushing lack of quality film content you are hammered with in our current year with a stone cold classic film you may not have heard of or seen. Today it’s not my usual subject of violence and exploitation. This is something normies, and the moreContinue reading “Network 1976”
Mann On HEAT 2 & Modern Action
After a quiet period, Michael Mann is back with a bang. His sequel novel Heat 2, written with Edgar Award-winning author Meg Gardiner, has just topped the best-seller list shortly after release. He’s also out in Italy just starting production on his Ferrari biopic. The structure of the Heat 2 novel, with switching time periodsContinue reading “Mann On HEAT 2 & Modern Action”
Death Wish 3
Death Wish 3 may not be the best Death Wish movie, but it is my favorite one. The original film was a 1970s moody contemplation about what happens to a modern liberal when the system fails him completely in the face of urban crime and rot. Paul Kersey goes from being an upper class NYCContinue reading “Death Wish 3”
The Last Boyscout
Way back in the year of our Lord, 1991 Tony Scott directed a little film written by Shane Black. The script for that film set an industry record for the price the studio paid for it. $1.75 million for the script, with over a $1 million guaranteed up front. That film is the excellent TheContinue reading “The Last Boyscout”
