Wind River is a 2017 neo-western movie that was written and directed by Taylor Sheridan. It wasn’t a major release at the time, but it was successful. It was something of a sleeper which is a shame as it is very, very good. I have been trying to turn people on to Sheridan’s movies forContinue reading “Wind River 2017”

Shoot To Kill
The 80s was a great time for action movies. There were so many of them, that some really good ones get lost in the mix. Forgotten gems of the 1980s, excellent films, full of great character actors and stories that never get talked about anymore. Shoot to Kill, aka Deadly Pursuit, is one of thoseContinue reading “Shoot To Kill”
COBRA (1986)
Way back in 1986, Canon Films released one of their true timeless masterpieces of action cinema, Cobra. A young 11-year-old Shawn sat in the theatre and basked in the violent glory of Lieutenant Marion “Cobra” Cobretti blowing away mooks like it was cool (which it is) in a sleazy 1980s California. Cobra is about asContinue reading “COBRA (1986)”
Hard To Kill
Just before the old site died, I did a Retro Review of Marked For Death. Now we are back in the world of Steven Seagal and that world is a crazy, corrupt place with dirty cops and even more dirty politicians. There isn’t much we mere mortals can do about it. The good news isContinue reading “Hard To Kill”
Cop (1988)
“Well there’s some good news and there’s some bad news. The good news is you’re right, I’m a cop and I gotta take you in. The bad news is I’ve been suspended and I don’t give a fuck.” Cop is a 1988 film starring James Woods (AKA The World’s Greatest Twitter Commenter) as an LAPDContinue reading “Cop (1988)”
BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR
A lot of people will talk about Re-Animator and what a great film it is. And it is! It is a true masterclass.™ A stone-cold classic. But you won’t see anywhere as many people talking about the second film in the series, Bride Of Re-Animator. Bride Of Re-Animator picks up 8 months after the original. WestContinue reading “BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR”
Best Scene From MIAMI VICE – Jim Zubiena
The episode The Hit List and the scene below, in particular, was the moment every serious shooter in the 80s made Miami Vice “must-see TV”. Jim Zubiena who plays the hitman was a well-known IPSC shooter and champion at the time. He does indeed fire 3 shots but the cameras of the day could notContinue reading “Best Scene From MIAMI VICE – Jim Zubiena”
Death Wish 2018
Remember 2018? Boy… a lot has happened since then, huh? One of the small films that came out that year was Eli Roth’s remake of Death Wish, starring Bruce Willis. A huge action star and an (in)famous horror film maker teaming up. Was it any good? Well, let’s talk about that. The idea of aContinue reading “Death Wish 2018”
THE HIGHWAYMEN
Sometimes at Last Movie Outpost we do Retro Reviews, and sometimes we don’t even need to go that far back to find something interesting, noteworthy or worth sharing. This time we are going back, not way back, to 2019 and The Highwaymen. Last night, I fired up my friend’s Netflix account and settled down toContinue reading “THE HIGHWAYMEN”
Platoon Leader
The 1980s were awash with films about the Vietnam War. It seemed like there was an endless torrent of ‘Nam movies. At one end were the high-minded attempts to “say something” about the war. At the other end were the exploitation action films and just the trash. Platoon Leader falls into the exploitation/trash end ofContinue reading “Platoon Leader”
