The Eiger Sanction
The Eiger Sanction is a movie that I like to tell people is as close as you can get to a live-action version of The Venture Brothers.

Marked For Death
Believe it or not, there was a short window of time, from the late 80s to early 90s, when Steven Seagal was cool as hell. He made some pretty damn slick action flicks. One of those is Marked For Death from 1990. In this one, Seagal plays Hatcher, a burned-out DEA agent who is freshContinue reading “Marked For Death”
