The way of martial arts
Time to get handsy. Yeah, it’s a crap pun, but whatever they all can’t be bangers. So, this one I saw the cover art for over on amazon and went “that could be cool” - expecting it to be a animated movie. Well, turns out it was not an animated movie, but it is still a wire-fu flick so I got part of it right right? Bring out your subtitles, tonight we check out (as titled on Amazon anyways) Buddha Palm.
Read MoreI may have mentioned it at some point, but I’ve been watching a lot of a “tv” show that follows a character from some Detective Dee movies I watched a while back and really enjoyed. You can actually find those reviews on here somewhere, if memory serves me right. Well, anyways, what that means for tonight is I’ve been on a big Chinese action kick, so when I see something talking about a sword fighter who can’t see in the title, obviously I’m going to pick it to watch. So low and behold, here we are! We’ve heard plenty of a blind Japanese swordsman, but tonight we swim over to China to check out Eye for an Eye.
Read MoreIt’s not a fight if there isn’t an exchange of blows.
Tonight we go back to the house of pain and get some wonderful hard hits. It’s go to throw in some simple action here and there so that we can all remember how wonderful it is to not get punched in the face by a mountain of a man with a look of disappointment on his face. It’s also a nice simple enjoyment that brings with it all those old classics, like one liners, revenge, and following through on threat-promises! That’s right, tonight we watch some bad guys learn why they are in the wrong The Hard Way.
Read MoreA monster will rise
Felt like a monster movie tonight, and I happen to have one on my backlog that I had heard from somewhere that I don’t remember. Funnily enough I had re-watched the 2014 Godzilla just last night, so it seems like I’m just in the mood for some big old stompy boys. Given the choke-hold that the big G has on the market, I thought we’d swing on down to Taiwan for a bit - so don’t blame me for not saying names and mispronouncing everything I do try - tonight we go to The Lake.
Read MoreA young girl leads a double life as an assassin for hire.
I saw a trailer and cover art and went “Why yes, this looks like some fun.” I figured it would be a more Japanese, anime-influenced take on something like Gunpowder Milkshake. Oh man, was I off in that call. Strap in for some whiplash action and a crap load of laughs, tonight you’ll find yourself questioning The Violence Action.

Tonight is time for a little experiment. I wanted to show my cousin, who I’ve previously forced (although I guess forced might be a bit over exaggerated) to watch an entry of Paranormal Activity to watch another found footage movie in the same vein and see what he thought of it. See, I love the concept of found footage, abut I always feel it’s done kind of cruddy - either it forgets what it’s trying to be and ends up being a worse movie for it, or it ends up feeling incredibly padded out by events being shown that don’t make any sense as to why they would be recorded. Both options brings the genre down, so when I found this little gem on streaming a while ago, i took note of it - and apparently I’m not the only one because they’ve made either more of them since then! Tonight, we download that cloud footage with Bed Ben.
Read MoreRevenge is a dirty business.
I offered up some genre options, and from there we narrowed it down by titles - and so I finally get around to a movie I’ve had in my rental list for a while. The man, the myth, the dude who owns a castle in my home state - which reminds me I have to track that documentary to watch at some point as well - was the main draw to this one for me. Of course, I also am quite familiar with the movie type as it were - the drama-heavy front end with a man who finally takes enough and things get violent. Considering I have seen nothing to dissuade my interest, let’s hop right on in to the movie about a garbage guy taking out the garbage - Clean.
Read MoreEnough Said!
What happens when it’s shark week, you remember it’s shark week, and you’ve already been through all the good shark movies? Well, you force people to watch tonights movie, obviously. I will absolutely never understand why this movie got popular enough to merit having five sequels. Like, I enjoy bad movies and dumb movies and good movies - but there is no reason this really should have caught on like fire. More support for that statement? The entire franchise is below a 4 out of 10. Stunning reviews from the populace right there! Anyways, grab a chainsaw it’s time for Sharknado.

I’ve been too kind to you lately. I’ve been treating you to these brand new movies that have had plenty of good things said about them, and haven’t been digging deep enough into the whirling waters of the cinematic pool to really get you to appreciate them. Although I don’t actively seek out bad movies, sometimes you get the pitch of a movie and know it’s probably not destined for greatness. Perhaps, you think to yourself, if I give it a watch it will impress me, as though if enough people watch it it’ll become a cult classic that somehow makes it better like a role playing game hero who just leveled up. Well, I have a penchant for watching dang near anything, and when it’s only 3 dollars on the line I can be a very forgiving guy - but will tonight’s entry be enough to remind me of the reasons why I don’t dwell out in the woods, or of movies that I don’t often revisit instead? Tonight, There’s Something in the Shadows.
Read MoreThe same summer I fought vampires.
I remember a while batch watching a movie called Vampires vs the Bronx after seeing a trailer that pitched a more horror-oriented The Goonies essentially. I remember having a lot of fun with it - but I don’t think that ever made it to being a review up on here (yeah, I know it’s unbelievable that a guy that watches a movie a week consistently would watch stuff in his spare time too but I do). Well, tonight I had a bit of free reign and timing to go after whatever in the world I wanted to - and my first thought was something like one of the currently making waves movies, but then I thought about all that subtitled reading I would need to do for 3 hours, and checked my “to watch” list on Amazon instead, where I came across this. That’s right, thanks to past me seeing this and going “that looks a bit like VsB” we get to check out this kids versus vampires , New Orleans edition. Tonight we witness the girl Black as Night.

Tonight’s video is brought to you by Raid: Shadow Legends! Just kidding, it has nothing to do with that at all honestly, outside of both starting with Raid and having a sub-section title after it. Nah, tonight I promised my audience something with cops, drug dealers, and absolutely brutal hits. Time to escape the bounds of American action and the relative safety of it’s job requirements - no, tonight you get to wonder just how many hospital bills were involved in those hits. Wear your uniform with pride, tonight is The Raid: Redemption.
Read MoreRace for your life.
I’ve got another charity stream coming up soon and I’ve chosen a popular-amongst the friend group destruction derby game for it. You might wonder where that becomes relevant for the movie tonight - well, let’s just say I found an excuse to rewatch an old anime and show it off to some friends, because I have the need for speed and I don’t think my car is going to make it. Push it hard, push it fast, tonight we push for the Redline.
Read MoreI no more than week ago learned of the existence of sequel to a shark movie that had already gotten another sequel that it didn’t need - and I was intrigued enough to think about watching it. “Before I watch that,” I had thought to myself, “I should watch that one I saw trailers and reviews for that looked like it was way up my alley.” For once, I listened to that little though, and before you get thrown into the deep end, let’s go to a different idea altogether. Did you ever wish Power Rangers was more violent and about the bad guys? Well do I have a treat for you, set your dinner aside and put on your effects-appreciation ponchos, tonight we have a look at Psycho Goreman.
Read MoreDo you like comic book movies? Do you like horror elements and comedy running into each other? Are you into really hairy dudes? Well, it’s time to test how well you can keep your getting offended in check, as tonight we found ourselves quite the little gem. Now, I’m not saying this movie is super offensive - but I would put money down on the fact that someone somewhere will get offended by it. It probably won’t be the rednecks - they’ll be too busy laughing about it. Enough prattling, grab a bear and your man’s best friend, it’s time to check out Bubba the Redneck Werewolf.
Read MoreWell, it’s finally arrived - the end of the Millennium set. Ever hear a statement that’s both true and false? See, technically both Tokyo S.O.S. and Final Wars are after this one and considered part of the set, but there’s already entries for those two on here, so it’s the last one that we need to still look at, but it’s not actually the last of the set. Now that I have your confused attention or maybe I’m just starting to lose you, tonight’s movie contains a giant bio-robot and yet another angry Godzilla. Can the tiny humans finally pull of a W against the force of nature, or is their new toy nothing more than a train to get thrown back down? Check your seat belts, tonight is Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla.
Read MoreLet me tell you what, this title is a mouthful. Like, holy cow man, the title’s as long as ‘zilla is tall. Makes for some crazy nice box art though! Anyways, we are continuing our Millennium arc today, and of course we have to up the ante by making Godzilla have not one contender but three! Grab your popcorn and get ready for a ride, tonight we check out Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
Read MoreHave you ever wanted to see a man in a monster suit reenact that Nic Cage scene where he’s shouting about bees? Why, do I have a gem of a present for you today! Continuing our trek through the Millennium series we come to an interesting stage where things start to get a little goofy - and yet it still is technically classic horror-scifi to boot. Get out your G-discs and put on your G-helmet, tonight we fly on in to Godzilla vs Megaguirus: The G Annihilation Strategy.
Read MoreI’ve found an interesting looking movie for this week. At one point I was watching a show on Netflix that was essentially a fancy Taiwanese puppet show, and the trailer for this reminded me a lot of that. Of course, there’s some complications that arise when something is designed to be a puppet show, and I’ve got those limitations and complexities in mind before going into the movie. What I didn’t realize is that I’m not starting at the beginning - there was a short film that came before this. Well, buckle in and check your strings, tonight we look at Yamasong: March of the Hollows.
Read MoreI saw this movie while bingeing through the selections of movies available on VUDU last year, and it’s sat in the back of my mind since. As the new year approached, they had a sale - and for five dollars, I think I could chance it not being great so I grabbed it. So I watched the trailer and it tempered my expectations to what I hope is a suitable level, let’s see if the movie starts of the year on a good foot or not. Tonight, we slay some monsters in The Head Hunter.
Read MoreAre you ready for the last full review of 2019? Man, what a trip this year has been. Yeah, maybe it was a little “horror” heavy, but when left to my own devices I gravitate to what looks interesting, and it’s not my fault that tends to be spooky movies. I did notice, perhaps in an overall variety not entirely reflected by my reviews here, that I also am watching a lot of foreign movies - perhaps more so than the years before. I guess that’s the power of something like Netflix branching out - when those movies suddenly become easily available, it leads to more dabbling, be it from monsters to zombies to historically fantastic martial arts movies. After reflecting on it a little bit, I decided that it’s only fitting that I give that last slot up to another foreign flick - and to be honest, it’s more because it was in the top bar of Netflix going “you might want to check this out” and sounded interesting enough that I hopped in. Let us go ahead and see if I chose well for the last round of the year, perhaps some detectives can ask some spirits if I have a ghost of a chance down in The 9th Precinct.
