In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale

“#163 of 2013 - Normally I am not a fan of nonsense fantasy and Seige of The Dungeon Name of The King's Tale had as much nonsense and gobbledegook as the best of the fantasy epics out there but honestly I enjoyed it. A lot was to do with the cast, as lo...”

The Package

“#162 of 2013 - The Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin and Darren Shahlavi starring The Package is a pleasant and welcome surprise. For a straight-to-video actioner it is an exceptional film with even a bit of a First Blood vibe (The great North West and Cana...”

“#161 of 2013 - pretty silly later Seagal vehicle that still manages to have some decent one liners, plenty of breasts and some above average ass kicking. All these straight-to-video action films suffer the same problem though: The directors and editors...”

“#160 of 2013 - Way better than it has any right to be. The 1 location is used well, Steve Austin is a watchable presence ably supported by Michael Jai White, Darren Shahlavi et al, the fighting is good, the script is funny and the pace is maintained. T...”

Exterminator 2

“#159 of 2013 - It's better than the first one, in the sense that it makes about 20% more sense than that film (in terms of linear narrative). Apart from that it's a fairly standard and gruesome, by the numbers, 80s, New York set, grind-house, revenge f...”

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

“#158 of 2013 - Gearing up for parts 6 & 7 in the theatre I am watching these silly films. This one improves on the previous two by having a director and editor a little bit more capable of actually making a film that doesn't completely suck. It also at...”

Salvador

“#157 of 2013 - Oliver Stone's fine effort to portray the troubles brewing in El Salvador as a warning for the government possibly engaging in a second Vietnam. Lots of it is made up and wildly exaggerated of course and the tone goes from Hunter S Thomp...”

Of Unknown Origin

“#156 of 2013 - this yuppie fights giant rat movie goes from the sublime to the ridiculous and swings wildly from tense rat-based jump scares to ludicrous, laugh out loud Weller based lunacy. Ever want to see a brownstone destroyed over 90 mins with the...”

“#155 of 2013 - A GREAT sci-fi fantasy fable from the 70s with all the allegories you want to read into it, great performances, ample nudity, the right side of 70s camp and a shed load of invention for the budget.”

“#154 of 2013 - A pretty weird and wonderful Aussie movie starring two Brits. Great atmosphere, strong performances and a good set up. The twist doesn't really work or make too much sense but it's worth it for the ride. Based on the James Herbert book.”

“Gearing up for parts 6 & 7 in the theatre I am watching these silly, annoyingly directed and pretentiously acted, yet still fairly fun films. In this one his token black sidekick is the most annoying person in the world who needs a good side KICK!”

“#151 of 2013 - McQuarrie's second best script after The Usual Suspects, a fantastically fun and hard nosed Cruise performance with a wonderfully pulp thriller story and milky eyed, fingerless, Werner Herzog. Who could want more? It's brilliant, enjoyab...”
