Corbucci had a love-hate relationship with most of the people he had ever worked with. When Manolo Bolognini (the producer of Django) proposed a new project to him, to be executed in the last months of ’66, he was still at odds with the producer and therefore accepted another offer, made to him by Albert […]

Hong Kong action legend Jackie Chan made his lead role debut with this standard kung fu film, which would later be used in a composite film that capitalized on his success. This review is for this original rare classic. Hsiao Hu is a young man who works at an uncle’s restaurant as a waiter and

Before I get too far into it, I have to share that I think a film like The Black Pirate is just going to be tough to review given the fact that I’m viewing it through a 2023 lens and I can’t help that. Every film included in the Great Movie Ride was added to

If I were asked to put together the perfect man night, by whom I don’t know, it would inevitably involve Jack Daniels, local Austin beef ribs the size of a cruise ship, and a ’70s revenge film. I love the ever-living hell out of movies like Death Wish, Lady Snowblood, Get Carter, and Thriller: A

Coyote tells

This was a short and low-effort movie, so I’m going to be doing the same for the review. Hopefully, you’ll also be as amused as I was watching the film, and the title will also have grabbed your attention. Ironically, it took me longer to write and upload this blog post than it did for

You can almost hear the elevator pitch: “Legally Blonde” in space, an under-rated ditz who doesn’t dress or talk like the snobbish types with the gilded resumes but shows she has the right stuff. Then maybe add a little bit of “The King’s Man” for some action, and here we are. Emma Roberts plays Rex,

“The island was teeming with life. And now it had a new kind of life,” writes Peter Brown in The Wild Robot. “A strange kind of life. Artificial life.” The extraordinary film adaptation of Brown’s The Wild Robot bursts with life and energy. It gives a jolt to studio animation in a sea in which

It’s natural to be suspicious of an Angel Studios picture; after all, the Utah-based movie studio made its mark last year with the surprising box office success of the child-trafficking thriller “Sound of Freedom.” The film raked in $242 million off the back of a QAnon conspiracy-peddling star and the overwhelming sensation of fighting back
