“This town needs an enema!” – Jack Nicholson as The Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman If you’re a film geek it’s sometimes tough to sit and watch the machine of moviemaking in Hollywood burp out one lousy film after another. It’s not that we want to complain, but it just begins to slowly disturb you and bring up bad feelings. If you’re on Twitter you may rant and rave, make [read...] 
The title “Ong-Bak” refers to a stone Buddha head which is what gives the main character a reason to go on a path of destruction. The full title is “Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior“ and the movie as you can probably guess, is a Thai production. Supposedly, Thai movies have a particular style of direction and comedy and that can be found here. In the film, someone steals Ong Bak [read...]

The crime film is one of the greatest genres to provide audiences with a mainline to adrenaline charged action drama and emotion. If you don’t go for all the fantasy CGI and 3D cinema, Ruben Fleischer’s upcoming old school cops vs. criminals film Gangster Squad (the title even sounds like a pulp novel) might be for you. It looks like a throwback to classics we love like Once Upon a [read...] 
The French Connection, The Exorcist, Sorceror, To Live and Die in L.A., these are just a few of the cinematic masterpieces Director William Friedkin has given to movie lovers over the years. We’re thrilled to hear that he has a new film on the way and it’s by no means playing by the usual Hollywood rules, something we at Furious Cinema not only love to see but it’s partly why [read...] 
Falling Down is proof that not all Joel Schumacher films suck (it’s mainly just his Batman movies). This is a great film that I believe should be known as a classic, among the ranks of Scarface, Die Hard and other timeless must see movies.

The [read...]
