When I was told about the Howard Hawks Blogathon by my friend Ratnakar of Seetimaar – Diary of a Movie Lover I was really happy because Hawks is a filmmaker I’ve been a fan of for many years now. I think what made Hawks’ work appealing to me was the fact he could take any genre and entertain you through his mastery of it. Whether it was comedy, adventure, western [read...]

Brian DePalma and Screenwriter Oliver Stone’s 1983 update of the Howard Hawks gangster classic is one of our favorite furious films (READ OUR FULL REVIEW). The poster we’ve chosen is the alternate Australian design which recalls the illustrated kinds that were very popular in the 70s.

The film brilliantly sets up an ominous [read...]

The Biker gang genre is easily one of the most furious of all the types in cinema that’ve been created throughout the years. The main reason these films were so much fun was because of their anti-authoritative themes and freewheeling approach to storytelling. They were in effect modern Westerns with the biker gangs replacing the traditional outlaws and riding choppers instead of horses. When these groups of cycle savages pulled [read...] 
Ernest Borgnine is an actor that over the years I’ve come to appreciate more and more. His tenacious persona in the many films and television shows he acted in impressed me from a young age. I think my first introduction to “Ernie” (as he liked to be called) was McHale’s Navy (1962-66) the classic World War II era sitcom. I was too young to watch it on its original run, [read...]
