“Harry Brown” stars Michael Caine, a respected older actor who has been acting on stage, television and movies for over 60 years. He has no gaps in his resume, in fact his fame has accumulated moreso in recent years. The main premise of the story is that of the vigilante. Vigilante movies are sort of their own sub-category. Other vigilante movies are ones like the Death Wish series starring Charles [read...]

We’ve previously posted a list of 50 Furious Westerns, and to build on that, we’re launching a series of in-depth looks at some classics of the genre. No rules. First up is a guest post by Simon Gelten (one of the most active writers on The Spaghetti Western Database). 50 FURIOUS WESTERNS [read...] 
In our latest edition of CineFusion Weekly we posted some info on the Batman viral campaign not knowing that we’d actually get to see the final trailer early for one of the most anticipated films of the summer. I may be a Marvel Films/Avengers supporter before DC, but when it comes to Chris Nolan’s Batman, I’m equally a fanboy. Right now my excitement is even greater because The Dark Knight [read...] 
While watching one of my all time favorite films this past week, Robert Zemeckis’ 1980 screwball classic auto-comedy USED CARS I discovered a connection. It wasn’t with another film that has a similar theme but something else I’ve been thinking alot about, specifically what’s currently going on in the movie industry regarding all the 3D and higher frame rate speed hucksterism. It seems that these various gimmicks (for lack of [read...] 
Based on true events in the life of martial arts champion Frank Dux, Newt Arnold’s 1988 action classic BLOODSPORT marked the breakout debut of Belgian actor Jean Claude Van Damme.

He had previously played a small part as “Ivan The Russian” in the [read...]

Robert Pattinson plays Eric Packer, a millionaire who leaves his penthouse in Manhattan to get a haircut across town.

We couldn’t do our Don Siegel retrospective without reviewing the film that features one of the international icons of popular cinema… Clint Eastwood plays “Dirty” Harry Callahan a rebellious San Francisco police homicide inspector who is investigating the killing of a woman by a serial killer called Scorpio (Andrew Robinson) a character who was inspired by the real Zodiac killer that was from the same area. Harry’s wreckless methods of [read...] 
What better time to re-release Steven Spielberg’s 1975 blockbuster classic than at the height of the summer? It is legendary today as the movie that nearly sank his career due to the myriad of production problems with the mechanical shark they nicknamed “Bruce” (after his lawyer). The rookie filmmaker later had to employ more Hitchcockian techniques to make the movie work the way it did. I think it’s safe to [read...] |
