Donnie Yen is a highly accomplished Hong Kong action star. He’s made many acclaimed action films such as Ip Man and Hero and is among the ranks of Jackie Chan and Jet Li and yet I’d never seen one of his films. I’ve made it my mission to see a handful of them. I had already seen most of Ip Man so I decided to start with Flash Point and [read...] 
John Woo’s 1993 furious action classic HARD TARGET marked his debut as an American filmmaker and was my introduction his work. I remember reading about the film when it was released and my curiosity was stirred when star Jean Claude Van Damme referred to Woo as “the Martin Scorsese of Hong Kong”. The opening of the film gets the action rolling fast as we witness a high stakes game of [read...]

Over the years there’s been lots of movies that I’ve heard great things about then finally watched and either was a) impressed by them or b) found them completely overrated (a word I don’t like to use often). One of those many films would be Monte Hellman’s Two Lane-Blacktop (1971). As a fan of both road movies and “carsploitation” films I knew the cult reputation it had. I think my [read...] 
The classic 1972 action-thriller DELIVERANCE was based on a book by author James Dickey (look for a cameo by him in the film as the suspicious Sheriff). The story focuses on four friends, Lewis (Burt Reynolds), Ed (Jon Voight), Drew (Ronny Cox) and Bobby (Ned Beatty) who take a weekend canoe trip down the (fictional) Cahulawassee river in the wilds of rural Georgia.

His works are very varied, ranging from 28 Days Later (2002) an infected people thriller to Sunshine (2007) a sci-fi adventure film to Slumdog Millionaire (2008) a feel good drama. This time the story is true which is incredible. It is a very interesting one and I think that the test for any movie inspired by real life [read...] |
