Valentines Day is the time when the geekiest of geeks turn to thoughts of romance and matters of the heart. Throughout the years movies have become a big part of that celebration, for instance you may go to dinner then watch a favorite film with the special someone in your life. For our latest list I’ve chosen 10 titles that are a mix of traditional and non traditional “romantic” themed [read...] 
Fernando DiLeo wrote and directed some of the best works in the poliziotteschi (Italian crime) genre. Films like Milano Calibro 9, La Mala Ordina, Mr. Scarface and Il Boss gave viewers a very clear look at mafia life in 1970s Italy. To me DiLeo did for poliziotteschi what Leone did for spaghetti westerns, in that he brought an extremely vivid, stylized atmosphere to the genre. His brand of filmmaking as [read...] 
Douglas Hickox’s British cult crime thriller Sitting Target (1972) along with Get Carter (1971) and Villain (1971) was a film that garnered a strong reputation for its seedy, hardboiled depictions of London underworld criminals. Oliver Reed plays Harry Lomart a convicted murderer who is planning to bust out of prison with the help of his fellow jailmate and longtime friend Birdy (Ian McShane). Before Harry leaves, [read...]

Sometimes you just want to watch a mad as hell film crammed with revenge, fighting, blazing guns and general furiosity. In Taken we got that in spades. Liam Neeson played a guy whose daughter is kidnapped while on a vacation in Europe and he has to find her. The catch being he wasn’t just some normal goofy dad, he was a master counter-terrorism/intel expert with a myriad of tools at [read...] 
BEWARE OF BAT-SPOILERS!!! INTRODUCTION: I grew up on Batman beginning with reading the comics and graphic novels (my favorites of those being The Dark Knight Returns, Son of Demon and The Killing Joke). At a young age I also watched reruns of the 1960s TV series which starred Adam West as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Burt Ward as his faithful ward/sidekick Dick Grayson/Robin. That show was the definition of the word [read...] 
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS! Taken stars Liam Neeson and I think this is his best role. He’s done a bunch of crappy movies in his time, but he can still be awesome as long as he’s in a good movie like this one. The basic plot is that Neeson plays a man named Bryan Mills whose daughter goes to Paris and gets kidnapped and he has [read...] 
“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...] 
After directing the low budget cult classics Evil Dead 1 and 2, Director Sam Raimi signed on to make his first big studio feature. It was a film based on a short story he wrote that paid tribute to some of his favorite Universal horror films such as The Invisible Man and Frankenstein. Darkman was a blending of the crime, horror, comedy and super hero genres that exploded onto the [read...] 
Fresh off the success of the award winning masterpiece The Godfather (1972), Robert Duvall took a role in this film playing Earl Macklin, a convict who is being released back into society after a stretch in prison. Macklin doesn’t know yet that as he’s breathing in the fresh air of freedom, his brother Eddie has been shot down at his farmhouse by two hitmen. Macklin is picked up by his [read...] |
