RA / BRD

The honorable grandmaster of Wing Chun Kung Fu, Ip Man, is the pride of Fo Shan and the man to test your martial arts skills against.  Ip Man is based on the true story of the title characters life in Fo Shan and his struggles during the Japanese occupancy of China.  As the factories shut down and the population dwindles, starvation sets in and even the most prosperous of citizens are forced into poverty and fighting for their next meal.

Unfortunately no back story is given on the origins of Wing Chun (crosses fingers for Ip Man 2), however that knowledge is not required to immerse yourself in this wonderful Continue reading »

R2 UK DVD

Mario Bianchi (Son of Roberto Bianchi Montero) is no stranger to sleaze. His career in the Italian smut industry lasted over twenty years and saw him collaborate with one of this films leading cast members on a regular basis; the oh-so-obscene Marina Hedman. Under his Andrew W. Cools pseudonym he gives us Satan’s Baby Doll – a “re-imagining” of Andrea Bianchi’s (no, they’re not brothers) superior Malabimba: The Malicious Whore from 1979. Infamous producer Gabriele Crisanti (once husband of Mariangela Giordano) was responsible for both films, along with other trash classicks like Giallo a Venezia, Patrick Still Lives and Burial Ground; so it gives you an idea of what to expect from the brisk 75 minute runtime Continue reading »

Retired porn actor Milos is offered the chance of a lifetime, to participate in a new genre of Serbian porn, a film that will revolutionize the industry and shake the very world itself.

Once the shoot begins, Milos quickly realizes that this is no ordinary porn production as it’s being filmed verite-style by policemen, his actions are dictated to him through an earpiece and one scene he’s forced to perform in features an underage girl! Unwilling to go any further with his involvement and becoming increasingly disturbed by the Continue reading »

Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2: Unrated & Underrated

Theatrical Poster

No figure in the horror film world appears to be as polarizing as Rob Zombie.  On one end of the spectrum we find the haters who dismiss Zombie’s work as depiction of trailer trash who can do very little other than spout profanity and engage in random bouts of hysteria.  This group in particular views his remake of John Carpenter’s classic, Halloween, as bordering on sacrilegious.  The other group appreciates Zombie’s work and often his fusion of 70’s style with contemporary directorial approaches such as that of Fernando Meirelles.  In spite of being labeled as nothing more than rabid fanboys, this group will attest to their analysis of Zombie and how it shows that there is more depth and critical thinking displayed in his films than one usually finds in Continue reading »

100% Classic!

After an accidental nuke strike (thanks to America again!) in the Arctic, a deep fissure is opened and an ancient prehistoric creature, a Gamera, emerges from its depths! This Gamera, a massive turtle-like creature, descends upon Tokyo with all of its stomping, flying, fire-breathing might. After a couple unsuccessful attempts to stop the rampaging creature, the scientific community and Japanese government decide there is only one way to halt the creature’s advance…set Z Plan into motion!

What the hell is Z Plan, you ask? Well you’re just going to have to purchase Shout Factory’s fantastic release of Gamera to find out now aren’t Continue reading »

Sweet...and shitty?

Three young women and a nosey investigative journalist are kidnapped by an international white slavery ring and smuggled into Southeast Asia for a black market auction. Thankfully their captivity doesn’t last as a ex-pat scoundrel with a heart of gold sticks his neck out for the girls and helps them escape and evade capture. Instead of taking the opportunity to leave, the determined journalist decides to remain behind and bring the pain in order to find out whether her daughter is dead or alive and where she’s located at!

You’d think an action film featuring Nancy Allen (Robocop 1-3) as the machine gun toting heroine with cojones of steel and Martin Landau as the splayfooted villain might end up being nothing more than a shitty 80′s cheesefest Continue reading »
