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 »

Valhalla Rising is a beautiful film, it’s visually one of the most striking I’ve seen this year. Every single frame, every angle, every close-up, it’s like looking at a gorgeous oil painting.

The year of group action films has now begun with the release of The Losers. Now I must first say that I have never read the comic book and didn’t know it was one until the opening credits of the film, so I went into the film with no preconceived notion of what I was about to see except that it was an action film, had Zoe Saldana in it who has not steered me wrong yet, and I thought Robert Downey Jr. was involved until I realized it was his look alike, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I’ll admit, that was kind of a bummer.
The story is the tale of a group of military guys on a mission who were supposed to be killed but survived. Aisha (Zoe Saldana) follows Clay (Morgan) and gives him an offer he couldn’t refuse in finding the man responsible Continue reading »
