    An action film directed by a woman

    That dude took his last crap!

    The second best bee attack scene from a picture set entirely on an island.

    An action film starring Richard Ng

    Three Sammos for the price of one! Lots of questionable comedy filtered through incomprehensible subtitles, but of course the fight scenes are top-notch.

    ★★★½

    Woovember 2023: Film #21
    An action film starring Jim Brown

    It's an old slave name. I had an ancestor who was entrusted enough to carry a white man's gun. The only word that his master ever said to him was "Gun." You know, if he'd been more conversational, I might have been called "Gimme-de-Gunn".

    There's a fight scene in which Jim Brown's shirt gets ripped so he steals the other guy's shirt. Later on he finds an important clue in the pocket. I guess that's what people mean when they say only want nudity if it moves the plot forward.

    An action film starring Hiroyuki Sanada

    We are all born naked and die naked. In the meantime, all we do is work, eat, shit, and sleep.

    This picture has everything: ninjas, pirates, cowboys, even Mark Twain!

    I am the ambulance!

    I don't know why I keep falling for the Bay hype.

    Get this trash off my lawn!

    A greatest hits compilation of every iconic scene from every Die Hard knock-off.

    ★★★

    Woovember 2023: Film #16
    An action film starring Treat Williams

    Low on action and not all that eductional. The stuff Treat Williams says about the history of the yo-yo appears to be mostly bullshit.

    ★★★★½

    Woovember 2023: Film #15
    An action film directed by Gore Verbinski

    I think you're giving him a little too much credit. Mice don't mock. They don't have a sense of humor or irony. He's not sitting in his hole in a smoking jacket sipping cognac, and giggling to himself, "I left the pit!".

    Die Hard on a mouse.

  • Jack Frost 2: The Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman

    Jack Frost 2: The Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman

    ★★★

    Jack Frost Goes Hawaiian. Too bad he never got to go to space.

    ★½

    If you like inaudible dialog and endless scenes of furries dancing, I've found the perfect picture for you...

    This makes me appreciate Charles Band's recycling projects even more.
