“Kong: Skull Island (2017)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror March 11, 2017"Kong: Skull Island" is a highly entertaining creature feature, but isn't striving to be the dramatic tragedy that the original "King Kong" was, so should not be judged as such. -
“Lifeforce (1985)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror March 7, 2017“Lifeforce” has its moments and sports some great visuals. But Hooper's vision seems to have been lost underneath heaps of bad writing, convoluted subplots and bad actors. -

The Top 9 Movies That Tried to Redeem 2016.
Posted by MartialHorror January 15, 2017I was originally going to write a foreword about how 2016 was a terrible year, but I am already sick of hearing that, so I’m going to embrace a different perspective. 2016 was an…interesting…learning experience. On a personal level- the year drew attention to my strengths, weaknesses, potential, limitations and unhealthy obsession with the “Carnosaur” trilogy. Yes, I felt the collective dread when a clown masquerading as a Politician somehow became the President-elect of the United States. But I’ve now learned the importance of understanding the political landscape, so we can hopefully avoid these kinds of mistakes in the future. Yet I have also come to the realization that it’s just as important to understand those you don’t agree with, as hostile generalizations will only drive us further apart. I’ve even learned that the mental image of a shirtless Putin bending Trump over his Oval Office Desk is very contagious and this sentence may cause an epidemic. But on a more bittersweet note, 2016 taught me it was time to move on… From reviewing… I know, I know, this is obviously the most devastating news of 2016, but hear me out.

“Rise of the Legend (2014)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror December 14, 2016"Rise of the Legend" asks the question of 'Can sheer entertainment value overcome any obstacle?'. There are so many problems with this movie and I still had a lot of fun with it, so...yes...it can...and in hindsight, that is a pretty stupid question considering that cinema mostly exists for our entertainment. -
“Tremors 5: Bloodlines (2015)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror November 30, 2016"Tremors 5" is actually a decent sequel, which might sound like an impossible sentence to form after you discover that Jamie Kennedy and the guy who directed "Lake Placid: The Final Chapter", "Who's Your Caddy?", "Kindergarten Cop 2", "Sniper: Legacy", "Sniper: Ghost Shooter", "Jarhead 2: They'll Make A Sequel Out Of Anything" are both involved, yet it is.
