“The Shallows (2016)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror July 2, 2016"The Shallows" seems to be an attempt to forge a marriage between critic friendly drama ("Open Water"?) and plebeian friendly entertainment ("Shark Night"?), although the relationship ends up being somewhat turbulent, if passionate. -
“Lady Snowblood (1973)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror June 26, 2016I had liked "Lady Snowblood" during my initial viewing, but I think I only enjoyed it on a superficial level, believing it to be exploitation packaged as art. I was paying so much attention to the violence, sex and style that I overlooked the depth to be found within the story, characters and visuals. -

“Armour of God 2: Operation Condor (1991)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror May 29, 2016"Operation Condor" was made during the perfect time period, as Jackie Chan had enough experience as a director, his star power allowed for massive budgets and he was still young enough to defy God and gravity with his jaw dropping stunts. It was the perfect storm for greatness. -

“The Armour of God (1986)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror May 17, 2016I don't think "Armour of God" is among Jackie's best films, but it is a solid representation of his works from the 1980's. -
“Riot (2015)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror May 10, 2016"Riot" is bad, but not THAT bad and might even provide some surface level entertainment for a handful of viewers. Even though I was mentally acknowledging its army of failures, I never became bored, annoyed or angry. I was just very, very indifferent.
