    Regardless of the behind-the-scenes drama and negative reception, I was intrigued because I wanted to see Wesley Snipes killing intelligent zombies in a western setting. When I put the feature into my DVD player, my opinions kept changing rather erratically. “Gallowwalkers” actually does contain a lot of good stuff, enough to where you might think you’re in for a solid flick. But just as hope swells within you, the film drives you face first into a brick wall. It hurts.

    I HATED “El Gringo”. It is one of those special films where everything is so obnoxious that it becomes unnecessary to criticize the braindead love story, the clichéd plot twists, the Mexican stereotypes and the unoriginal story…because there is SO much more to hate about this movie. Scott Adkins, I do still love you, but this sucked.

    If Orson Welles was alive today and he saw "Dead Sushi", he would hang his head in shame. For all of his accomplishments in story-telling and technical innovations, he never understood the importance of 'fire-breathing, killer mutant zombie sushi' in a dramatic narrative. But to be fair, "Dead Sushi" is the greatest movie of all time, so maybe I shouldn't expect as much from lesser directors.

    “Maximum Conviction” is actually fairly decent. However, Steven Seagal deserves none of the credit here. The weight of the feature is held up by the supporting cast, the writer and the director. If anything, Seagal kept "Maximum Conviction" from reaching its full potential. Then again, watching him play off of Stone Cold Steve Austin is...interesting. So his presence wasn't a total loss.

    "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning" is insane. Yeah, I know I've said that about movies before, but I was being liberal with that definition. I had just meant past films were wild and chaotic. "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning" is less the 'wild and chaotic' version of insanity, and more the...'it cuts off its penis and presents it to you as a gift' kind of insane.
