“Dracula Untold (2014)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror October 12, 2014"Dracula Untold" is definitely a case of style over substance, except the style itself is pretty underwhelming. -
“South Shaolin vs. North Shaolin (1984)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror October 8, 2014"South Shaolin Vs North Shaolin" might offer fire breathing ninja and drag queen ghost people, but it's just not very fun. I spent the majority of my viewing experience trying to figure out what in the hell was going on! -
“Unleashed (2005)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror September 4, 2014"Unleashed" (starring Jet Li) has a special place in my heart because it's one of the few successful examples of a martial arts movie reaching out to a different crowd and satisfying everyone in the process. -
“The Expendables 3 (2014)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror August 18, 2014To call "The Expendables 3" bloated is an understatement, even if some of that fat is pretty tasty. -
“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror August 10, 2014Regardless of whether the writers, directors, actors, editors, cinematographers or producers have any talent or skill, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is not a real movie. It's a two hour long commercial for the tie-in merchandise, which we're supposed to buy. -
“Seven Swords (2005)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror July 28, 2014Personally, I felt "Seven Swords" came from Tsui Hark's bowels rather than his brain and I have no idea what the appeal is supposed to be. Yes, it's passable- and sometimes even exceptional- on a technical level but it suffers from every problem which usually accompanies films that were intended to be four hours long. -
“The Purge: Anarchy (2014)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror July 19, 2014"The Purge: Anarchy" ended up being pretty entertaining. I'm not calling it a good movie, but I thought it was more fun than the previous film and it explored the admittedly creative idea a little bit more too. -
“Forbidden City Cop (1996)” movie review.
Posted by MartialHorror July 13, 2014But those who understand my tastes know that I'm tired of the ordinary, conventional flicks that take no risks, so "Forbidden City Cop" immediately got into my pants with its strangeness. But the unique fight scenes and hilarious comedic antics seduced me into a satisfying relationship. -
“Deliver Us From Evil (2014)” movie review
Posted by MartialHorror July 8, 2014"Deliver us From Evil" doesn't contain a single original idea, other than maybe making Joel McHale into a bad-ass, but it takes those familiar possession concepts and blends them with the clichés of a gritty police drama. This mating of genres is fairy unique and it helps that they have chemistry together, making the film seem more original than it really is.
