Bio
I've moved on to making YT vids but this is a nice old treasure trove and example of process an iteration. These reviews are terrible from a structural and tonal perspective, but they're a reminder of how far I've come content wise since.

The Corndog Man
Independent films, for quite some time, have been seen as an alternative film genre that tells off kilter and taboo stories you don't normally see in wide release movies. Unfortunately, indie films have also earned a bad reputation for being vapid art that is offensive for offensiveness' sake, and it's on this side of the genre hemisphere we find The Corndog Man.

Samurai Cop Review [Minor Spoilers]
Level of insanity from 1 to 10? This one goes to 11. When you think crazy B action movies, you think of the 80's and 90's, ninjas, big muscles, big guns, ditzy female characters, bad plot, and shoddy technical work. The 1991 film Samurai Cop captures every one of these aspects in spades; whether it's intentional or not is up for debate.

Riki Oh: The Story of Ricky
Alot of B martial arts/action movies suffer from a key flaw; taking themselves too seriously. Instead of embracing the fact that these movies are ridiculous, they try to add complex plot twists or deep character development which always comes off very hoaky and forced. Nobody is expecting an Oscar performance in a movie where you main character kills fifty people with his bare hands, and Riki Oh: The Story of Riki realizes that.

Ninja Terminator the Craziest Movie You've Never Heard Of
There's almost no way to review the movie Ninja Terminator because it makes no F**king sense. There is a reason for that though, and it's because two completely unrelated movies were spliced together and voice dubbed to create the weirdest, worst, yet at times most badass martial arts movies.

Bloodfist 2050 Review [Spoilers]
If you ever wondered what a Skinemax produced tournament fighter movie would be like, wonder no more. After watching Riki Oh, one of the most over-the-top gorefest martial arts movies I've ever seen( and I've seen Raid 1 and 2), it only seemed fitting to keep diving into the realm of kung fu shlock and to that end we have Bloodfist 2050 also known as Street Fighter 2050.

Top 5 British Gangsters
These are all just my opinion. 5) Bullet Tooth Tony (Snatch) Alright, Tony is an extension of the underrated henchmen segment as well but couldn't put him on that list because of how he ends up biting the bullet, pun completely intended. Played to perfection by hard man Vinnie Jones and with an awesome origin story explaining his nickname. He's probably the suavest and most menacing looking I've seen in a British gangster film and efficient. Like Doug the heads girls said, "He'll find you Moses and a burning bush if you pay him to." If I want a total badass to get the job done in London I'd take Bullet tooth Tony any day over Michael Canes Jack Carter.

Top 5 Movie Cowboys
TOP 5 MOVIE COWBOYS (these are all in my opinion) 5) Mr.Gruder from Bone Tomahawk Not many movies feature a Pinkerton as a character. They were known as the badasses of law enforcement back in the day, and John Gruder played by Matthew Fox is a Pinkerton through and through. No nonsense, strategic minded, and cold blooded. The most emotion shown from him is for his horse. Almost every character in Bone Tomahawk is likeable but Gruder's well-mannered ways and smugness are what set him apart from the pack and you begin wondering what western featuring only Gruder would be like. Probably bloody as hell.
