Hold on to your nunchucks, because Enter the Dragon is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  A genre-blending movie that reshaped the cinematic landscape, Enter the Dragon is the film that made Bruce Lee a legend.  While parts of it may seem hokey today, the Enter the Dragon remains consistently entertaining nearly four decades after its original release.

Magnificent Martial Violence!

Posted on August 26, 2012 by gooberzilla

Sharpen your machetes, because The Raid: Redemption is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring guest hosts Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder and Rachel Pandich, author of Aspire.

Review in a Nutshell:  An Indonesian martial arts movie written and directed by a Welsh man, The Raid: Redemption is not just a typical action movie.  It blends drama and suspense with some of the most breath-taking and technically accomplished fight choreography in recent cinema history to create a tight, tense, thoroughly engrossing experience.

Good-bye, Legacy.

Hold onto your golden tickets, because Last Action Hero is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring shameless Last Action Hero apologist, Sean ‘Hollywood’ Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  Part meta-narrative.  Part satire of violent Eighties action movies.  Part heart-warming children’s film.  Last Action Hero is a film with an identity crisis.

Charles Bronson Wins the War on Drugs

Beware of exploding wine bottles, because Death Wish 4: The Crackdown is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder and Olie aka “InvidNinja”. from the Welcome to the Brain Palace podcast.

Review in a Nutshell:  Few action movies encapsulate the anti-drug anxieties of the Eighties quite like Death Wish 4: The Crackdown, which also features roller skating arcades, fish-smuggling, and multiple exploding villains.

World’s Smuggest Indian?

Posted on September 16, 2011 by gooberzilla

Call in the cavalry, because Navajo Joe is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

(NOTE:  The audio quality suffers a bit in this one.  I just moved and some switches got flipped, and the Skype conference was plagued with technical difficulties.  Apologies.)

Review in a Nutshell:  Navajo Joe puts the ”spa” in Spaghetti Western.  Replete with inconsistent Spanish geography and Italian banditos, it’s the film Burt Reynolds wishes everyone would forget.

Ax Dancing, Sexy Robots, Rambo, Red Sonja?

Remember to eat your fruit and vegetables, because Cobra is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder.

Review in a Nutshell:  There are some movies that define an era, embedding themselves in the fabric of popular media and influencing later films for decades to come.  And there are films like Cobra, which encapsulate the craziest elements of an entire period in film and then are promptly, tragically forgotten.

This movie contains:

Killer Nerds?

Practical Solutions in Cutlery.

Fast Food Atrocities.

Sexy Robots?

FINAL THOUGHT:

Behold, the infamous music video montage!

Robot Rumble in the Jungle

Posted on April 7, 2011 by gooberzilla

Set up your hilarious jungle booby-traps, because Solo is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  Solo may have a cliche premise (“creating the ultimate super-soldier”), but the movie is well-acted and well-executed.  It’s got great stunts, solid special effects, and an interesting setting, too.  Also, Adrien Brody!?!

Cage Rage: Fire Birds

Posted on July 31, 2010 by gooberzilla

Hide your periscopes and ladies underwear, because Fire Birds is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Eeeper of the Eeeper’s Choice Podcast.

Review in a Nutshell:  Fire Birds tries to be Top Gun with helicopters instead of fighter jets and South American drug lords instead of the U.S.S.R.  It doesn’t really work, but did you just see that freakin’ chopper explode?

This movie contains:

Bored Cage.

Sulky Cage.

 

Sleazy Cage.

 

Trust us, it’s for SCIENCE!

FINAL THOUGHT:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Fat Man in Trenchcoat with Sword, Killing Vampires

Posted on June 19, 2009 by gooberzilla

Hold onto your viscera, because Against the Dark is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell:  A messy, straight-to-DVD action / horror movie, Against the Dark begs the question:  Which is the real lumbering, undead monster?  A vampire?  Or Steven Seagal’s career?

John Cena loves Explosions

Posted on March 12, 2009 by gooberzilla

Strap on your explosion-proof T-shirt, because The Marine is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell:  The Marine is a throwback to an earlier era in action movies, when the heroes were nigh-invulnerable and the mayhem was constant.  I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This photo demonstrates both John Cena’s incredible ‘Angry Face’ and his initiative in creative war-paint design.
