Review Frenzy (1972): Awful!

genre: drama, thrillerSomehow, I was expecting something more mesmerizing. In my mind, this was Hitchcock going giallo. And that would have been awesome. Why not have the one who influenced giallo so heavily demonstrate what he would do?Well, he didn't. I somehow had convinced myself that Frenzy was a thrilling and twisty affair I still had to watch. Upon watching, I realized I had watched it already,...

Review Death Warrant (1990): Low tier Van Damme!

genre: action, crime, dramaEven back in the day, I considered this mid-tier Van Damme. But after having watched it again today, I might even classify this as low tier Van Damme.I am not entirely sure if prison films were popular, but I do remember that some action flicks were set in a prison in an attempt to increase the tension and thrills. Death Warrant certainly tries this and ups the ante with...

Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025): Entertaining!

genre: comic book adaptation, superhero, action, adventureWasn't too sure about Sam Willis about becoming the new Captain America. But this film does make a good case for him. Maybe they can surprise us and have him take the super serum because the fact that he is simply human is out there in the open. That being said, this part feels tiny compared to previous titles and it's a bit puzzling why that...

Review Django (1966): Classic Spaghetti Western?

genre: western, action, dramaFor some reason, Django is highly revered. But if you are used to the works of Sergio Leone, then Django definitely skimps on a few important elements. Like character study and good story. Not that Leone always had the strongest stories, but they certainly were better constructed.One example is Django himself. Franco Nero looks and acts like Clint Eastwood's man with no...

Review Bat*21 (1988): A little disappointing!

genre: drama, warBack when I rented videotapes from local video rental shops, you would always get previews of upcoming films, and I do remember the trailer for Bat*21 being frequently promoted. And I remember reading in the TV guide that one remarkable element was the code that was used. It consisted of golf terms. They made it seem it was a big deal. Although, I don't think I ever had actually...

Review El Dorado (1966): Now this is a classic!

genre: western, dramaOriginally not intended as one, but gradually this became a loose remake of Rio Bravo. In my opinion, this is the superior film in every way.Why do I think this? Well, for starters, there isn't a boring scene in this film. Every second matters, the pacing is good. The build up to the finale is also done better. Sure, there are slower moments, but none of them dragged and were...
