Soon-Tek Oh in East of Eden (1981)

This Underrated Action Franchise Has a Stacked Cast of Famous Actors
Image
The Death Wish franchise, which began in 1974 and is based on a novel of the same name, has featured plenty of famous actors. Recognizable faces like Jeff Goldblum appear in cameos and antagonist roles, adding depth and diversity to the cast. The 2018 reboot sticks to the original's core, with Bruce Willis leading as Kersey & familiar faces like Elisabeth Shue starring.

The Death Wish franchise is thematically tricky, especially in an age where people truly seem to end debates with bullets as often as words. However, Brian Garfield's novel and its sequel, Death Sentence, are far more inclined to express repulsion towards unnecessary violence than admiration. Can the same be said for the films, which made the character of Paul Kersey more and more of a typical action hero? Not exactly.

The original Death Wish (1974), starring Charles Bronson, toes the line. That is, compared to the four Bronson-led sequels. The...

Florence Pugh to Star in ‘East of Eden’ Netflix Limited Series From Zoe Kazan
Image
Netflix is developing a new limited series adaptation of John Steinbeck’s “East of Eden,” Variety has confirmed.

The series, which is still in early development, will be written and executive produced by Zoe Kazan, whose grandfather, Elia Kazan, helmed the 1955 film adaptation of Steinbeck’s novel. Florence Pugh is attached to star in the series, though the character she will play remains unconfirmed. Anonymous Content and Endeavor Content will co-produce the series.

Published in 1952, Steinbeck’s “East of Eden” is set in California’s Salinas Valley over a period that stretches from the Civil War to the end of World War I. The epic novel tells the interconnected stories of the Hamilton family, an Irish immigrant family with nine children, and the Trask family, lead by the wealthy Adam Trask. The story eventually narrows its focus to center around the Trask family and the drama surrounding Adam, his wife...

James Bond Retrospective: The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)
To mark the 50th Anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and with filming well underway on James Bond’s 23rd official outing in Skyfall due for release later this year, I have been tasked with taking a retrospective look at the films that turned author Ian Fleming’s creation into one of the most recognised and iconic characters in film history.

With Roger Moore well and truly established in the lead role after just one film, work began on a follow-up to Live And Let Die almost as soon as it was released into cinemas. Keen to capitalise on the renewed success of the character, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman chose Fleming’s final Bond novel, The Man With The Golden Gun as their ninth film featuring the British secret agent.

With the novel taking place largely in Jamaica, it was felt...

Action Packed Flashback – Missing in Action II: The Beginning
Only one man has ever went toe-to-toe with the legendary Bruce Lee, while living to tell about it and that was Chuck Norris in Return of the Dragon. The always calm and cool Chuck Norris has since become the idealization of a bad-ass thanks to popular culture of Chuck Norris Facts and a few really good commercials, and yet when we quote these:

Chuck Norris was once shot. The bullet died.

When Chuck Norris calls 911 it’s to ask if everything is okay.

Have action fans forgot you don’t get cool by being cool, you earn it, and Chuck Norris officially started to earn his coolness factor in a series of Cannon Films productions during the mid-1980s, namely the Missing in Action series, a deeply personal set of action films for Norris. Killer Film is back with another Action Packed Flashback with director Lance Hool on his Missing in Action II: The Beginning.

Cinematical (Double-o) Seven: Reasons to Love Even the Least of the James Bond Films
A love affair with the James Bond series is like a marriage; it's for life, and it's definitely a "richer or poorer, better or worse" proposition. Some days you get Casino Royale (2006) or Goldfinger (1964), where everything is bliss, but then other days you get Grace Jones or a cameo from Madonna or someone named "Christmas Jones." Some days are Connery and some are Lazenby. Some days your director is Guy Hamilton or Martin Campbell, and some days your director is John Glen or Marc Forster. But, like a diamond, the imperfections are what make it all worthwhile. From among the dregs, then, here are a few of my favorite things: 1. The entire supporting cast in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)

I confess it's one of the weakest Roger Moore entries, but come on! Motherf---in' Christopher "Dracula/Dooku/Saruman" Lee is the bad guy! And Hervé Villechaize as his diminutive villainous sidekick!
