The Passion Of Darkly Noon (1995)
Woah — I’d never heard of this movie before Arrow Video sent it my way. Darkly Noon (Brendan Fraser) is the sole survivor of a military-style attack on an isolated religious community — think Waco. As he wanders the forest in a daze, he is taken in by Callie (Ashley Judd). Darkly finds himself feeling […]
xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)
Despite 12 years between movies, Xander Cage being supposedly killed off and mixed reviews, this movie film grossed over $346 million worldwide on an $85 million budget, making it the highest-grossing film of the entire franchise.

xXx: State of the Union (2005)

Then the Maysles Brothers upped the […]

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
There had not been a James Bond movie for three years. Seeing as how The Man with the Golden Gun did so poorly with audiences and critics, this movie would be very important to the franchise. After all, it would be the first since the departure of producer Harry Saltzman, who was sold his half […]
