Fast Company (1979)
David Paul Cronenberg. The man who gave ex-pornographic actress Marilyn Chambers a vampiric armpit. The man who made us lifelong fans of Micheal Ironside (John Saxon, Part Deux!) when he exploded his head via psychic brain waves. The man who knew we couldn’t pass up a film where Oliver Reed causes Samantha Eggar to “birth” […]
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
We did it! We made it through an entire week of Fast & Furious movies and let me tell you, we saved the best for last. This is a big, dumb, ridicuous and way too overblown action movie and I have to confess, I loved every single minute of it. It was directed by David Leitch, […]
The Fate of the Furious (2017)
Seeing as how this movie grossed $541.9 million worldwide during its opening weekend, we’re not going to see the last of these movies for some time. Interestingly enough, star Vin Diesel was also in the movie that broke that record, Avengers: Infinity War ($640.5 million) and the movie that broke that record, Avengers: Endgame ($1.481 billion). Following the […]
The Wild Racers (1968)
Roger Corman loved making deals to get the movies on the screens. In a deal similar to the one Corman made with Ron Howard years later for Grand Theft Auto, Corman agreed that if John Ireland starred in The Fast and the Furious (1954), the then down-and-out actor could direct the picture. So when Corman […]
Furious 7 (2015)
While the three films took place in a pocket universe — yes, I have thought way too much about these movies — between 2 Fast 2 Furious and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Furious 7 was the first movie to make a step toward the future. However, it would have to do so without series […]
Smokey and the Judge (1980)
From the Editor’s Desk, March 2023: Once again, we were simply crossing off another obscurity from our to-do review list for our “Fast and Furious Week,” itself rife with Smokey and the Bandit ripoffs . . . and now, here we are in 2023 welcoming a restoration-reissue on March 23rd. Dark Force Entertainment‘s latest “Retro […]
Black Moon Rising (1986)
Before Quentin Tarantino*˟ inspired us to run to the movie theatre with anything featuring his name on it — even if he didn’t directed it — there was John Carpenter. For Quentin, the films that took our coin were Natural Born Killers and True Romance. For John Carpenter, we laid the money down for Black […]
