Tubi picks (week eleven)
Man, there’s so much on Tubi. Here are ten more movies you should check out. Let me know if you’d like to contribute. 1. Mardi Gras Massacre: TUBI LINK One of the original video nasties, this movie is pretty much Blood Feast on Bourbon Street. If you were thinking of getting the Severin blu ray, check […]
The Duke of Burgundy (2014)
Peter Strickland — who directed and wrote this film — also made In Fabric and Berberian Sound Studio, two movies that felt like they were not of our time. This movie isn’t just in the world of Jess Franco; it was nearly a remake of the Spanish director’s Lorna the Exorcist. The difference is that where Franco would […]
Sworn to Justice (1996)
Janna (Cynthia Rothrock) sustains a head injury by falling off a roof after masked men kill her sister and nephew. This ends up not only putting her in the hospital, but it also gives her psychic powers — yes! — and also has her still making one-liners and enjoying two very long lovemaking scenes — hey […]
Honor and Glory (1992)
Known as Zong heng tian xia, this was directed by Godfrey Ho and written by one and done screenwriter Herb Borkland. It stars Cynthia Rothrock as FBI agent Tracy Pride, who like many a Rothrock character is hunting an evil banker. She’s also backed up by her sister Joyce (Donna Jason, who was also the film’s […]

No offense to directors Ryan Imhoff (who also wrote the script and plays The Stranger) and Matt Neal, but I’m on Microsoft Teams all day for work and struggle to […]
When Darkness Falls (2022)
When traveling across the Scottish Highlands, one-time friends Jess (Michaela Longden) and Andrea (Emma O’Hara) reconnect before they get separated after a night at a pub and a meet-up with Nate (director Nathan Shepka) and Tommy (Craig McEwan). Feeling something is off, she decides to go on ahead, but then realizes that she needs to […]
Martial Law 2: Undercover (1991)
Detective Sean Thompson is no longer Chad McQueen, now he’s Jeff Wincott, but Billie Blake is still Cynthia Rothrock and that’s the whole reason why I’m watching this. This time, they’re on the case of Club Syntax where the elite get favors from beautiful women while being protected by numerous martial arts masters who are […]
