Red Sun (1971) Review With Clip!

June 26th 2010 20:40

This movie had four of the biggest stars in the world, whoever casted this movie must have had some rolidex,

Here in the States, Father's day was this past weekend and I headed over to my father's place with my two brothers with some baby swiss and trail bologna and spent some time with him I realize much of my eccentricity comes from my father, while he's a bit more a practical guy, I realized just recently my love of movies was garnered mainly from him. My father loves westerns and classic adventure films, especially the Tarzan films (He preferred Johnny Weissmuller over Buster Crabbe and I gotta agree with him). Watching films with my Dad was always fun, he knew things about what happened behind the scenes, and while he's not nearly as obsessive as I am about knowing the story behind movies his little factoids about moves he liked always seemed to make a movie more fun to watch.

I've always had a close relationship with my father, but I don't think we've ever connected more over a movie than when I came into the living room one day and saw him watching “Red Sun”. Now, at first glance, I thought it just another western until I caught sight of Toshiro Mifune in full samurai Garb. Now I was intrigued, Dad knew I was into martial arts and Japanese culture and my father loved westerns so I sat down and watch. “Red Sun” is perhaps one of the most interesting, international samurai/western films ever made. It stars American superstar Charles Bronson, Swiss actress Ursula Andress, Alain Deleon from France and UK actor Terrance Young and of course veteran of “The Seven Samurai” the aforementioned Toshiro Mifune. As far as I can tell, this movie is one of first attempts and melding eastern and western film making, telling a story that unifies both genres well

Ravenous (1999) Review

May 21st 2010 02:41

Cannibalism, has there ever been a more disgusting, yet appealing plot for a horror film? It's such a taboo subject it's almost guaranteed to get an audience squirming in disgust. From the despicable Hannibal Lecter, to the unfortunate documentarians of “Cannibal Holocaust” Hollywood has had a mixed relationship with this particular social taboo. The majority of the time, cannibalism plays a part in nightmarish horror/crime films or unintentionally hilarious grind house

At one point, production was halted becuase they ran out of fake blood . . .yeah

films. It's certainly hard to stand out in this crowd, but today's movie, “Ravenous” is a bizarre movie in no matter what crowd it's in.
“Ravenous” is the story of US army officer Jon Boyd, who fearing death cowardly played dead during a battle in the Mexican-American war. He found himself in a pile of dead soldiers behind enemy lines, and due to an unexplained burst of courage and energy, takes the Mexican command post. Knowing that Boyd wasn't really a hero, his superior officer punishes him by sending him to a remote mountain fort, populated by stoners, drunks, rejects and crazies who were likely assigned there to get them out of the way, similar to Boyd himself. Wintering in the distant mountain outpost isolated from support, the group rescues a frostbitten traveler who tells them a grisly story of survival and cannibalism. To give away any more would ruin plenty of well timed surprises so let's just say that by the end of this movie everyone at that fort winds up on the buffet, or standing in line with a plate.
As much as the film turns your stomach, it's dark sense of humor will have you laughing uncomfortably during what should be the movie's most tense moments. Often what your seeing is so absurd, disgusting, and believable you can't help but chuckle. The film's bizarre soundtrack is a mix of bluegrass, jazz and Native American chants, (I'm not joking) courtesy of “Foster's Social Orchestra” an experimental musical group. This soundtrack is odd, unsettling and surprisingly catchy, perfectly setting the mood for the grandiose horror of the film

Bucket Movies Presents: Rush Hour 3

March 29th 2009 13:47

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker team up for a third time in Rush Hour 3. Chan didn't bring his awesome kung-fu moves, but Tucker didn't forget to bring his loud, annoying mouth.

It’s a well known rule in the magical world of movies the third film of a franchise is going to suck – 95% of the time. There have been a few good third movies in trilogies before: Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones for example. Terminator 3 was good; a clone of number two yes but it wasn’t terrible. It’s like an unwritten rule in Hollywood that if you are going to direct a series of movies, you must try and make the third movie blow. Even Christoper Nalon, the awesome director of Batman Begins and the Dark Knight, was quoting saying he might not make a third Batman movie in his series because “how many good third movies are out there

Roadhouse - Synopsis

August 13th 2008 09:05

Don't give me that "How can this be considered a crap movie when it was a bad movie

Once upon a time there was an asshole called James Dalton who worked as the head of an elite bouncer team of a club called ‘The Band Stand’. This is the 1980’s so there’s a lot of one hit wonders playing while people dance like idiots to the funky beats. Unfortunately no one is on crack so they are dancing normally which is scary. We get a face full of the symbols from the 80’s; money and sex and there’s a lot of it. Well there isn’t sex since it’s a nightclub not a brothel though they didn’t go to the toilets which is normally where the action takes place
