Extraction (II) (2013)

Action the way it should be.

[10/10 · 21 October 2013]

I have seen action on screen in all its forms. Whether it was Bruce Willis fighting Germans in a building or Steven Seagal killing rouge Navy Mercenaries on a boat, I've seen it. However for the past few years, aside from legendary actioneers like Stallone or Schwarzenegger keeping the genre alive, action film have gone really downhill. It is a category of film making that has almost disappeared entirely because of guys like Peter Berg and Louis Leterrier, who instead of having quality actors doing real stunts in places other people wouldn't think possible, they place pretty boys like Jamie Foxx and Sam Worthington into lackluster scenarios and just let their doubles do the work while they capture the "action" with the most annoyingly shaky camera work in order to make the action more "realistic." Ironically enough however, in reality, its all BS. Now in comes Tony Giglio, writer and director of the amazingly underrated 2005 action thriller Chaos, with his new film Extraction, a old-school die hard action film that pulls no punches, literately. The fight sequences make guys like Jason Bourne look too liberal. It is hard to believe a film that was shot in 18 days and made on only a million dollars could come out this good and deliver action as rock solid as this. With almost no CGI and some of the greatest martial art scenes ever filmed, fans of the right kind of action movies will dig Extraction. With cool performances by Vinnie Jones and Jon Foo, this is Die Hard meets Delta Force meets the Raid: Redemption. In summation folks, why Tony Giglio isn't directing Expendables 3, I'll never know.

Zombies Vs. Strippers (2012)

Blood, Boobs, and Badassness

[8/10 · 6 September 2013]

Hot chicks and bloody carnage, what more could you want? I hear people all the time say that Zombies Vs. Strippers just ripped off that Robert Englund movie Zombie Strippers, but honestly I thought Zombie Strippers took itself way too serious. Zombie vs. Strippers starts off goofy and doesn't let up. You go into this wanting blood, babes, badassness and that is what you get. This is good old-fashion cheesy zombie horror. Also, I thought that Circus-Szalewski, who plays the owner of the strip club does an amazing job. Do I need to explain the plot? It's Zombie Vs. Strippers, it's simple bloody horror at its finest. Plus, there's plenty of boobs and you can't go wrong with that.

Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver (2011)

This is the way a cookie should crumble

[7/10 · 6 September 2013]

I have seen all the Gingerdead man movies and thought this one kicked some serious ass. Maybe it was not as good as part two, but it delivered on what is promised. The homicidal cookie goes knife on a bunch of 70s roller-skating junkies. That's right this one involves time-travel. TIME TRAVEL! That is what the first two were missing. Plus Hitler saves the day at the end. Its so right, but so right. I also think that Gary Busy, that beautiful SOB needs to come back as the cookie monster. Full Moon does it again with the best series since the Puppet Master series. Can you image a Gingerdead Man Vs. Puppet Master movie. Now their would be something to see.
