M3gan (2022)
My quick rating - 6.5/10. Entertaining, although an extremely tame horror flick, written in part by James Wan . I am sure that you have a...

The Raid: Redemption (2011)
My quick rating - 7.5/10. (That was from when I watched this in Indonesian with subtitles. I now have a dubbed & uncut version that is eye-friendly, so I'll see if it changes). The story is quite simple. A corrupt police force is sent in to bust a paranoid crime lord's 30-story drug haven. I would love to say I noticed the differences in this uncut version, but I did watch it the first time about a decade ago, so there wasn't anything that jumped out at me. However, that didn

Pussycake (2021)
My quick rating - 5.4/10. Finally got my hands on this one. Hopefully, that trailer I was showing wasn't the only decent part of this flick. This time AppleTV and Amazon are the expensive ones so I won't fault you for checking with Google , Youtube , Vudu or Microsoft for 2 bucks cheaper (but click the poster below just for my numbers) Pussycake (2021) #horror #IMDB #Plex

Exit Humanity (2011)
My quick rating - 5.9/10. Fans of Zombie movies should read this. It will not be what you are expecting. Yes, there are zombies, and yes, they get shot....but this movie is so much more than that. This flick is completely character-driven, and the plot is so much more than a zombie flick. Set just after the Civil War, an unlikely couple ends up trying to save one dude's sister. This movie looks incredible, and the scenes really caught me off guard. The acting is excellent for

Detective Knight: Independence (2023)
My quick rating - 3.7/10. Final flick in the Knight trilogy ( Rogue and Redemption ), and since I have seen the other two, which had some entertainment value, I may as well wrap it up. Hey, look at that, it is Dizzy ( Dina Meyer ) from the cult flick, Starship Troopers . This flick is proving that you cannot take just anyone and make him the villain. Yeah, everyone not named Bruce Willis or Lochlyn Munro in this movie is absolutely worthless, but the kid they picked as the

The Price We Pay (2022)
My quick rating - 5.5/10. Even though he seems like a douche, I have always been a fan of Stephen Dorff , especially after the criminally underrated Botched . Speaking of, this movie has a similar wrong guy at the entirely wrong place vibe, such as that flick had. This time, Dorff is hired to rob a pawn shop, in the middle of some small town, that has 250K in cash (i think that was the amount) on hand. Never mind how there is no WAY in hell they would have that much cash, it

Snow Falls (2023)
My quick rating - 2.3/10. Saw a trailer about a month ago and thought this one was worthy of a look (like I wouldn't have watched it anyway.) You know what would be more exciting than this movie? Staring out the window and watching the SNOW FALL. A group of mostly annoying adults head to a cabin during the winter, but after the power goes out, they start acting like irrational morons. You are supposed to think they are losing their minds, or the snow is inherently evil, but i

Strangeland (1998)
My quick rating - 4.9/10. I don't believe I have seen this since I left the theater. Time to check it out again for my collection. I know if nothing else, the music in this was good stuff. It really was a wasted flick since they could've developed it a lot better than it did. I blame the writing for that since the idea was there. Strangeland (1998) #horror #IMDB #Plex

The Rig (2023)
My quick rating - 6.0/10. Set on a remote Scottish oil rig, The Rig kicks off with an eerie, supernatural premise as a dense fog rolls in, isolating the crew and unleashing forces beyond their comprehension. The show thrives on its claustrophobic setting, creating a palpable sense of dread, with stunning visuals and impressive special effects amplifying the unease. Iain Glen does a good job through both seasons as Magnus, the head honcho of the rig, bringing a steady, command

Pain & Gain (2013)
My quick rating - 6.6/10. Did the Rock appear in every movie throughout the summer of 2013? Anyway, this movie is based on a true story, which makes it that much better when you see it. Reason for this? These "criminals" have to be the dumbest people in the world. The story revolves around 3 fitness trainers or muscleheads who decide they want better things in life. Well, of course, the best way to get them is to steal them. The mastermind of this is Danny Lugo (played by Mar

The Old Way (2023)
My quick rating - 4.8/10. I figured I'd give something a bit different a try. Westerns aren't my typical go-to. But this keeps popping up on the Firecubes Amazon banner, so why not? It was pretty easy to pick out the star of the show, and it was NOT Nicolas Cage . He did have a bit of a bounce back recently with a couple of decent flicks, so I was hoping it was just a spell of poor choices, but this one is mediocre at absolute best. I swear, it seems that he can act so well

Satan's Slaves (2017)
My quick rating - 6.9/10. This and its sequel have made "best of" horror lists for their respective years, so I am going to check them out finally. Reading subtitles is a hassle with my eyes as of late, so I procrastinate. Very atmospheric with the camerawork and lack of sound at the right time to really suck you in for the scares. The family is torn apart initially when the mother passes away mysteriously to start this one. But there seems to be far more going on than just a

House Of Darkness (2022)
My quick rating - 3.5/10. Well, the first 40 minutes are just straight-up dialogue between two people, and even though I am a fan of Justin Long , what they were discussing wasn't exactly thrilling banter. Nor was the flick fooling me into thinking something was going to happen. 80 minutes of the 88 minutes are talking. Sorry for the spoiler, but it is just plain boring and misleading. The whole movie is based around Long giving a lift home to Kate Bosworth , and as the two
