I am a big Chuck Palahniuk fan and the grass roots of the comic read very much like 'Fight Club'. After finishing it I became an instant Mark Millar fan and have collected everything he has done since. So, naturally when I heard that there was to be a film adaptation on 'Wanted' I was super fuckin' stoked... that was until I heard later that it has practically jack-zip-shit to do with the source material. But, I went to see the film for 2 reasons: 1. I am a 'need to know' type of guy... I had to know what it was like. 2. To support the ever fading 'R' rated action film. So, I just got back and I have to say, it was about what I expected. 'POSSIBLE SPOILERS' .:Good:. 1. The intro shootout was bloody fabulous, even though the window smashing shit was played out in Bekmambetov's last two flicks. 2. I really dug the 'Escape form the Pharmacy' scene. It was stylish, ... | | Read Entire Entry |

Has anyone heard anything about this Russian film Dend? It looks to be either a complete clone or a parody of Commando. Check out this trailer:

| Posted by: Rant at June 19, 2008, 1:25 am | | Topic: All Outta BubbleGum: The B-Action Movie Thread Forum: JoBlo | | A lot of new suggestions for me to add to my list. Thanks guys. I am working on a Top 50 B-Action List which I'll post as soon as I am done, I still have some great ones that have not yet been mentioned on the thread. Here a 2-Fer that I just watched the last couple days (they're pretty fun, but did not make my Top 50 list) If you like '70's car chases and can suspend disbelief that the Ginger Ronny Howard can score with hot chicks, give them a try. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: darknite125 at June 19, 2008, 12:14 am | | Topic: All Outta BubbleGum: The B-Action Movie Thread Forum: JoBlo | | My personal favorite (and a pure classic) Some of my other faves: Who needs a plot when you gotta a guy named Jaguar and an ass kicker in his fifties. He beats the alien with a T-shirt coated in diamonds. Nuff. Said. In all it's blasphemous greatness. Plus the best ending of any movie ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJDObC5c0jw (YES THE GUY WITH THE SHAVED HEAD AND EARRING IS JESUS) | | Static Link |

So, I just watched that Thai flick I posted a trailer for a little while back 'Fighting Beat' and I to would like to warn everyone that it is a flaming pile of dog shit and cat piss. The hits sound like puffs of air, the soundtrack is awful and every 'Fighter' in the movie is a complete and total pussy. It was literally like watching Scooby and the Gang fighting, complete with the goofy sound effects, prat falls and playing possum. Fuck Ass was it Lame. What a waste of money. On a brighter side, I also watched 'Muay Thai Chaiya' and despite the fact that the subtitles where translated literally (which makes No Fucking Sense) it was still a damn good flick, for what I could understand. I look forward to seeing it with understandable English subtitles if it ever comes state-side. | | Static Link |

I definitely recommend it. It's a damn good western in my opinion that gets overshadowed by the more popular Sergio Leone Italian Westerns, but I'd say Fulci's contribution to the genre should be noted as well. Then again, I'm a Fulci fanboy. So the average viewer might just find it on par with Leone's lesser westerns as opposed to his greater ones. | | Static Link |

Hollywood use to make that kind of movie all the time. Death Wish being a prime example of it, as well as numerous other film sin the 70's and 80's. Yet when it comes time to adapt the character to the screen, they STILL can't seem to get it right. | | Static Link |
