I’m Not Hyped About ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’

Man of Steel was okay (my brother really dislikes it). The Dark Knight trilogy was very good. Now, I am an avid comic book fan – I have first issues, first appearances, graphic novels, single issues of importance etc. etc. Also, I am a fan of both Batman and Superman, in film, cartoon, and comic.

Thoughts on 2015’s ‘Kickboxer’ Remake/Reboot and the 1989 Original. 

So, via Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Facebook page, I came across a post regarding JCVD starring in a new Kickboxer movie. Wow. Talk of the original Kickboxer movie If you’re not knowledgeable of the original Kickboxer (dir. DiSalle & Worth, 1989), it is THE cult classic martial arts film of the 80s – it even co-stars Dennis Alexio, a former world kickboxing champion. To quickly sum up the story: Eric Sloane … Continue reading Thoughts on 2015’s ‘Kickboxer’ Remake/Reboot and the 1989 Original.
