First presented in a sequence of attacks from an underground “death match”, “Stingray” (real name: Paul Taylor) is the antagonist of the US-shot Hong Kong production, Undefeatable (Ho, 1993). “Stingray” is not only a skilled and deadly fighter; he is a psychotic wife beater. In an early scene, “Stingray” rapes his wife, which leads to her fleeing the family home – this drives “Stingray” on a personal … Continue reading Obscure Movie Villains: “Stingray” from ‘Undefeatable’
Yes, what if the new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is pure shit – shit like Attack of the Clones? Imagine the mass hysteria it would cause.

The hype surrounding this movie creates high expectations, as one would presume. “Original trilogy” cast … Continue reading What if ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ is pure sh*t?

Evening. So, as the titles states, I semi-recently watched one of my girlfriend’s favourite films. Now, she’s big on French film (and French things in general) – French film to her is what “New Hollywood” films are to me – my favourites! Together, we watched Amélie (Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain). Having not watched much French Cinema from the 21st century, and ignoring my girlfriend’s bias, I … Continue reading So, I Semi-Recently Watched One of My Girlfriend’s Favourite Films…

Ho, ho, ho, folks. It’s that time of year when an overload of Christmas movies and generally big-ish movies, old and new, appear on TV. From the benchmark-setting It’s a Wonderful Life (dir. Capra, 1946) to the modern classic Elf (dir. Favreau, 2003), we all have a favourite – my girlfriend’s favourite happens to be Home Alone (dir. Columbus, 1990). In this post, I’ll be discussing my favourite. So, what is my … Continue reading My Favourite Christmas Movie…
Merry Christmas, folks. As it’s Christmas, I feel the need to do a Shot at 60 on Christmas movies. For your information: As only a couple of Christmas movies were released theatrically in the 1970s, I’ve used three 1980s and three 1990s Christmas movies instead of usually having two. Enjoy! Scrooge (1970) National General Pictures / Dir: Ronald Neame / Prod: Solo Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) … Continue reading Shot at 60 part VIII: Christmas
