Movie Poster Friday- Forbidden World

Happy Birthday Mel Brooks!

 Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are some of the best comedies ever made but that is just the tip of the ice berg of what the genius has given us over the years.  I saw him on Jimmy Kimmell recently and at 86 the guy is still as funny ever.  Do yourself a favor and go spin something of his soon.

The Escape Plan Movie Trailer

R.I.P. Richard Matheson 1926-2013

We lost a great writer today with the passing of author Richard Matheson.  This guy has been around forever and was responsible for over a dozen Twilight Zone episodes (many of the best ones) and numerous TV and movie scripts.  His highlights include Duel, The Omega Man, it's remake I am Legend, Twilight Zone the Movie, and Real Steel. 

Happy Birthday Nancy Allen!

Nancy Allen starred in some great movies back in the late 70s thru the 80s.  Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, 1941, and the Robocop trilogy are just some of her highlights.

Movie Poster Thursday- Conan the Barbarian

New Release Tuesday

It’s a good week for new stuff and some old catalog releases!

This is only for die hard Sly fans.  Not the best of movies and I will blame that on director Renny Harlin and the horrible cgi effects they used for this Indy car racing drama.  It has its moments and it’s about time we have Sly and Burt Reynolds in a movie together finally.

Man, what could have been.  Bruce Lee was the second baddest man on the planet next to Chuck Norris and Enter the Dragon is a martial arts masterpiece.   Love the cover on this with the broken mirror.

 I am intrigued by this new telling of a tale.  Look s action packed and lots of fun!

Great precursor to Every Which But Loose as director Walter Hill wrote and directed this great depression era street boxing movie.  Charles Bronson is awesome and is a monster in this at the age of 54.  It is really nice to see Chuck Bronson teamed up with James Coburn again as he plays Chuck’s manager.  This is carried at Screen Archives and they have only issues 3,000 copies so get yours now.

Overlooked Eastwood western directed by the great John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape).  Eastwood is Joe Kidd and is he hired by the great Robert Duvall to hunt down a Mexican fugitive causing trouble.  Or is he?  Nice little movie and has some great, funny sequences with Clint.  This is a European release so it pricey but it is region free.  Universal seems to be dragging their feet on their part of the Eastwood collection so I may look into this.

This has never been released on DVD so the best ninja movie ever finally comes out on blu at that!  This is a great flick and I really look forward to catching up with this 80s classic.  It come from Shout Factory so it will look and sound great and will have plenty of extras.

I am up for another trip to OZ since I have been watching the original all my life.  The reviews on this are pretty mixed but I trust director Sam Raimi here and I look forward to checking this out.  The hard part of watching this is going to putting up with James Franco.  

Let’s go see what the Rock is cooking!  I am back on board with Dwayne now that he is back doing action movies and has ditched the comedy stuff.  The Rock plays a snitch of a truck driver working for a drug cartel to try to get his son out of trouble.
