Face/Off, 1997 – ★★★★

Operatic gunfights, wild performances, and pure ’90s excess—an unapologetic blast that turns action into high art chaos.

Beast of War, 2025 – ★★★

A fresh historical backdrop gives this shark tale some bite. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but the setting alone makes it worth a look.

Iced, 1989 – ★★★

Kind of a fun watch. Of course nothing really happens until the last 5 minutes.

Curtains, 1983 – ★★

One of those tough to watch horror movies out of time: too much 70’s slog, not enough 80’s fun.

Vile, 2011 – ★

Mean, empty, and painfully misguided—shock without purpose from a filmmaker capable of far better. Whatever the excuse, the result is pure misery.

Aftermath, 1994 – ★

I’ve always known this one is out there. Now I have watched it. And that’s the end of that.
