"Fast X" is very much the beginning of the end of the road for the fambly. This is arguably the movie in the franchise with the most behind-the-scenes problems and setbacks since "Furious 7," with director Louis Leterrier coming in and even rewriting most of the script while replacing Justin Lin mere weeks into shooting, which signals to many that it's just time to wrap up the long-running blockbuster film series.
The latest sequel has some of the most ridiculous moments in the franchise, an all-time great action set piece, and arguably its biggest villain yet in Dante. Jason Momoa essentially plays genderfluid Bugs Bunny brought to live-action, a true master of chaos who is street ahead of everyone else, the kind of villain with a big grudge against Dom and the fambly -- which is always the best kind of villain.

Little Dixie is a thriller movie directed by John Swab starring Frank Grillo. With Eric Dane and Annabeth Gish.
Frank Grillo impersonates a man that navigates between two seas and between borders, a classic anti-hero who due to the circumstances has to become a hero to save his daughter, Little Dixie, whom the movie is named after.
This is a movie of black and white contrasts with grey areas in which everything happens in dark tones with even darker characters. This film which has its source in the construction of classic cinema to, in a authentic and brutal style, destroy and separate itself from its genre.

"Push the red button." Yep that's all it takes to defeat them! Voltage Pictures has revealed an official trailer for a survival thriller titled Stowaway, formerly known as The Yacht. Both of these titles are bland and boring, neither really works. There was already this sci-fi survival thriller called Stowaway on Netflix a few years ago anyway. A tenacious party girl fights to survive after three thieves commandeer her luxury yacht. Described as similar to Die Hard or Panic Room but on a yacht. The indie film stars Ruby Rose, Frank Grillo, Emma Maddock, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Luis Da Silva Jr., & Major Dodge. Aside from the trailer showing most of the film, including what the thieves are after, this is just a bad trailer. Why does every shot in this look so dark?! Everything on the boat is so poorly shot it's hard to see anything happening. Here's the official trailer for Declan Whitebloom's Stowaway,...

John Travolta simply wanted an autograph.
That sets off the premise of the actor’s new film, The Fanatic, in which Travolta, 65, stars as Moose, a rabid fan who is obsessed with his favorite action star Hunter Dunbar (Devon Sawa).
Moose resorts to a few desperate measures to get his personalized autograph — like asking a well-connected paparazzi photographer for Hunter’s personal address, which he gets.
“Hey, you can’t just come to my private residence looking for me,” Hunter tells Moose when he shows up at his house. “Listen, pal, I don’t know how you found me, but...

If there’s one man in Hollywood that is still sticking to his guns, it is Jean-Claude Van Damme. His latest feature is John Stockwell‘s Kickboxer: Vengeance where he assumes a Myagi role to a vengeful brother’s quest to take down Dave Bautista because Big Dave sort of murdered his brother in a no-holds-barred underground fight.
The men are ripped, the (only discernible) woman is treacherous, the testosterone is almost breaking the man-o-meter, and the punches are constant. Also starring Gina Carano, Alain Moussi, Luis Da Silva Jr, see the trailer below ahead of a fall release.
After his brother is brutally killed by the fighter Tong Po (Dave Bautista), Kurt, Etop Udo-Ema Sloane (Alain Moussi) travels to Thailand and trains with the legendary Master Durand (Jean-Claude Van Damme) to avenge his brother’s death.
Kickboxer: Vengeance strikes at theaters on September 2nd.

Anyone remember From Paris With Love? Director Pierre Morel followed up the 2008 Liam Neeson hit Taken with a similarly enjoyable, although less critically well received, action movie in 2010 which starred a shaven headed John Travolta as Charlie Wax. And while it was less successful and entertaining than Taken, From Paris With Love was still good fun.
So in theory then, given Travolta is – or at least was – capable of convincingly taking part in a action movie I had reasonable expectations for his latest film I Am Wrath. And then there’s the crew involved: directed by Chuck Russell whose past works include Eraser, The Mask, and The Blob; and starring Rebecca De Mornay and Christopher Meloni, I honestly thought...

A couple years back, an actor who doesn't always get much respect popped up in what looked like a low-rent thriller, only to have that movie turn out to be awesome. The star was Keanu Reeves, and the action vehicle was "John Wick." Can "I Am Wrath" do the same for John Travolta? Judging by this first trailer, it's not likely.

Director: Peter Engert. Writer: Christian McDonald. Cast: Edward Furlong, Monica Keena, Andre Royo, Bo Mitchell, Luis Da Silva Jr. and C.J. Thomason. Aftermath is a post-apocalyptic thriller from distributors Rlj Entertainment and relative newcomer Peter Engert. Engert's third feature takes place after a nuclear strike, which leaves several survivors exposed to radiation. The next hour or so consists of the survivors succumbing to radiation sickness. Light and fun - this film is not. Instead, the film focuses on drama and the dire situation in which the characters find themselves. The protagonist Hunter, played with lots of starch by C.J. Thomason, is a man without a past. It is only a matter of time before the survivors must face the unpredictable outcomes of a nuclear strike, including raging, mutated farmers. Aftermath is a very dreary film, which will leave many viewers haunted and wondering why. The film's story begins with Hunter.

Can You Survive The Emotional Fallout?
Hi there, Creeps! Recently I was asked to review a film called Aftermath, and I have to admit, I was not prepared for what this film contained. Ya see, when I read the description of the film, my head filled with images of an action-packed, blood spattered gorefest replete with slavering zombie-like antagonists mowin’ down hordes of terrified war-ravaged survivors like so much human wheat.
I’m going to lay it right on you cats: this movie is primarily a drama. A character-driven, dialogue-infused drama. So be forewarned, as your mileage may vary.
