Red Roses of Passion
(1966)
Ultra extreme
1 September 2021
Where to begin, five nearly nude buxom women, one is tied up and one is dominatrix. One needs to be punished and all our devil worshipers. That's just the first 20 minutes. The grainy style is magnificent, if you wanted a lesson in kink this thing would cover most of them.
The Mortuary Collection
(2019)
Few horror movies achieve this

The cinematography is some of the finest ever seen in horror movies. You can set your standards by this movie. Plots a dime a dozen, quality like this very rare. Viewed Crimson Peak today considered the best ever, this is in the same league.
Honest Thief
(2020)
Bad boring stupid and insulting
30 December 2020
I am a solid Liam neeson fan, so even on the reviews I figure how bad could it be. I hate to overwork the word pitiful, crappy? The first third is him falling in love -with alot of romantic nonsense. Contrived unicorn and rainbow-esque type of backstory building. When the FBI comes in use what they call.... a suspension of disbelief. Not once but twice Liam gives millions and millions of dollars to two lone guys who might be FBI. Then when they abscond with the money, he gives more millions to a single FBI guy. The entire plot and script is half baked, I think a high school sophomore could have done just as good. don't forget what seems to be required of any action movie these days, 10 minute two-man gun fights. It wasn't bad enough to turn off but getting close.
Dead End
(I) (2003)
Damn good!

I seldom write any reviews and mainly only when they're bad. But like everybody says this is one damn good movie. It holds you, grabs you, ties you up in knots. There is not a bad moment in the whole film, and as someone pointed out not a bit of gore. It's just creepy well done. And a whole new entire plot/story. Don't miss it!
Let Him Go
(2020)
Pitiful - with a capital P
11 December 2020
Boring, insipid, predictable, stupid. not a thriller except to maybe Hallmark. Not only a waste of time, but an insult to anyone who isn't a Hallmark devotee. Thriller?? I get more scared wondering who's stealing shopping carts from the supermarket.. watching Kevin and Diane is the only redeeming quality, without them this could have been an eighth grade story and play. The most outstanding part was the family dinner and the part played by the bad guys mom. Don't watch this you'll be sorry.
Gangster
(2006)
Lame movie overall, made even worse

Maybe two or three times a year, I have to write a review, usually to warn others.
Looking at the reviews, this was going to be one out of this world movie. If you like dull, insipid, boring and pretty slow. This is your huckleberry. To really put the clincher on it, any song they play is going to be some form of an Indian love song. The lyrics are all like a kahill gibron poem ...pretty much all beyond insipid. It's going to be with that Indian type music, where you expect to see somebody taming a snake. And these moronic pointless songs are very long and repeated. I couldn't watch the whole movie. It's so simple you can project out the upcoming torment you will have. Anybody who wrote a good review for this has to be from India. Pick any 15 minute segment, you will have a gutful of everything I mentioned above. In

Kill Chain
(2019)
Should be called kill movie.
25 September 2020
I almost never write a review maybe once a year. And usually easy to please. But this movie had such disparity between reviews. it's so pitiful I had to share my thoughts.. I tried to give it the first 15 minutes to 30 minutes and now it's almost an hour of muddled story, an occasional obligatory action scene. Movie is so bad when I tried to focus as maybe I was missing something,. I couldn't even force myself follow it. My mind just wandered and wandered. It never gets better. Another reviewer summed it up perfectly...,. Borefest. And in closing, a few reviewers called it noir. Maybe they just learned the word, one scene wss shot through a venetian blind. Other than that and it has people I would say nothing else is noir about it. You have been warned no
