Movie of the Day – The Dragon Lives Again

Have you ever wanted to see Bruce Lee battle the likes of James Bond, The Man with No Name and Dracula all in one epic movie.  Well folks, you are in luck since the death of Bruce Lee spawned a subgenre of exploitation movies called Bruceploitation and the movie studios just couldn’t stop capitalizing off the fame of Bruce Lee.  RIP Bruce, your legend will live on as will these horribly amazing movies.  It’s time for The Dragon Lives Again.

Movie of the Day – Event Horizon

October 13, 2012 8 Comments

A completely underrated sci-fi horror movie, Event Horizon scared the shit out of me when I was teen seeing this in the theater.  Now you might be wondering what a teen was doing in a theater seeing an R-rated horror movie, well it back in the days when people didn’t give a fuck about what kids were and were not able to see.  Sigh, those were the days.

I love me a space horror and Event Horizon brought this eerie feeling of uneasiness about the isolation of space and the unknown element of fear among the crew still gives me the chill.  But sadly, the film was panned all around by critics, but those of us cinephiles managed to looks beyond the horizon and saw a truly, cerebral and terrifying film.

Movie of the Day – Nil by Mouth

Can we all agree that Gary Oldman is badass and remarkable actor.  I mean he has been on an amazing kick these past several years with memorable roles and even going further back into his filmography with the over the top villains and heroes that make this man a joy to watch on screen.  While I should be talking about film that he has a prominent role in for today’s post and early praising I did, I want to concentrate on something that few people have probably seen or even heard of.  Back in 1997, Gary Oldman wrote and directed a film that ended up on Britain’s Top 100 British Films of all time.  It has won numerous awards and BAFTA’s galore, but it was the only film that he has directed or written, never coming back behind the camera.

Movie of the Day – The Gate

I have to thank my friend Luke for reminding of this amazing movie a few days ago when he showed me his latest poster print from the dude at Phantom City Creative.  If you want one of a kind poster prints, this is the place to get them.  So with that little plug aside, the poster he showed me was of The Gate, a 1986 horror movie that was done in stop motion animation along with some Ray Harryhausen like creations.  The Gate is a fun ride of a horror film, no strong gore or violence, but it uses this mad house style creep fest of the creatures and atmosphere to make a fun as hell kids horror movie.  It was more insane than Monster Squad, but not nearly as great cause it didn’t have the kids kicking Wolfman in the nards.
