The $300 Action Movie

Director/writer Michael Ashton took $300 and an obvious understanding of cinema basics and special effects and made this 12-minute short film called Lazy Teenage Superheroes. It’s quite impressive! The acting, not so much. This isn’t to say the movie is a flop or undeserving of our praise, because it is! And the acting isn’t terrible,…

Watch Nic Cage have gunfight sex in this insane Drive Angry clip [NSFW]

More evidence that Drive Angry could be the weirdest film in cinematic history. Here is a clip of Nic Cage having sex while in a gun fight. He doesn’t even flinch (or take off his clothes). Apologies about the age gate – it takes a few minutes to load, but it is 100% worth it.…

In the future, women dominate the planet and men are just “seeders”

M. Bison, I love you

In the 1994 flick Street Fighter, we never learn what the “M” in M. Bison’s name stands for. To me, that “M” means “Masterpiece.” Why? Raul Julia’s superlative performance as the lunatic dictator makes the film ever-so-watchable 16 years later. Before I launch into my love letter to all things Bison, let’s talk a little…
