Third world roads, am I right?
Has any movie ever showed more sweat? Even the dynamite is sweating.
Imagine attending your own wedding with a black eye?
Laserdisc rewatch for @70mmpod
So excited to revisit this film for BLOCKBUSTED month. Just rewatched To Live and Die in L.A. last week.
It's a film that lingers with you for a while once you've watched it. There are so many intricate stories before the main plot takes place. Mafia, political, military, etc.
The Tangerine Dream score is just a chef's kiss to 70's film music.

American Ninja

1985

★★½ Watched

Another Golan-Globus Cannon cult classic which I somehow missed all these years. All the writing, action, and production values of an A-Team episode. 
The beginning survival sequence felt like a rip off of Romancing the Stone. My favorite part is the French owned Ninja camp. This is some of the slowest choreographed martial committed to film? video? Also the military guys here are as dumb as comedic keystone cops. This supposedly had a theater release. 
I had/have such a crush on Judie Aronson (Hilly from Weird Science for me). This is definitely a good/bad movie. So worth watching for a chuckle.

Rambo: Last Blood

2019

★★★ Rewatched

My rewatch journey ends with John Rambo's horror farm of Home Alone style booby traps.
The end revenge killing spree is brutal and fucking awesome.
Watching a massacre while listening to the Doors "Five to One"
The end has a Mortal Kombat fatality.

My Rambo favs in order 1,4,5, 2,3

The Batman

2022

★★★★ Liked Watched

This time around we get a more dirty NYC looking Gotham city where the Riddler is more of a technically Internet based terrorist with shades of a sadistic, twisted villain like the movies Saw and Se7en. He is torturing Gotham‘s justice system elite and leaving notes and riddles for the Batman. To me this Batman feels more like the detective graphic novel style Batman which I love. He is very brooding, very matter-of-fact, and an ass kicker who gets his…

Fountain of Youth

2025

★★ Watched

This wanted to be National Treasure, Indiana Jones, and Mission Impossible all rolled into one. It’s badly written and the acting sub par. Kras is trying to be witty like Ryan Reynolds but it all just falls flat.
I love me some Guy Ritchie but not this time. Probably one of his worst.
