A legend amongst greats. His name may not be as immediate as Toshiro Mifune, but it ought to be.

Fangoria - Putting the Fan before the Goria.

Playing a bit of fantasy casting over the remake of The Bodyguard. Taylor Swift in the lead but couldn’t think of who would fill the Kevin Costner role.

I thought Riz Ahmed… but now I want him as James Bond.

I sure loves me some Cirio H. Santiago, but I’m not sure I love any of his films more than this one. Absolutely wild.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.

How the hell on this Earth has Bats (1999) only got a 17/15 split on RT?
Bats is a favourite of mine and I am shocked, SHOCKED I tells you.

As Roxette once said… “Listen to your heart”. Fuck RT… except @filmmomatic.bsky.social, he cool.

An overlooked great. Directed by Brett Piper (Nymphoid Barbarian In Dinosaur Hell). There just aren’t enough movies with giant telekinetic sentient crabs.
