Captain Jack Heartless

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

My personal favorite flicks of 2025.
If you agree? Great!
If you disagree? Great!

It didn't work, but there were still flashes of Jackie's later style throughout, despite the serious tone, and it set him up for the real breakthrough with Drunken Master 2 years later.

And that wraps up #JackieChanukkah2025! Thanks for joining me!

#JackieChanukkah, Night 8, Movie 8. A #firsttimewatch.

#NewFistofFury was the official-ish sequel to Fist of Fury, the famed Bruce Lee vehicle. It set Jackie as the would-be successor, onscreen and off, to the Dragon.

There's no laughs here, though...this one's based on a real case. DARK, with a finale that blew up half of Kowloon!

The best movie of this year's festivities.

Watch it where I did, at youtu.be/TpEL8DTI_Hs?...

#JackieChanukkah Night 7, Movie 7. A #firsttimewatch.

A much more serious role & film during his '90s peak, #CrimeStory is like watching Jackie and his stunts crossed with a John Woo production.
(1/2)

#JackieChanukkah Night 6, Movie 6. A #firsttimewatch.

The #AroundtheWorldin80Days remake had no right to be that fun! It was a damn good time, and I cheered for the #ArnoldSchwarzenegger & #SammoHung cameos especially. A pleasant surprise all around.

Watched on Disney+.
#JackieChanukkah2025

...for a flick from 1985, featuring strong performances from both. Pair that with fantastic fights to start & finish for a thumbs up from me!

Watched on Blu-Ray from Arrow Video.

#JackieChanukkah Night 5, Movie 5. A #firsttimewatch.

I was a bit hesitant when I started #HeartofDragon last night. I wasn't sure about #SammoHung playing a special needs adult & Jackie playing his brother/caretaker. However, this was surprisingly nuanced...(1/2)

#JackieChanukkah Night 4, Movie 4. A #FirstTimeWatch.

I watched #Gorgeous last night...surprised to find it's a romcom! The highlights here are both fights against Brad Allan, the 1st non-Asian member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team.

Watched on Blu-Ray from 88 Films.

#JackieChanukkah Night 3, Movie 3. A #firsttimewatch.

#WhoAmI is bonkers. Jackie dangles out of a chopper, fights in clogs, and RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF A GODDAMN SKYSCRAPER.

This one might as well be his late 90s highlight reel!

Watched on Blu-Ray from Umbrella.

#JackieChanukkah Night 2, Movie 2. A #firsttimewatch.

I was looking forward to #KarateKidLegends, as it succeeds #CobraKai & connects Mr.
Han to the Miyagis.

It was fine...could've used more Jackie, but I get it. At least it's a #tight90, which I dig.

Watched on Netflix.

#JackieChanukkah Night 1, Movie 1. A #firsttimewatch.

As a fan of #TheKarateKid, I wasn't sure what I'd get w/ the 2010 version. Jackie's the best part of it, ofc, but it had heart.

Thumbs up from me; a strong start to this year's festivities!

TOMORROW.
It all begins again...

#JackieChanukkah RETURNS with 8 new movies as we celebrate the reason for our season, the legendary #JackieChan!

Tune in tomorrow for our 2025 movie list!
#8Nights8Movies1Man1Chan #JackieChanukkah2025

This feels very fitting tonight.

We need actual leaders that will fight the tide of fascism, not these spineless charlatans that let it drag us all under.

#Murica

Werewolves were the MVP w/ 11 appearances, and surprisingly, the 2020's had the most entries w/ 18 movies!

The best #firsttimewatch was GDT's #Frankenstein, and seriously can't wait for you all to see it soon.

Until next year!
#Jacktober2025 #werewolves #guillermodeltoro

Maybe my favorite thing about #Jacktober is when we bust out the full list and go #ByTheNumbers!

We tallied 66 movies this year, w/ 41 #firsttimewatches for a 62.1% clip. (Cont.)

#Jacktober Day 31, Movie 65.

There's 2 kinds of people in this world: those that love & recognize #HalloweenIIISeasonoftheWitch as the classic it is, and those that are wrong.

Which one are you?!

Watched on Peacock.
#Jacktober2025 #EternalSexGodTomAtkins #SilverShamrock #JohnCarpenter

#Jacktober Day 30, Movie 64. A #firsttimewatch.

#HellboyTheCrookedMan is a smaller movie than its predecessors - that's a feature, not a bug. I thought #JackKesy was a good Big Red, in a faithful adaptation of one of my favorite #MikeMignola stories.

Watched on Hulu.
#Jacktober2025 #modernhorror

#Jacktober Day 29, Movie 63.

#TheWolfMan: my GF's favorite of the #UniversalMonsters and therefore a must-watch.

PS, #LarryTalbot is a total fuckboy in this movie, and it's hard to feel bad for him. 😂

Watched on Google TV.
#Jacktober2025 #1940shorror #UniversalHorror #LonChaneyJr #ClaudeRains

#Jacktober Day 28, Movie 62.

The finale of the Apocalypse Trilogy, #InTheMouthofMadness is not only the best Lovecraftian horror movie to date, but the finest horror film of the '90's.

I SAID WHAT I SAID. Incredible!

Watched on 4K UHD from Arrow.
#Jacktober2025 #DoYouReadSutterCane #JohnCarpenter

#Jacktober Day 28, Movie 61. A request!

Goddamn, do I love #PsychoGoreman; an intergalactic splatterfest w/ a wicked sense of humor & killer practical FX. Makes me wish crazyball caught on as a sport, y'know?

Watched on Google TV.

#Jacktober Day 27, Movie 60. A highly recommended #firsttimewatch, #Insidious was a MUCH better Wan/Whannell movie than #DeadSilence was last night. It was also a treat to see the OG #LinShaye pop up in this as well.

Watched on HBO Max.
#Jacktober2025 #LeighWhannell #JamesWan

#Jacktober Day 26, Movie 59. A #firsttimewatch.

#DeadSilence was...very meh. Probably my least favorite movie of this year's marathon.

Also the constant blue filter is something I'm glad that horror left back in the 2000's.

Watched on Blu-Ray.
#Jacktober2025 #JamesWan #LeighWhannell #2000shorror

#Jacktober Day 26, Movie 58.

It was a real treat to see #ParaNorman on the big screen, and with the new short #TheThrifting in front of it as well. I wish we had more adventures in this universe.

#Jacktober Day 25, Movie 57.

Another yearly #UniversalMonsters rewatch, #Dracula holds up 94(!) years later on the strength of #BelaLugosi's performance, one of the most influential ever put to film.

Watched on 4K UHD from Universal.

#Jacktober Day 25, Movie 56.

Another #firsttimewatch as I finished the series w/ #HotelTransylvaniaTransformania. To quote @thatmovieisfine, it was indeed fine, but not memorable. 😅

Watched on Prime Video.

#Jacktober Day 25, Movie 55. A #firsttimewatch.

Is #hoteltransylvania3 as good as the first 2? Nah.

Am I still having fun with this series? YES. I wish this had existed when I was young.

Watched on Netflix.

I threw on #HotelTransylvania2 because I enjoyed the 1st one so much. Any movie that gives me surprise #MelBrooks & #NickOfferman is OK by me!
