I support it

Thanks, I was proud of that one.

No, I'll have to look that up.

Protector | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA Last week when I went to see BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS: WIND RISES IN THE DESERT I saw some exciting trailers, including one for a kidnapped daughter action

PROTECTOR is ridiculous even by the standards of kidnapped daughter action movies, but Milla Jovovich is so good she still comes out looking pretty cool in the end.

I believe you're thinking of a monster mash.

And not everyone means it this way but I especially hate it when they're saying it's "more than a horror movie," as if after a certain level of quality or thoughtfulness it ceases being horror.

I'm still annoyed by "is SINNERS a horror movie?" discourse. Many horror movies are *about* something. Many horror movies take a while to reveal they're horror movies. Many horror movies also dip into other genres. It's about trying not to get bit by vampires. Of course it's a fucking horror movie.

I'm just saying I'm not ready to believe in the Academy giving it to a straight up horror movie. It felt possible after the SAG Awards, but I don't know.

Riggs is supposed to be the crazy one but at the start of Lethal Weapon 1, Murtaugh is shown having a morning bath on a workday. That is absolutely insane behaviour

I watched SINNERS again and it's still great but I can no longer picture it winning best picture now that I remember it has parts where people are fighting vampires while electric guitars go 'jhung jhung jhung.'

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

A badass picture of Cynthia Rothrock making fists

As I traditionally did on an abandoned platform I would like to point out that International Women's Day is Cynthia Rothrock's birthday. Happy both!

It seems meant for VOD.

Oh yeah, you're right, they're pretty similar! I personally hated that piece of garbage but this one is less racist and doesn't have the baggage of an iconic character.

I'm not sure what that refers to.

The script really seems like one of those regional vanity action movies of the '80s and '90s, but done with professional actors.

Comically stupid paranoia porn, deranged story choices, Milla is awesome, recommended for a laugh.

PROTECTOR 12:10 Now Seating

"Tentatively titled Garfield"

He just turned it off!

I assume they said it was the price of buying the ads but most of it is skimming the tills.

Even GOP senators rip Noem over $220M taxpayer-funded TV ads — starring her Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem, 54, appeared on Capitol Hill for a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing involving oversight of her department, and the whopping cost of the ad campaign targeting …

Same budget as TRON: ARES.

I'm excited to see the new TAKEN type movie starring Milla Jovovich tomorrow (PROTECTOR). I guess it's still January!

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

My upstairs neighbor has left the same gentle ambient (video game menu?) loop playing for 48+ hours.

Blades of the Guardians | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS is the new movie that’s gonna make me even more confused when I’m trying to remember which OF THE GUARDIANS movie is the owl one and

Seattle people - this is still playing at the Pacific Place. It even went up from one showing a day to two.

Kick or Die | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA There is a movie that was released by American International Pictures in 1987 that’s still only available on VHS, and the name of the movie is KICK OR DIE. If

Today I have a review of a pretty sleazy only-on-VHS A.I.P. movie called KICK OR DIE (1987). The titular kicking is provided by Kevin Bernhardt, who later co-starred in HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH and wrote TURBULENCE 2: FEAR OF FLYING.

It comes out in April. Warning: it's a pricey limited edition. I think my essay is in the promotional photo here.

Yes! I recently found out my grown up nephew saw HARD BOILED for the first time, and he had me go through the menu with him and tell him which ones to prioritize. (Also getting to brag that I did liner notes for the Imprint release of HARD BOILED was a great moment in cool unclehood.)
