By Geno McGahee “Come with me if you want to live.” – Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) There are some movies that are more than movies. I consider them events. Movies like JURASSIC PARK, DIE HARD, THE FUGITIVE and the 1991 Arnold Schwarzenegger film “TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY” fit into this category. […]

Fist of Honor (1993) – FLASH GORDON GUY ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 1980, a movie was produced that had a big impact on me and my childhood. FLASH GORDON was a box office flop, but it was a unique film with great visuals and a hero that kids could look up to. Sam J. Jones played the lead […]
The Running Man (1987) – Arnold Schwarzenegger ACTION/SCI-FI ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in two major releases: PREDATOR and THE RUNNING MAN. Arnold was at his peak, delivering high-explosive hit after hit and establishing himself as the star of this sub-genre of action. PREDATOR was a unique alien-military film that became so popular that it […]
John Wick (2014) – Keanu Reeves & Michael Nyqvist ACTION/THRILLER MOVIE REVIEW
By Wayne C. Rogers Directed by Chad Stahelski I first saw the film, John Wick, starring Keanu Reeves, at the theater when it was originally released. I hadn’t known anything about the movie until the week before when I accidentally saw a trailer for it on television. That sparked my […]
The Equalizer (2014) – Denzel Washington CRIME THRILLER MOVIE DVD REVIEW
By Wayne C. Rogers Directed by Antoine Fuqua For me, The Equalizer, starring Denzel Washington was probably the best all around action movie of the year, just edging out John Wick with Keanu Reeves in it. The reason it beat out John Wick was because this is also a thinking […]
Executive Decision (1996) – Kurt Russell, Halle Berry & Steven Seagal AIRPLANE TERRORIST ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In the 1980s, the action movies usually featured a one-man force that would beat all the bad guys single-handily. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Sylvester Stallone, Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal made that style of film incredibly popular and enjoyable. In 1988, one film would […]
Run All Night (2015) – Liam Neeson, Ed Harris, Warner Bros. ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The two greatest action stars of all time were Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood. The DIRTY HARRY series and the DEATH WISH franchise defined the genre. The gritty, gun-carrying badass that didn’t need martial arts or explosives to bring his point home was a lost character until […]
Bandwagon (1996) -A Nostalgic Look Back at 90s Music (Rare 90s Movie)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Being a child of the 90s, I often romanticize the decade in my head. I like to convince myself what came out of the 90s was better than anything before or after. Maybe that’s because, if not for Nirvana, Live, Soul Asylum, Rage Against the Machine, […]
Kickboxer 5: The Redemption (1995) – Mark Dacascos ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The fifth and final entry in the KICKBOXER series (I think) is arguably the best since the first entry. It may not have been written to be one of the series, which is my suspicion, but they tied it in. David Sloan, played by Sasha Mitchell, had […]

Kickboxer 4: The Aggressor (1994) – Sasha Mitchell & the Return of Tong Po ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I am a huge fan of the 1989 KICKBOXER with action superstar, Jean-Claude Van Damme. It is a classic and was incredibly popular, prompting a series of straight to video sequels. In 1991, we saw KICKBOXER 2: THE ROAD BACK, with Sasha Mitchell as the new lead. […]
Kickboxer 3: The Art of War (1992) – Sasha Mitchell ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee “Eight years for stealing a sausage?!” – David (Sasha Mitchell) Recently I watched KICKBOXER 2: THE ROAD BACK, a straight to video follow up to the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic. They replaced JCVD with Sasha Mitchell, a man that cannot act, but in fairness to the sequel, […]
