By Geno McGahee I used to be very critical of Sylvester Stallone’s body of work, noting that his films were pretty much shit with the exceptions of the ROCKY films and FIRST BLOOD, but after being unable to go anywhere and do anything, I’ve decided to put some money down […]

Eraser (1996) – Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vanessa Williams ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Arnold Schwarzenegger was the man in the 1990s. He began the decade with TOTAL RECALL and KINDERGARTEN COP. The next year he would have, arguably, his best film with the incredibly successful TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY. Although successful, LAST ACTION HERO in 1993 wasn’t considered one of […]
Boiling Point (1993) – Wesley Snipes, Dennis Hopper & Viggo Mortensen ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee There were a lot of attempts to create action stars in the 80s and 90s. Considering the money that guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sly Stallone were bringing in, it made sense to give other actors with the right look a shot. Wesley Snipes is one of […]
Nothing But Trouble (1991) – Chevy Chase, John Candy, Demi Moore & Dan Aykroyd STRANGE COMEDY REVIEW
By Geno McGahee When it comes to the careers of Chevy Chase, John Candy, Demi Moore and Dan Aykroyd, one movie may stick out as the one that they shouldn’t have done and that film is NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, a widely panned film that bombed at the box office, only […]
Spy Intervention (2020): Drew Van Acker and Poppy Delevingne Comedy Adventure NOW ON DVD – Review
By Geno McGahee Corey (Drew Van Acker) is the world’s best spy, always on top of his game and never missing a bad guy. They chase him down and he is able to dodge and kill off the assassins without them even seeing where he was in the first place. […]
Suburban Commando (1991) – Hulk Hogan Sci-Fi/Comedy/Action Movie Review
By Geno McGahee In 1989, Hulk Hogan took a stab at becoming an action star with the underrated NO HOLDS BARRED. It basically bombed, but it was just released at a very bad time. The same month that film came out, BATMAN, GHOSTBUSTERS 2, KARATE KID III and DEAD POET’S […]
Tango & Cash (1989) – Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I have seen most of the films of Sylvester Stallone but I had never seen TANGO & CASH. When I saw that it came out in 1989, I was pretty sure that I was in for a bad film. Stallone was coming off of OVER THE TOP […]
Bad Boys For Life (2020) – Will Smith & Martin Lawrence ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 1995, BAD BOYS was released, featuring two young actors that were known for their comedy but proved that they could also carry an action film. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence found magic in the movie, but it could have been far different. The original choices for […]
Universal Soldier (1992) – Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren Action/Sci-Fi MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee It’s been a long, long time since I’ve had the pleasure to watch UNIVERSAL SOLDIER. I actually haven’t watched it since it came out, but since I’m under house arrest like the rest of you, I decided now was the time to give it another look. The […]
Cliffhanger (1993) – Sylvester Stallone DIE HARD Rock Climbing Action Movie Review
By Geno McGahee In 1988, the action landscape changed with the release of DIE HARD. The idea of one guy taking on a group of terrorists was really appealing and Hollywood took notice of the trend, putting out films with Steven Seagal in UNDER SIEGE, Jean-Claude Van Damme in SUDDEN […]
Someone I Touched (1975) – Made for TV STD Awareness Movie Review
By Geno McGahee I love made for TV movies for the most part, especially those back in the day. They did them right back then and in 1975, SOMEONE I TOUCHED was released and it’s a lot of fun. I guess in the 1970s venereal disease was a big thing […]
Over the Top (1987) – Sylvester Stallone Arm Wrestling Action Movie Review
By Geno McGahee In 1985, ROCKY IV was released and was a smash hit, making over 300 million in just the United States. It gave Sylvester Stallone a lot of power as a money draw and allowed him more control. He would write and star in the 1986 film “COBRA”, […]
