BADass SINema Unearthed - Blu-ray Review

The introduction to this low budget feast tells us all we need to know . . . “The great virus started in 2019. In the first 2 years almost 5 million people died worldwide. In 2022 a new strain hit and 5 million people a month were dying. No vaccine was effective. This created high gas prices, food ...

Exploitation vigilantism never kicked so hard as it does here in the second installment of the Death Wish series.  Newly remastered thanks to the efforts of Vinegar Syndrome and MGM, Death Wish II can now be seen ...

Bubba Ho-Tep and I have finally made up.  I get it.  I finally get why the movie absolutely works and why my punk-ass comments when it was originally released were so naïve.  To borrow a line from Gatsby's Nick Carraway, “in my younger and more vulnerable years” I was a complete tool ...
