Hellraiser (2022)
3/10
"Dry Reimaging"
9 October 2022
First the aesthetics of the "Cenobites" was impressive & the eerie tone was nice, the acting was dryer then burnt toast the pacing made my teeth hurt, this version of "Hellraiser" was like watching a CW film gone off the rails. Doug Bradley will always be the true Hell Priest AKA Pinhead, also H. R. 1-4 are cinema classics for this franchise & H. R. #10 with it's small budget was way better than this. I really hope Clive Barker Barker get's the rights too these films back & revitalizes the potential it has to truly move forward. I know there has to be some screen writer's out there who have the same vibe as Barker & won't hesitate too give this franchise the true treatment it deserves other wise it will fade into obscurity.

The Guardian (1984 TV Movie)
8/10
"A True Gem from a bygone Era"
7 July 2022
First off saw this when I was "10" it was burned into my memory, Second Louis Gossett jr. & Martin Sheen played there roles with precision, Third L. G. J.'s character resonates in the current time period a no nonsense individual willing too maintain order, the character was not apologetic about his methods. "The Guardian" is a forgotten gem of it's genre.

"Savagery of Children"
22 December 2021
I saw this film when I was 16 in '90 & the '63 version as a adult, the '90's version was better it has more grit, also growing up in the inner city I could vibe with this film, a lack of strong adult supervision boy's will go wild & create their own rules with deadly ramifications.

The Hitcher (1986)
10/10
"Enigmatic Cult Classic"
2 October 2021
I saw this film on Cable T. V. when I was twelve & it has stood the test of time, if you're a Rutger Hauer fan this is for you, the mystery of his character will keep you pumped.

"True follow-up of a 80's Classic"
26 July 2021
First: The Animation & Writing were second to none, Second: The Team who put this together had class, Three: I really wish a third season of this would come out. The Netflix fiasco of this franchise should be a call too Arms to make this happen, it would be a helluva competition.

Gritty Psychological Terror"
19 July 2021
Once again I gotta say this is One of Three Chuck Norris films I got in my collection that stood the test of time, "Silent Rage, The Code of Silence" being the other two, now this film is paced well & caters too Chuck's acting style also I gotta give honorable mention to "Steve James" & "Jack O'Halloran", gritty mystery with sudden death puts this film together, the 80's style was perfect. Chuck Norris collector's must get this for their Library you won't be disappointed.

"Grit & Grime Chi-Town Style"
19 July 2021
First off this is one of three Chuck Norris's grimmiest films for me "Silent Rage, Hero & The Terror" being the other two, Second supporting actor's Dennis Farina & Henry Silva give this film it's secondary punch, third the overall back drop of the North, Northwestside Chi-Town grimey edge gave this film blood too keep it moving. A collector of 80's kickass films must have this in their Library!!!!!

"Classic Grindhouse Flavor"
19 July 2021
Hey, Grimey feel of this movie is classic for me, also it's hard too find there's no official DVD release, that being said if you like movies that get too the point without useless dialogue this is a must see, a true Grindhouse collector's must have.

7/10
"A Solid Adventure"
28 June 2021
Krull is a basic adventure film with all the treats & trappings, a solid 80's romp worth viewing & if you're a Sci-Fi connoisseur it's worth collecting.

"Classic Adventure"
26 June 2021
I've enjoyed this film since it's release, like "Conan" it's too the point for me simplicity without the over the top dramatics to weigh it down, "RIP Torn" is a classic villain this is a must have for collectors of good 80's cinema.

Thunder Rock (1942)
8/10
"Thought Provoking Of One's Soul"
24 June 2021
First of all why this film didn't make the BFI list boggles my mind, I watched this film a few year's ago on AMC & it stuck with me, the protagonist was well challenged by his costar's on current event's, what got me was his costar's state of being, they truly conveyed his pain & his desire to good in life. "Thunder Rock" has stood the test of time.

"Gritty Antebellum Intrigue"
24 February 2021
I remember this miniseries from my childhood, the vivid dialogue & character development captured a Era of Southern intrigue, this film doesn't have a proper DVD release that within itself is a sin, this miniseries is a CLASSIC definitely worth it's weight in gold.

"Classic Military Noir"
11 February 2021
I saw this film as a kid & it still resonates too this day, also this should be mandatory viewing for African-American & U.S. History students, the actors in this movie were second too none, the vibe & mood of each character resonated off the screen, I felt every bit of dialogue.

"Underrated Classic"
27 December 2020
First of all I would like to say this is "Family Classics" material (WGN CHANNEL 9 CHICAGO), that being said Frank Yerby's novel was flesh out well the double dealing & passion displayed by the actors & actresses were spot on, this is worth a collector's attention.

"Classic 80's Fantasy"
30 November 2020
This movie has stuck with me since I was eleven, it transcends time the Dark gritty tone was edgy for it's 1985 release, today it would fit in well.
