Death Wish II

1982

★★★★★ Liked Watched

Few statements are more powerful than "Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus present" and this film perfectly demonstrates why.

Leaning into every wrong lesson and instinct from the first Death Wish, this new Cannon Films iteration is meaner, uglier, nastier, far more violent and rape-happy, and even more reactionary. Swapping the grungy 1970s New York streets for sunny 1980s Los Angeles means the city is different, but the punks are just as just as bloodthirsty, and just as horny—maybe even worse.…

Mad Max

1979

★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

The world goes to shit and drags the last good man down with it. A masterpiece of independent filmmaking, borderline pornographic in how it depicts revving engines and rambunctious chases. People call this "boring," "nonsensical," or a "slow burn" which is absolutely ludicrous to me. This is a perfectly edited, gorgeously shot, extremely straightforward film (with a phenomenal score to boot) that just so happens to be lugging around a heavy pair of enormous chrome testes. Action cinema simply could never have been the same afterwards.

I'm 10 years late on this one, but this movie is funnier than it has any right to be.

Everybody Is Emotionally Disturbed: The Film

In an alternate universe, Ben Affleck adapted and directed this film, set it in Boston, got Casey Affleck to play Sam, and then cast himself as Tommy. Can you see it? I can see it.
