Jason Statham ‘n ‘Rambo: Last Blood’ Fusion? Watch the Trailer for the Sly-penned actioner from director David Ayer

"A Working Man" Theatrical Poster

“A Working Man” Theatrical Poster

Steven Seagal was just a cook in Under Siege. Daisy Ridley was just a window cleaner in Cleaner. Jean-Claude Van Damme was just a gardener in The Gardener. Now, Jason Statham (The Meg, Redemption, The Expendables) is just a construction worker in MGM’s A Working Man.

Formerly known as Levon’s Trade, this upcoming actioner – written by Sylvester Stallone (its plot is dangerously similar to Rambo: Last Blood) – reunites Statham with The Beekeeper director, David Ayer (End of Watch, Suicide Squad).

Joining Statham is David Harbour (Extraction), Michael Peña (Narcos: Mexico), Jason Flemyng (The Iron Mask) and Arianna Rivas (The Harvest). Daren Nop, who served as fight coordinator for films such as Fast X and The King’s Man, will be handling the film’s hand-to-hand action Continue reading

Prosecutor, The (2024) Review

"The Prosecutor" Theatrical Poster

“The Prosecutor” Theatrical Poster

Director: Donnie Yen
Co-directror: Ho Pong Mak
Cast: Donnie Yen, Julian Cheung, Shirley Chan, Kent Cheng, Michael Hui, Ray Lui, Mark Cheng, Kang Yu, Pak Hon Chu, Adam Pak, Kong Lau, Liza Wang
Running Time: 118 min. 

By Paul Bramhall

Is it just me or is Donnie Yen making a bit of a niche for himself riffing on Yuen Biao’s 1980’s era? During the 2010’s we got a 2-part remake of The Iceman Cometh with Iceman 3D and Iceman: The Time Traveller, and now in the 2020’s we have The Prosecutor. While not announced as a remake, the parallels to Biao’s 1986 classic Righting Wrongs are glaring. Both feature a prosecutor who also happens to know kung-fu. Whereas Righting Wrongs dubiously endorsed vigilante justice, The Prosecutor dubiously endorses the beating of mothers who are hopeless drug addicts. We even get a carpark set action scene in both productions, with Yen ducking and diving to avoid being hit by a vehicle much the same way Yuen Biao did almost 30 years ago.

Since his disastrous attempt to move into purely dramatic territory with 2022’s lamentable Polar Rescue, in the last couple of years Yen made the wise decision to stick to his action roots, notably also stepping into the director’s chair for his 2023 Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils adaptation Sakra. He remains in the director’s chair for The Prosecutor, returning to the contemporary actioner (not counting his supporting role in John Wick: Chapter 4) that feels synonymous with the Yen brand of action for the first time since 2021’s Raging Fire. Opening with Yen as a cop leading Continue reading

Spotting Excellence: Mastering the Art of Choosing Quality Online Casino Platforms

Source: pexels.com

Millions of people worldwide now find online gambling to be an exciting hobby. But finding the right platform sometimes does feel like trying to find a diamond in a sea of pebbles because there are so many online casino sites available on the internet at the moment. Knowing how to spot a top-tier online casino platform is the key to having an amazing gaming experience. Chance isn’t the only factor, not by a long shot. Here’s an in-depth look at what makes the best different from the rest and how to make decisions that will always pay off.

Trust Is Your Ace in the Hole

Reliability is a must when selecting an online casino. A high-quality platform will always be properly licensed by respectable organizations like as the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, or others. These licenses guarantee that the casino complies with stringent guidelines, including those pertaining to data security and fair play. Approximately 70% of online gamblers feel that reliability is the most important factor to them when choosing a platform, according to recent studies.

However, there are other indicators of legitimacy than license. Verify that the terms and conditions are explicit and that the policies regarding bonuses, withdrawals, and deposits are unambiguous. When it comes time to cash out your winnings, the top platforms avoid unpleasant surprises by keeping things simple.

OnlineCasinos.co.za, a top platform that has established itself as one of South Africa’s most reliable online casino centers, is a notable example. It directs gamers to safe, regulated casinos that prioritize quality. With its well-chosen suggestions, this website offers you a good starting point for your search.

Why Platforms like OnlineCasinos.co.za Stand Out

When it comes to finding trusted platforms in a crowded market, the Online Casinos platform is a game changer. This site does the legwork for you, analyzing and reviewing the best casinos so you don’t have to sift through endless options.

Their suggestions center on licensed platforms that are excellent in areas such as bonus fairness, user experience, and game variety. This resource guarantees that you will find a platform that suits your interests while upholding the greatest standards of quality and safety, regardless of your level of experience with online gambling.

User Experience Is King

Slow loading times or awkward designs kill the fun more quickly than anything else. The top online casinos make significant investments in slick, user-friendly interfaces. These platforms make it simple to monitor your account balance, claim bonuses, and switch between games.

Compatibility on mobile devices is yet another crucial component. A platform that can not accommodate mobile consumers may as well be in the stone age since smartphones now account for almost 60% of all online gaming. Reputable casinos guarantee smooth gameplay on all devices, so you can play poker or spin the reels from the comfort of your couch or while on the go.

In addition to being easy to use, the best platforms have amazing game libraries that cater to all types of players. Variety is essential, whether of your preference for high-stakes poker, traditional slots, or engaging live dealer games. Not only are there plenty of these games, but top developers like Microgaming, NetEnt, or Evolution Gaming are behind them, ensuring amazing visuals, captivating gameplay, and equitable results.

The Numbers That Matter

For many gamers, bonuses and promotions are a major attraction; but, their value goes beyond mere size. If a dazzling sign-up bonus comes with unrealistic wagering rules, it is useless. The top online casinos find a mix between fairness and charity.

A solid bonus, for instance, will have a sensible playthrough requirement—usually between 20 and 30 times. Run the other way if you come upon a casino providing a 200% deposit match with a 70x gameplay requirement. Quality sites want you to enjoy their bonuses, not fight to clear them.

Payload speed is another figure of interest. According to studies, 85% of online gamblers like systems with quick withdrawal timeframes. One casino you should stay away from is one that requires you to wait days—or worse—weeks to retrieve your gains. Search for sites using contemporary payment systems like e-wallets or cryptocurrencies that provide either instant or same-day payouts.

Payment Flexibility Is a Must

The payment choices of any successful casino platform are among the unsung heroes of its design. Imagine striking the jackpot only to find you cannot withdraw your money since the site does not accept your chosen approach.

Offering a mix of credit cards, e-wallets, and even region-specific payment systems, the greatest casinos appeal to both local and worldwide gamers. Not overlooked is security. Advanced encryption technologies used on top-tier systems guard your financial data and guarantee that every transaction is safe from prying eyes.

Another feature of a reliable casino is openness about costs. Although some transactions may have inevitable modest costs, these should be communicated upfront unambiguously. A major red sign is hidden costs, hence avoid platforms that don’t clear things out.

Over to You

Though it may seem like looking for a needle in a haystack, choosing the ideal online casino platform does not have to be. Your chances of finding a great site will be much increased by concentrating on dependability, user experience, fair bonuses, and flexible payment choices.

OnlineCasinos.co.za is a great tool for reducing your options to just the best and most trustworthy platforms if you require some assistance starting. In terms of online gaming, playing smart really begins with selecting the correct casino. Thus, confidently begin your gaming path knowing you have the means to identify quality like a professional.

Lucky Seven | aka 7 Ninja Kids (1986) Review

"Lucky Seven" Theatrical Poster

“Lucky Seven” Theatrical Poster

Director: Chao Chen-Kuo
Cast: Chiao Pei, Yang Wei-De, Lin Tung-An, Wang Chi-Cheng, Cheng Wei-Pai, Chang Chai-Ming, Hsu Yu-Ta, Hsiao Hung-Me, Eugene Thomas, Chang Yi-Teng
Running Time: 90 min.

By Paul Bramhall

Spend long enough in the niche genre that is kung-fu cinema, and you’ll eventually find yourself exploring some of the more obscure corners of what’s on offer. One such corner is that of the Taiwanese kids kung-fu movie, a sub-genre that rose to prominence in the 80’s and lasted into the early 90’s. While the traditional kung-fu flick was on the way out by the beginning of the 80’s, in Hong Kong the likes of Jackie Chan kept audiences engaged through bigger stunts, and an evolution into a more modern kickboxing style of screen combat. Taiwan and Korea on the other hand, while attempting to emulate the same, largely shifted their focus to making productions aimed at kids, and it was a move that turned out to be a successful one.

Many of these productions made the decision to actually have kids headline the cast, and some of the first out of the gates were 1980’s The Flying Tigers and the Kung Fu Kids and Kung Fu Kids Break Away. In 1986 the first entry of the popular Kung Fu Kids series hit the screens, spawning 5 sequels over the next 3 years, plus a reboot in 1992! Suffice to say, if watching Continue reading
