From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025) Review
Considering the elegance and beauty of ballet, in the world of cinema being a ballerina can often be a sign of danger. From Jeong Hye-gyeong’s taekwondo infused ballerina routine in 1977’s Secret Agents II, to Jennifer Lawrence’s seductive moves in 2018’s Red Sparrow, tutu’s have never seemed so lethal as when they appear on the big screen. In 2025 Ana De Armas would join their ranks in Ballerina, who after … Continue reading

Broken Rhythm: Bruce Lee’s Game of Death (2026) Review
Some films end when the credits roll. Others continue long after the lights come up. Broken Rhythm belongs firmly in the latter category. Having attended both screenings at the New York City Independent Film Festival last week, it’s taken me some time to evaluate it—not because it’s obscure, but because it demands engagement from its audience. What makes Broken Rhythm so compelling is also what makes it challenging to write … Continue reading

Mortal Kombat II (2026) Review
You just know New Line was like, “we gotta get this out on VOD before The Furious hits theaters on Friday!” Which is my cheeky way of saying the fights in Mortal Kombat II are not very good, a truth that is made all the more glaring by the knowledge that choreographer Kensuke Sonomura and director Kenji Tanigaki are likely about to reshape the genre this weekend with their latest … Continue reading

By Z Ravas Contour is a 2006 independent martial arts comedy set in San Francisco, created by writer/director/producer/editor Eric Jacobus and his cohort of fellow martial artists and stunt performers who cheekily dub themselves The Stunt People.

By Z Ravas Canadian stuntman-turned-director James Mark has carved himself a reliable niche in the indie action space.

By Paul Bramhall In 2025 audiences were hit with the double whammy of the John Wick spin-off Ballerina, and the massively popular Netflix movie KPop Demon Hunters, so it was perhaps only a matter of time before someone thought to combine … Continue reading

By Z Ravas Mexicali is a movie that knows precisely what its audience wants and decides to give it to them without delay.

By Lauren Weiner Martial Law is a chronically under-loved action flick, one that perfectly embodies the so-bad-it’s-good sub-genre of early ‘90s action movies.

By Henry McKeand Steven Seagal is horrible. He’s horrible to stunt performers, he’s horrible to women, and he’s been a horrible screen presence for the vast majority of his career.

By Paul Bramhall I confess to being a fan of Steven Seagal’s movie output. Sure, depending on the era the kind of entertainment they deliver varies – the reasons you watch a 90’s Seagal movie are very different to the reasons you watch a … Continue reading
