JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN REVIEW


Reantimator takes a look at the new spy comedy sequel with Rowan Atkinson - returning to his bumbling, James Bond-esque role originally seen (under the name Richard Latham) in a bunch of Barclaycard ads that started in the late 80's. Will this be better than the original Johnny English?

THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!!!


Although Russian cinema goes back beyond the Soviet Union to when it was the Russian Empire, Andrei Konchalovsky, the director behind Hollywood films such as Runaway Train and Tango and Cash, was one of the first Russian directors that I had heard of that was working within the Hollywood system, or in the action genre in general.

12 HONG KONG KUNG FU MOVIES THAT KICK IT...HARD!!! (Part 1)

Right, this is were the fun begins!

So he thought it'd be nice to take a trip down memory lane and dish out the skinny on twelve such movies that any discerning fan o' the Fu should seek out IMMEDIATELY.
