FIGHT OR FLIGHT: Three Minutes, Thirty Stunt Guys, Tons Of Action In Godefroy Ryckewaert’s New Short
It’s worth a reminder that Godefroy Ryckewaert came under my radar just as The Hit List took off in late 2014. He was, and remains a recurring favorite around these parts and so his latest short, Fight Or Flight, should offer up a fair excuse to tout him accordingly.

TALES OF THE LOST: Before You See KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC, Watch Ray Mona’s Extensive Docu-Series About ‘Saint Seiya’
Tomek (or Tomasz) Baginski’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Saint Seiya, otherwise dubbed Knights Of The Zodiac, is just weeks away from its subsequent releases in Japan and then in the U.S. between now and May. For this, it’s worth noting the importance of the study of a property’s origins before passing judgment on a project based on a certain thing, and I say this, especially to the marginal and often wilfully obtuse crowd of online movie curmudgeons and fandoms who enjoy doom-scrolling and tweet fighting and rage-baiting daily.
ASDO Throws Down, Kigurumi Style!
If you were to walk up and tell me that the future of action cinema is a guy somewhere in New Jersey getting together with his friends and doing martial arts shortfilms donning Kigurumi onesies, don’t be surprised if I shrug with approval. Joey Min has been on my radar since I discovered him for myself collabing with the likes of Fernando Jay Huerto and Jon Truei over the years with Min’s Art School Dropouts indie label in full tilt as an ambitious, self-nurturing and ever-growing wheelhouse of creativity with a keenness on kung fu cinema and comedy, Min can go fight a ham sandwich for all I care. I’m all in, and this latest video from the ASDO was cool. Enjoy!
