THE BEAST IN ME: Get A Ringside Look At The Cast In New BTS Images From The Upcoming MMA Drama
Very little can be officially said early on with Tyler Atkins’s new MMA drama, The Beast In Me, save for what’s available now via Instagram. Thanks to actors Daniel MacPherson (Land Of Bad) and Bren Foster (Life After Fighting), we now have a brief look behind-the-scenes showcasing the looks of their characters in the film, including a polaroid of a bruised MacPherson which you can see in the first slide of his most recent Instagram post from over the weekend. The post comes a few weeks after Foster also teased his role in a seperate post hinting with the caption reading in part “New hair, new character, new movie, new fights!!…”. Filming took place over the weekend set against the backdrop of an event at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, as announced last Fall. Atkins directs a cast led by MacPherson, Foster, and Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator), from […]
Streaming Sleepers: Bren Foster’s LIFE AFTER FIGHTING Fights On Via Tubi!
I can say with full certainty that actor and filmmaker Bren Foster’s new movie, Life After Fighting, is one of this year’s best watches among the martial arts fandom. And, plenty would agree. The film opened in the U.S. on digital over the summer and enjoyed festive screenings for select audiences in the U.S. as well as locally in Australia where Foster is based. The action-packed drama sets off when an ex-champion-turned-teacher is forced to confront a chilling revelation in his neighborhood when two of his students go missing. The story intensifies well into the second half when our hero finds himself confronting the odds, turning his school into ground zero for the ultimate battle against a small army of child traffickers. Crucial to its success, in my view at least, is the heightened drama that sets in when the stakes are raised. The tangible subject matter is easily something […]
A Case For Better Action Movies: In LIFE AFTER FIGHTING, Bren Foster Understood The Assignment
Life After Fighting is now available in select theaters and on digital from Vertical Entertainment 5.5 min. read Small scale, independent martial arts action movies are at the heart of what I cover on this platform. It takes a lot of effort to make these kinds of films happen, and in doing so, it also takes a great deal of talent and creative moxie to not only make these movies, but to make them fantastic, and memorable. I’m pretty picky about these movies too, having come up from supporting a number of indie action stunt teams in the last twenty years, and subsequently cutting my teeth as a film critic on both sides of the scrutiny fence. As such, I’m not inflexible as a fan of the genre, but I know what I want, and equally, what I don’t want. This was still the case last year when actor and […]

LIFE AFTER FIGHTING: Bren Foster Lays Waste To Child Traffickers In The First Trailer
Well, it’s been a bit of a day off from the website on Friday at least but now I get to kick off the weekend with the first trailer now online for Life After Fighting. The film marks the directorial debut for actor and martial artist Bren Foster who stars in the film from his own script. Foster plays a martial arts teacher whose life takes a dark turn as he finds himself treading into the human trafficking underworld in hopes of rescuing his two kidnapped students. It was back in mid-August last year during an Art Of Action episide when Foster spoke more about the film and you’re welcome to tap here to have a watch. As for the trailer, can no one ever say that Foster doesn’t go out of his way to deliver the goods in the fresh footage we’re getting. The first minute-and-a-half certainly boils things […]

Intergalactic Pandemonium In The New Trailer For Sci-Fi Space Epic, INFINI
Aussie director Shane Abbess was sure to find his way to better prospects in Hollywood following his directorial debut in the 2007 winning Andy Whitfield starrer, Gabriel. Of course, that was before he decided that much of the progress he’d hoped for in Hollywood wasn’t going to come anytime soon due to market saturation and the unpopularity of original content and evidently moved back to Australia where he eventually found himself in greener pastures for his latest contribution to the sci-fi action genre, Infini, which surely looks to give longtime sci-fi fans something to celebrate. SYNOPSIS: An elite ‘search and rescue’ team transport onto an off-world mining-facility to rescue Whit Carmichael, the lone survivor of a biological outbreak. A teaser went viral last year and now we have a full trailer for the film’s upcoming May 8 limited release from Vertical Entertainment. Daniel MacPherson and Grace Huang are joined by […]
