FURIOUS 7 Gets A New Clip, Poster And More!

I’ve written and rambled to almost no end about the Fast And Furious franchise, and at this point, I think director James Wan‘s latest installment with Furious 7 is in no commercial danger of failing at the box office. This franchise has long been a hit having turned from a standalone action thriller into a sprawling saga of epic proportions that continues to stand the test of time. Probably the most fascinating thing will be observing at least one half of this new film with a digitally inserted Paul Walker who departed us in late 2013 halfway through the production, and watching how this will affect the story when it commenses on April 3 in theaters and IMAX. For this, there’s plenty of reason to appreciate what’s been done here ahead of how Universal Pictures, as well as this amazing cast plan on delivering the rest of this epic tale […]

Japan Gets A Home Release Date For DREDD

Lee B. Golden III

When Dredd underperformed at the box office late last year, it was a heavily-dealt blow to cult fans everywhere who not only love the franchise, but also paid great credibility to director Pete Travis and screenwriter Alex Garland for their unique vision of the future post apocalyptic action sci-fi crime story with action star Karl Urban in the lead. While Dredd may have faltered in efforts for a sequel, the film did exceptionally well in Blu-Ray, DVD and digital download sales. Moreover, in addition to the work of independent filmmaker Oliver Holingdale and Dredd producer Adi Shankar working on their own short film projects, Dredd is also being promised a sequel by way of an impending comic book release. Fans can still purchase the film, as it is still being newly relased throughout the world depending on where you live. This summer, Japan is slated to release the film domestically […]

FILM OF THE WEEK: DEATH GRIP (2012)

Lee B. Golden III

DEATH GRIP, a 2011 co-production of The Stunt People and Action Pact Entertainment and finally released on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2012, is by far one of the best independent martial arts action movies you will ever see. It has elements of comedy, love, tragedy, and classic fight sequences in a story written, edited, choreographed and directed by Eric Jacobus. The film also stars Nathan Hoskins, LaChe Milo, Rebecca Ahn, Caitlyn Corson and martial arts action star and EYESHINE frontman Johnny Yong Bosch, along with SP veteran stunt performers such as Cheslea Steffensen, Ray Carbonel, Alvin Hsing, Shaun Finney, Lucas Okuma and Edward Kahana Jr. Trust and believe when I say that this film took more than everything that Eric had, along with the generous contributions of others to help make this film happen. Furthermore, having previously seen various shortfilms by SP, and their very first feature film, Contour, after […]
