Lee B. Golden III

It’s been six years too long for some action fans through December with Cleopatra’s announced acquisition of director Salamat Mukhammed-Ali’s newly titled thriller, Diamond Cartel. For this, we now have an official trailer to headline the film’s forthcoming early 2017 release and while the film certainly looks aiming to please the usual guilty pleasures, it does boggle the mind that unlike Armand Assante and the late, great Peter O’Toole, co-star and martial arts star Don “The Dragon” Wilson gets dubbed over… …Odd. SYNOPSIS: The charismatic and ruthless Mussa makes a deal to purchase the Star of East Diamond from the Hong-Kong triad crime boss ‘Mr. Lo’ – but not before being robbed via an inside job by his own people aka former lovers Aliya and Ruslan.

His final film to date, Salamat Mukhammed-Ali’s The Whole World At Our Feet is gearing up for a release early next year from Cleopatra Entertainment under the new title, Diamond Cartel, according to Deadline earlier this week.

Mukhammed-Ali wrote the script alomg with producer Dauren Mussa and co-scribe Magamet Bachev with a cast that joins O’Toole with an international mix of local stars and notables rounding out […]

Lee B. Golden III

Director Quentin Tarantino‘s latest film has quite the task to live up to with the impending releases of The Revenant, Point Break and Star Wars: The Force Awakens all releasing within a week part of each other. However, as extravagant as The Hateful Eight has been in the past few years up to now with the past several months giving us stills and a few posters to tease us with, it doesn’t appear to lessen the excitement much. Taratino didn’t miss a beat with his previous work on Django Unchained, so with this, he’s clearly in his element, and with a limited ceremonious Christmas release on 70mm Widescreen format, anyone looking forward to a glorious and gritty return to form in an awesome western will sure get it. SYNOPSIS: In THE HATEFUL EIGHT, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry […]
