Rapid Fire (1992)

95 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

Okay, so "Rapid Fire" is an action/thriller with the action coming in the form of martial arts, and the thrills, well they stayed at home. Honestly "Rapid Fire" is a very weak movie, the plot is nothing special and is riddled...

Mystery Woman: Redemption (2006)

77 mins     Crime, Mystery, TV Movie      

Whilst not the fourth movie in the series "Mystery Woman: Redemption" is the fourth one which I have watched and it is interesting to see how the series has transitioned. It started off a bit awkwardly, then it found its groo...

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)

96 mins     Comedy, Drama, Musical      

There is a very simple way to describe "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story", it is basically "Walk the Line" but turned into a comedy. Not just "Walk the Line" as it also includes elements of "Ray", "The Doors" and various other ...

American Crude (2008)
