Love this one. Transplanted folk horror invading the city rather than wayward city folk being consumed by folk horror, in a film crafted with an insane tactile grisliness and outrageous tone that could only happen in ‘90s horror

Revisited Master & Commander to show it to my dad for the first time, and can confirm that it’s the definition of movie that makes you go “that was a damn good film” as the credits roll

They don’t make ‘em like this anymore

Alright folks, we decided to split the content on my other NSFW account and have this one focus solely on the films. Plus it makes more sense to the partners I work with. Please follow and show love.

Trailer for the new Indonesian action crime thriller '13 Bombs' looks insane, intense fights, chases, explosions and firefights all with a scale and budget seldom seen from an Indonesian actioner VyceVictus ChristianV Anders - Insufferable Fringe Entity Andy “Action Movie Guy” Gorham #actiontwitter 😮🔥🙌👀

X-Men Evolution was the mutant show of my childhood, not TAS, but damn X-Men ‘97 is some awesomely confident animated TV. Sets up the kind of epic pay-off & spectacle in five 30 minute episodes, that some shows can’t achieve in whole seasons

From BULL director Paul Andrew Williams, pitch-black Brit crime drama LONDON TO BRIGHTON (2006) fuses 1980’s Gloria with grime-encrusted kitchen-sink realism and disturbing pit-in-stomach tension. Harrowingly superb performances throughout
(Thanks for the rec Clinton Coddington IV!)

Important update for all the splatter fiends out there

Excuse me, a new Ryoo Seung-wan movie just casually dropping like that? Sign me the hell up!

Kaiwi Lyman comes out of this with a serviceable stairwell fight that works well with its claustrophobic framing. No fancy moves or complicated combinations here, just desperate swings and hits that work within this reused section of steps.

Holy shit

Kinda just remembered that BuyBust existed. I feel like no one ever talks about that movie anymore; what’s the consensus - if there was one - looking like after six years? Itching to rewatch now

The way my brain works: will be fun to follow up Civil War and Sting with Bushwick and Eight Legged Freaks this weekend

#ActionTwitter should start using that. Broken Path isn’t a martial-arts movie, it’s just a movie where stylishly choreographed martial-arts fighting is an essential element
