Under Siege 2: Dark Territory
February 20, 2006
As a self-confessed Steven Seagal fan, I yearn for the days when Stevie was making theatrical releases along the lines of Under Siege (1992), The Glimmer Man (1996) and, to a lesser extent, Exit Wounds (2001). His later offerings are hard, even for me,...
The Matrix

“George (Lucas) never saw this (phantom) menace coming” was the quote used in one publication to herald the theatrical release of the Wachowski Brothers’ The Matrix. A film that redefines the action genre and brings science fiction to the mass market....
xXx
November 19, 2003

G.I. Jane
October 19, 2003
G.I. Jane flopped at the box office. This is an incontrovertible fact. It was a dead flop. As said in the movie ‘America is just not ready to see its young women come home in body bags’. However I think this film is still worthy of merit....

October 2, 2003
When it comes to Highlander and its legion of undaunted fans there most certainly can be only one, incarnation of Highlander that is – and it’s not the films. The T.V. series that started in 1992 and ran for 6 seasons saw Conner Macleod’s...
