Batman And Robin (product link) Action/Adventure / Crime Terrible, terrible tripe. The last of the original run of "Batman" movies, "Batman And Robin" takes a huge leap backwards and returns the series to its cornball tendencies established with the 60s cartoon show. Everything is overly gaudy, from the set design to the costumes to the acting, and the story is too unbelievable to be entertaining. Skip this garbage and watch "Batman Begins" instead.
The Avenging Fist (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I was expecting something since Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung were in this film, but damn I was wrong. There are a whole bunch of CGI fights in this movie that look poorly choreographed, and you barely get to see Yuen Biao or Sammo throughout the whole film. As a matter of fact, Sammo doesn't even get to pull any hits, and the villain is garbage. And is it just me or did they try to rip off Tekken? I mean Wang Lee Hom looks like he's trying to be Jin, and Stephen Fung looks like a wannabe Hwoarang. Obviously the lead actors have very, very, very little training in martial arts, and it shows a lot. Yuen Biao pulls off some spectacular moves, and it'd look sweet even without CGI. I would've given the film a lower rating, but two legends are in the film and the CGI did look pretty good. Skip it unless you're into pop stars.

Bulletproof Monk (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts A decent movie, but only for the involvement of Chow Yun-Fat. A lackluster story with a weak villain coupled with terrible fight scene editing/wirefu/CG, but somewhat enjoyable nonetheless. Give it a rental and then leave it alone.

A Better Tomorrow (product link) Action/Adventure / Bullet Ballet Classic John Woo film, almost made me cry. But definitely definitely worth buying and watching multiple times. Excellent acting, of course, and stylistic as ever with a great story.

The New York Ripper (product link) Horror / Thriller This movie was okay. There was very little suspense that led to nothing. I was let down time and again. Major problems for me was not enough gore and a weak script. Not one of Fulci's best.
Outpost (product link) Horror / Action/Adventure "Outpost" is a movie that has so much potential for the next action and horror genre, but in the end stupid cliches, poor dialogue, and unconvincing creepiness gives this flick a one and half stars.
"Outpost" has a decent plot, taking cues from the film "Predator", with a bunch of mercenaries on a mission to help a shady man in war-torn Europe. Like I said the story is decent but the action and scares were dull, lacking any thrills about a story dealing with testosterone because there are no women in this film.
But I do see an up and coming star, Ray Stevenson, he was a bad ass in this flick and a great actor, plus he is the new "Punisher". I wish I could say the same thing about the movie.
