Who’s the Best Action Movie Hero? Let’s Settle This

A bracket (see below) recently made the rounds asking a bold question: Who is the best action movie hero? The catch—no superpowers allowed. That means no Cap, no Supes, no Wolverine. Just grit, gadgets, fists, and firepower. Naturally, I had to throw in my picks. And like any good bracket, there’s room for debate, chaos, and maybe even a twist ending. For this exercise, I’m sticking to who the graphic included and totally not gonna mention they forgot Lee from Enter the Dragon. Let’s break it down: First Round Picks Second Round Semifinals Final: Wick vs. The Bride A battle … Continue reading Who’s the Best Action Movie Hero? Let’s Settle This

Review: Captain America: Brave New World

Was able to catch this one in the theater over the weekend. Enjoyed this one more than I think I was expecting to. Always enjoyed Papa Doc as the Falcon and I liked how they played him as the new Cap without trying to be the old Cap. It was kind of a big theme, and a smart choice. Especially liked the “serum or not to serum” debate. Harrison Ford is starting to look every bit of his age, but that helps here. He is playing a guy who is a career asshole on the wrong side of a lot. … Continue reading Review: Captain America: Brave New World

Review: The Crow (2024)

I’m a Crow fan. No, like, I’m that guy: My license plate was even Crow related. Although in a painful twist, it was The Crow 2, because apparently someone in Illinois beat me to The Crow 1. More on why that hurt a little later. That being said, I’ve have never been a guy clamoring for a remake of The Crow, which came out when I was 13 years old and became a nearly nightly staple of my high school bedtime ritual. When I say I’ve watched it a thousand times, it is not an exaggeration. No wonder I didn’t … Continue reading Review: The Crow (2024)

CineWeez: The Iron Claw

I was a wrestling kid growing up. And at the age of 45, that means I was watching World Class Championship Wrestling on ESPN every week in the early 80s. My first favorite wrestler I can remember having? Kevin Von Erich. Apparently I always gravitated to the smaller, athletic guys. Later on, it would be Dynamite Kid, Jyushin Lyger, Brian Pillman and so on. But first, there was Kevin. The barefoot, lanky flyer (for that time, at least). He had the best standing drop kick in the business as far as I can remember at that time. Yes kids, there … Continue reading CineWeez: The Iron Claw
