By day, I'm a humble computer systems administrator, now, but in my life I've worked as a sound engineer, a radio disk-jockey, a custodian, a short-order cook and a whole host of other fun and educational occupations. No, I'm not a million years old and I don't know everything. I am a happily married father of three lovely girls and my family is the most important thing in my life. So, movie reviews just seemed to come naturally. You can see the connection, can't you?

Kung Fu Killer, much like it’s name, is a seriously flawed blend of quality elements that just don’t mix well. David Carradine isn’t a great actor but in the right role, like his plausible bad guy in Kill Bill, he’s near perfect. Daryl Hannah, too, can be charming and captivating in the right environment.

Okay, an admission right up front, this review contains spoilers for the film The Final Inquiry. Here it comes… Ready? Jesus dies. If that doesn’t shock or surprise you then absolutely nothing else about this movie will. It is, very nearly, the most mediocre film, ever. It’s not good, it’s [...]

I was taught, in school, that when you write a journalistic article that you never write in the first person. I just broke that rule. That’s going to be the first of many in this brief and very caustic review for The Cook - Unrated, produced by The Cook Movie, LLC and Red [...]
