Gymkata
Gymnastics and martial arts, sounds like the perfect mix. You could be doing a back flip and kick some dude in the cherries, or maybe do some crazy cartwheel and become a windmill of kicks and punches. Maybe you could even be a world champion gymnast with a mullet and become the best hope for the SIA (the Special Intelligence Agency, of course) to compete in a deadly game that could influence the fate of the world! Maybe not, but it makes for an interesting if not comical film by acclaimed martial arts film director Robert Clouse, 1985's GYMKATA!
Best and Worst of 2008 – a Review of Reviews in Review.
It's the last day of the year 2008, and this marks the first year that we've been reviewing films. Well, it hasn't been a full year - we started this current incarnation of the website on March 8th, 2008 with our first review of Larry Cohen's "The Stuff" (note to ourselves - review more Larry Cohen films!). Anyhow, since it's the end of the year, we figured if you really wanted to you could browse around the site and look at all the stuff we've covered, but if you're the lazy type like us, this condensed view of some of our highlights and lowlights might be right up your alley. In this post you'll find some clips and summary of our highest rated films and lowest. So... without further adieu, let's get on with the show:
American Ninja
A G.I. with a mysterious past rescues the Colonel's daughter Patricia (Judie Aronson), when his convoy comes under attack from ninjas. While fighting the ninjas, the G.I. - Joe Armstrong (played by Michael Dudikoff) fends off the ninja force in impressive fashion, leading the head Ninja, Black Star Ninja (Tadashi Yamashita) to believe that he has some extraordinary skill, and may be a ninja himself.
Zombie Vs. Ninja
They say that money can't buy happiness, but it certainly can buy a position of influence... Those are the words that are spoken very early in the Godfrey Ho film Zombie Vs. Ninja. Unfortunately for you, you won't have any idea what that has to do with anything else that you'll see in the next hour and a half.
