You may have been browsing through Netflix recently and seen a new thriller called The Watcher. Sure, the poster looks interesting, with a woman’s face in a bird’s silhouette, but do not be fooled! The superior The Watcher came out sixteen years ago! And have you seen...
Okay, let’s move on from all the hate and start getting into the good stuff. We’re not quite at “the best of”, but almost, I promise. First though, I have to have some You Gotta Love Them movies, movies that weren’t amazing but weren’t bad either. Some people might...
Re-watching Miami Connection and then watching it again. By Emily Milling I never ever get tired of watching Miami Connection and I show it to almost everyone I know, whenever the opportunity arises. Why? Because the quotability factor is high, the bizarre multi-plot...
Justin and Will talk Sylvester Stallone, RAMBO, ROCKY, THE ITALIAN STALLION and every other film they can think of in this super sized episode of THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB. Plus, a bonus mini-episode on Kevin Smith. [soundcloud...
