Kung Fu Flick Satrudays: Rendezvous With Death (1980)

So yeah it a been a minute since I decided to kick in the door with such excitement. But hey, who are you and what kind of style do you practice? You are no match for my Drunken Style... That being said, I digress.
Another joint straight from the faults of the no fuckery era, "Rendezvous With Death" is hard hitting from jump. The variety of weapons and styles is always a good start for what ever martial arts flick you check out. So def make sure you get your dose of sound effects and bad dubbing on this joint.

Saturday Morning Throwy: A Pup Named Scooby Doo

So the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series had gotten a rebirth to break down the roots of Mystery Inc. It was the nitty gritty of the committee and of course the infamous introduction of Red Herring. The difference between the chase scenes in this animation versus the classic is that they would cut to clips of each character of the team, and usually the apparent villain, dancing, na mean. These kids had some of the weirdest adventures known to childhood, and they made it to their young adulthood unscathed! Fortunately the sequel was written way before the prelude and you get an idea of who was what and what was who. In the end, they found a van and learned that smoking weed was the best way to cope with such traumatic experiences. Peace be to the trees and evil lurky people. And we would've of gotten away with it too....

12 Years A Slave…by B.



One night after Halloween, I sat through a two and a half hour nightmare; cringing, turning away, needing to escape, trapped in reality.

Slavery is real. It happened in America. Slavery is America. Whether we’d like to acknowledge, embrace, downplay or deny relation to this nightmare – we’re drenched in it. My parents are foreign born, but every ounce of my being reacted to this movie as if I were indeed a slave. As you would in a horror film, I whispered shouts of pain, anguish and instruction at the screen, nudging my date in the side. “Run, kill him, don’t do it!”

Afterwards, I walked into the public men’s restroom and stood at a urinal next to a white man. Fifty years ago I would’ve been beaten up and arrested. Standing in the line for popcorn, I smiled at a white woman. One hundred years ago, I would’ve been murdered by lynching. I shuddered as chills ran down my spine at the thought of then and reality of now. We are near removed from legal slavery and the Jim crow terrorism in America. The aftershock of this, man’s greatest sin, will reverberate throughout eternity.

The cinematography was exquisite. Texture, color, creative views of water, sky and character drew the eye when the heart wanted to run. The score was haunting, scary, terrific and moving. Heartbreaking drums and shrieking violins made the movies Jaws and Halloween seem like Pee-wee’s Playhouse.

Reel Reviews: Machete Kills

When it comes to movies, you already know there isn't much room to debate with the "GTFOH" scale. Robert Rodriguez goes ahead and says fuck all that and reproduces the absurdity in Danny Trejo's reprisal as "Machete". From jump you know where things are going, starting from the second your hear that Grindhouse preview music and only ridiculousness ensues. How far fetched was the whole premise and continuation of craziness in this sequel? Well...

Dirty Ninja Radio (10-8-13)


Another week of mayhem with the ninjas!
Watch as they discuss the most pressing topics in ninjography and hip hopology.
Yeah we make up words, so what, big whoop, want to fight about it?

Blue Magic is no joke.

So last week local news reported a major crack down on a trafficking operation rooted in NYC and streaming its way up the Hudson Valley. The only thing is that there's been four overdoses in the past two weeks in a small town. They're linking it to the outbreak 9 months ago that had taken lives and brought an eye opening message to local communities. What can we do about this?

Reel Reviews: Gravity

So I decided to go see this flick out of pure curiosity and for the love of the Sci-fi genre in general. The immediate approach was rather surprising with all the modern opening credit scenes for films of this standard usually being over the top. A simple all white Warner Bros. shield is presented at the very beginning over a solid black background which set the tone. which was followed by a quick title slide and sound that let you know you're in space.
