Charles Napier
Charles L. Napier (April 12, 1936 – October 5, 2011) was a prolific American actor, who after his film debut mainly worked in supporting roles. Napier’s strong voice, steely gaze and distinctive broad jutting chin made him immediately convincing as the…

The first poster for ‘Sharknado 3’ has been spotted – and it hints at the action branching out into the heavens. Yes, space. That’s shark-laden tornadoes… in space. It’s not like the first movie – in which sharks whipped up…
Dragonfly Squadron (3-D)
Well this is a treat! As a movie, Dragonfly Squadron (1954) is fairly ordinary, a war movie with a familiar story and genre stereotypes: hardline, humorless commanding officer; sly second-in-command, subordinate with a personal grudge against his commanding officer, a…
Z Nation Has Plenty Of Bite
Each week, I tune in faithfully to my favourite zombie program, settle in with some snacks and wait patiently to see who they bump off next. When a zombie chases you in “Z Nation,” he or she is going flat-out,…

Extraterrestrial is a cheap and cheerful B-movie
IF YOU go down to the woods this weekend you might have a close encounter with Extraterrestrial, an enjoyably cheesy B-movie containing some unexpected twists and a good few laughs, intentional and otherwise. Director: Colin Minihan Stars: Brittany Allen, Freddie Stroma,…
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
In 2013, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will turn 40 years old. I find this very hard to believe because this movie hasn’t aged a single day. And although cinema has gone through a major evolution in the past 40 years,…
“Interstellar” Is A Big, Beautiful, Insane B Movie
Christopher Nolan’s very big budget, big studio, big screen “Interstellar”: it’s three hours long, and completely insane. Some of it is a tribute to “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Some of it riffs Steven Spielberg’s later period — “Minority Report,” “A.I.,”…
Walking Tall: Lone Justice
No, “Walking Tall: Lone Justice” doesn’t resume where “Walking Tall: The Payback” ended. The major players in Dallas behind sleazy Howard Morris—Traxell Byrne (Jerry Cotton of “American Outlaws”) and his right-hand henchman, Lou Dowdy (Todd Terry of “The Anarchist Cookbook”)—got…
