Spitfire (1995)

Hard Target (1993)
Many people see “Jean-Claude Van Damme” in the lead and think this another stupid, no-brainer action flick and guess what? It is! BUT, it is also a very entertaining film, kind of ripoff of the old “Most Dangerous Game” storyline….and,…

Dark Sanity (1982)
DARK SANITY is an interesting independent horror film made in America in 1982. The behind-the-scenes shenanigans seem to be just as interesting as the film itself with reports of the main cast members never getting paid for their work and…
Pieces (1982)
This movie is fun. That’s all that can be said. If you take it seriously you will probably be offended, but if you go into it with the right attitude and sense of humor you will come out entertained. The…
