Point Break The best action movies are generally widely thought of as being total adrenaline (and testosterone) fueled thrill rides, where the head long rush of excitement is what really matters the most over good writing, story, and character development (even as the films that also includes those things almost always rises to the top […]
Popeye Robin Williams spent much of his career in television, movies and stand up comedy honing a performance style that came to define him as such: a manic, motormouth funnyman capable of throwing out ad libs quicker than some viewers’ minds could discern them, something that was most definitely at play in nearly every comedy […]
Porky’s Notable as being one of the most raunchy comedies not only of the 80s, but maybe ever, this is also significant for probably having the BLANDEST ensemble cast of young actors ever seen in any major production. It’s kinda amazing how NOT ONE of its stars ever had any kind of a career beyond […]
Porky’s 2: The Next Day The incredibly smart decision to allow Bob Clark to return to direct the sequel to his raunch classic is probably the best thing about this movie. The pace and the flow are nearly as good as the original, and the reference to Clark’s own Christmas Story (involving the “major award”) […]

Predator Remembered today as one of the best pure action movies ever made as well as the most succinct fusion of that genre with sci-fi, this 1987 classic from director John (Die Hard) McTiernan of course brings front and center the undisputed king of 80s action in Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch, the leader of a […]
Prestige Christopher Nolan has proven that he is one of the last few Hollywood filmmakers capable of making almost totally original work, or at least original takes on familiar work (Dark Knight), so it’s little surprise when watching this 2006 release just how little it references from the past and comes across as something made […]
Primal Fear Basically the film that will always be remembered as the one that unleashed the tremendous acting talents of Edward Norton on the world, this also manages to be a solid, if flawed, courtroom drama. As Aaron Stampler, altar boy turned accused murderer, Norton manages to convince the viewer (and the other characters) of […]
