Men In Black Conspiracy theorists (reportedly a term coined by the CIA to mock people seeking to discover the truths which they eagerly cover up) can be all over the map sometimes, but one story that gets told often is that of calm, patient and efficient government agents who almost always take charge at the […]
Mercenary For Justice Steven Seagal came into Hollywood with a great fury and abandon, having been a “martial arts instructor to the stars” before being signed to a multi picture deal. Even better was the belief that he had an alleged CIA background which gave him that extra aura which would ensure a steady fanbase […]
Metalstorm: The Destruction Of Jared-Syn Sometimes B-movie making comes up with the most absolute wretched shit, so much so that you can only imagine just how many of the actors involved had to be coaxed heavily just to say their lines or to buy into the plausibility of their characters and what they were being […]
