MR-9: Do or Die (2023) - Movie Review
- Details
- By Loron Hays
With slick action scenes and solid acting, MR-9: Do Or Die is an action flick which seems a bit out of step with its contemporaries. I mean that in a good way. It feels very 1990, especially with the amount of logical leaps it makes, but - as the film is based on a long-running set of novels ...

- Details
- By Loron Hays
She’s a one woman army! There are a lot of differing opinions on The Thundering Sword. Released by The Shaw Brothers in 1967, this martial arts classic (as its Cheng Pei Pei’s first starring role!) flips the script on the whole sword-killing machismo that was dominant in the martial arts ...

King Kong (1976) - 4K UHD Blu-ray Steelbook Review
- Details
- By Loron Hays
For some people, this was the King Kong they were raised on. For others, nothing trumps the original. For me, the 1976 version of King Kong is nothing to go bananas over . . . even if Jessica Lange looks mighty tasty. It might have launched Lange’s career and given Rick Baker an incredibly ...

Boy Kills World (2024) - Movie Reivew
- Details
- By Loron Hays
Round one! Operating like a mad take on a game of Mortal Kombat (and just as kinetic), Boy Kills World is a violent thrill ride as a man named “Boy” gets his revenge on the woman who murdered his family. Be warned as this action flick is not for the weak of heart. Nor is it for ...

Shaw Brothers Classics, Vol. 1: The Assassin (1967)
- Details
- By Loron Hays
This is the story of a working-class hero. Seriously. Sure, he may have a top-knot hair style and a shiny blade at his side, but Jimmy Wang Yu is nobody’s sucker. The Assassin is a blood-soaked suicide letter and, thanks to the talent behind the camera, it comes across as almost effortless in its ...

Godzilla (2014) - 4K UHD Review
- Details
- By Loron Hays
Okay, let’s get the transfer quality out of the way. It’s much better than what came before, but black levels still crush in some key moments of Godzilla, which simply hurts my soul. Why someone can’t get this right is beyond me. The clarity is still not there and, while the night scenes are a sharp ...
