Last year I reviewed 1250 movies through my other movie blogs. After some major fall out with google, time constraints, moving, and a brutal shoulder injury from skateboarding, I consolidated all my sites into two. I have a horror movie review website, and I also have this site.

In an act of desperation, I accidentally deleted ALL my previous reviews from other sites. So in order to recap, instead of watching and writing all new reviews, I present to you, all 6 readers, Fast Movie reviews. These are done dirt cheap, and easy. I’ll also include purchasing options if you’ve been meaning to purchase any of them. I’ll do five at a time, and we’ll work our way through all thousands of movies I’ve seen….and then some.

Trust me…I’ve seen more movies than you can imagine.

Here’s four quick ones for the inaugural run:

Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior – This film is what fight fans have been craving for a long time. The story is basic: someone steals an ancient statue, and its up to one man to get it back. Along the way he has to fight several bad guys, run through town and get chased by all sorts of people.

Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior, ushered in a new fighting style to the big screen and dvd circuit. Action movie fans have grown weary of kung fu cinema, moving once stars to the straight to dvd market. (Segal, Van Damme, and many others) But to refresh the style, Tony Jaa does Thai Kickboxing, and does it so well, you believe that every kick is real.

Is it worthwhile?

YES.

Ong Bak is the real deal and worth checking out and purchasing. It is a breath of fresh air in the realms of action and martial arts cinema, the likes you’ve not seen before. Just don’t look for an academy award winning plot or style. It’s fast paced, easy to watch, and even poetic at times.

Pick up Ong Bak the Thai Warrior on dvd, as it is available now in special formats.

Ravenous – A lot of people missed this one, but I didn’t. This cannibal moving has a distinct style and premise; An isolated Army Base in the heart of the Rocky Mountains receives a distress call from a young man, who turns out to be a cannibal, and slowly starts to eat people!

As the officers begin to start disappearing, it is up to one man to stop him, and if you think you’ve figured it all out, a bear trap wakes you up.
This movie is raw, but is filmed in such a wonderful way. It is not a low budget horror fest, it is paced nicely, well acted, and eerily creepy. A serious film with great tone, and presence, it deserves a second or even first look.

Ravenous is available on dvd and is well worth the price of admission.

Inside Deep Throat – Not everyone is so open minded in this world, and many did not even consider picking up this amazing documentary about the infamous film “Deep Throat”. Sure the story is about a porno movie, but some might argue on behalf of the art in porn, rather than the vile nature of it all.

This film is Rated R, and even the unrated version doesn’t show penetration or anything truly bad.

I’ve seen the movie Deep Throat, and while some are quick to judge the film, others might consider it an interesting movie on all artistic values.

You have to consider that this documentary really digs deep to find information about the era, the movie, the makers, the actors and so much more. It truly is fascinating, but you have to open your mind a little, as it is not a documentary that will be shown in most history classes. Even though this movie tells a lot about the world we live in; past and present.

Inside Deep Throat is available on dvd now, and is worthwhile.

For the bad…

FEED – The movie feed is controversial in many ways. But the biggest draw to the film, is also the greatest negative vantage point you can get in the realm of cinema.

The movie revolves around a serial killer who feeds his victims to death, while running a gambling website where people bet on how fat the victims will get before they die. It is graphic in nature as you are seeing fat women, naked, bound, tied and force fed very fattening food. On the flip side, you also see very graphic masturbation scenes by the main character, and a sub plot that involves a near pornographic love scene between the main detective and what you believe is his girlfriend.

This film is disgusting on many levels, but intriguing in the way it projects a social climate and satire about the world we live in.

Not for everyone, and therefore a bad movie for most, but if you can “stomach” this film, you’re going to see a piece of noir that is not easily found in a lot of movies today.

Feed is available on dvd, and is very sick in many ways; but some people love that. If grindhouse movie theaters existed today, this would be one of the features.

If you’re interested in picking up any of these films, you can do so by clicking on the box art, going to the official sir Jorge amazon store, or your local video store.

For The Netflix fund - For the moment, I’m watching a ton of films, writing reviews and reading books. You can too, and if you order some stuff through my official webstore (powered by amazon) you can get stuff that you already are going to buy, and amazon will tip me a few cents...no pressure, just trying to pay the bills.
