Battle Queen 2020 (2001) — Movie Reviews by a Mook
Yet another example of an awesome movie poster (if not also totally ridiculous) that doesn’t actually represent what the movie is about in any way…well, outside of that costume. She really does wear that, except for whatever the weird armor shoulder pad and fur cape is. Also, there are no futuristic guns in this, folks […]

Ginger Snaps (2000)

Yeah, a Spaghetti Western. I know how much you guys love Spaghetti Westerns, which is to say, not at all. Too bad, this one is worth watching. It’s got cannibalism, rape, blood, and violence. It’s also got Lucio Fulci’s name there on the poster. You owe it to yourself to watch it now. Stubby Preston […]

Australian stuntmen engage in covert missions, perform death-defying stunts, and drink and shag women whose names they don’t remember! Huh, the “stuntmen” part of that sentence seems redundant. Steve Hall and Rodney Cann are a couple of stuntmen working in the Australian film and TV industry in the 1970s. The two are undeniable thrill seekers, […] […]
