Here we go again, Redcon-1. A thousand different websites for a thousand different zombie movies all say the same thing, this is one monster who has been exhausted way past the breaking point. In other news, rain is wet. I mock but in the past twenty years, you could probably […]

Police Story 1 & 2 (1985) Simply put, the Best Action Movie Ever Made (Review)
