Chances are if you remember this, it’s sort of vaguely, like you can picture Samuel L Jackson and Emilio Estevez but nothing else springs to mind. It’s been a long time and it was sort of a flop when it was released, especially compared to spiritual cousins like “The Naked Gun” (1988) and “Hot Shots!” … Continue reading
In a world with an effectively infinite number of entertainment options, when you run a super-popular movie review blog like this (current career earnings: $0) you have to artificially limit yourself in some way, for fear of being crushed by the sheer weight of choice. It’s why we did all 16 “Witchcraft” instalments, despite every … Continue reading
Looking back over “Stone Cold” and the amount of stuff that happens in it, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was three hours long; but it’s a trim and super action-packed 90 minutes, and not only that, it’s really good! While no-one would mistake Brian Bosworth for an actor, neither would they for Jean-Claude Van … Continue reading

Evan Lurie (Expect To Die; Hologram Man; Cyborg 3) Sherrie Rose (Summer Job; Night Claws; No Retreat, No Surrender 3; Cy-Warrior) Robert … Continue reading
Let’s make a deal, dear reader. Any movie that comes along looking like this, let’s just assume it’s terrible, stop watching it and move on with our lives. The warning signs: 1. The IMDB budget is listed at $10,000, and I’d suggest that’s being generous 2. There’s no lighting, but not in a Dogme 95 … Continue reading
We here at the ISCFC are long-time haters of Jalal Merhi. He’s perhaps the worst actor to ever headline multiple movies – he made his money from his family’s jewel business and plowed all that cash into making his own starring vehicles, always producing them, and often directing too. It’s really hard to over-emphasise just … Continue reading
