[DeadAlive]

Fireball
Some extremely violent action but very little else in this Thai film that combines basketball and underground fighting. If only the characters and story had half as much going for it as the action...........

The Big Hit
I just can't take Mark Wahlberg seriously as an action star. He makes me laugh, especially when he's trying to be serious or tough. Kirk Wong delivers some cracking action and that helps lift this just above average. Enjoyable but very forgettable fluff with Lou Diamond Phillips overacting his socks off.


Black Samurai
Jim Kelly Blaxploitation directed by Al Adamson that is more unintentional laughs than actual thrills. Bad acting, bad dialogue, bad fight scenes. They just don't make them like this anymore. I understand Al Adamson was quite the exploitation merchant in the late sixties through to the seventies. From some of his other films titles I must try and watch some more of his films.
