Action Heroine versus Horror Heroine – What’s the Diff?

Action Flick Chick | November 28, 2009

Notice that it’s horror heroine and not horror chick. A film can have a sorority’s worth of horror chicks, but only one horror chick gets to be the Final Girl, that heroine who outlasts all the rest.

Ong-Bak (2003)

Action Flick Chick | November 26, 2009

OngBak

It’s the time of year to give thanks to many things like having family, health, or being alive. Blah, blah, blah. That’s all nice and well, but one thing I am thankful for is FREAKIN’ TONY JAA!!!!!! He deals out wall to wall ass-spankings in Ong-bak, and today I give thanks that I am his friend, not his foe.

Several people mentioned the comedy Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, but that’s no action movie. Addams Family Values at least includes a strangely violent Thanksgiving play at summer camp.
Last year the Chick had no [...]

Frankly, though, a lot of them are boring. Many go on too long, sometimes reenacting too much movie before getting to a real punchline which then [...]

You have been warned, this is a spoiler, not a review. The Box, starring Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, and Frank Langella, is a thriller about [...]
