Posted on March 23, 2024 by Action Flick Chick

After watching Drive Angry 3D, I’ve come to realize that Nicolas Cage’s character, Milton, is really a metaphor for Nicolas Cage. It doesn’t matter what you do to kill Milton, he just keeps coming. It doesn’t matter how hard his film bombs or what critics say about it, Cage will keep making funny and ridiculous, sometimes horrible, films, and by golly, I just can’t get enough.

Road House (1989): Skinny Dipping and Throat Ripping

Posted on March 16, 2024 by Action Flick Chick

When I heard about the Road House remake hitting the small screens, I was inspired to revisit the original cult classic to see how it strikes me now, decades after I first saw it. And, on rewatching it, what was the first thing I was struck by? Patrick Swayze’s buns. Continue reading →

Salt (2010) Review: Salty, Tasty Goodness

Posted on February 17, 2024 by Action Flick Chick

If there is one thing you can learn from Salt is that Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is a freakin’ kleptomaniac! How many outfits does one highly-skilled CIA operative need to steal? Don’t you have any morals?! Oh wait, Salt’s a highly skilled CIA operative- of course she doesn’t have morals. Continue reading →
