Bio: I'm going to fudge my rankings and uprank movies that are my actual favorites. My favorite movies are rarely the best in craft. And while one of my favorites may be the expertly crafted The Godfather, I'm not going to be using this unique opportunity to recommend you something you already know you should see. If you were waiting for me personally to convince you to watch Seven Samurai, you have put too much pressure on a guy that likes Michael Dudikoff films. I had previously given Ravenous an 86 when in reality it's a 75 tops. Now it's a 100. Welcome to my recommendations.

| 72 72% | Tokyo Fist (1995) - Rated 24 Apr 2024
"When you replace Rocky with Ricky Ho from Riki-Oh you should probably expect Adrian to end up leaving Ricky/Rocky for Apollo Creed before becoming obsessed with implanting metal bars into her body. It tracks."

| 45 15% | Excision (2012) - Rated 24 Apr 2024
"Interesting as a prequel to Scorned (2013), a film that has less than a thousand viewers listed on letterboxd and only 25 here on criticker. So while that take may be interesting to next to no one, the film itself did not hold much for me as a standalone film, which is as was intended. Weird tone for a coming of age awkward/dark comedy coupled with a reputation for viscera that didn't do for me what I assumed it wanted to. Seriously though, follow this up with Scorned."

| 80 88% | Sexy Beast (2001) - Rated 23 Apr 2024
"SPOILER ALERT: A literal beast at the end? What is this, The Departed?"

| 82 91% | Calvary (2014) - Rated 23 Apr 2024
"The perfect combination of First Reformed and Beach Blanket Bingo"
|
| 64 45% | Teenage Innocence (1973) - Rated 22 Apr 2024
"The tables are turned on a playboy businessman when two hitchhikers he's picked up determine to literally oversex him to death. The story is a fictionalization of a fantasy originally created by every breathing hetero male ever."

| 65 48% | Death Game (1977) - Rated 22 Apr 2024
"Every married man's fantasy turns sour when during a weekend alone two beautiful women show up to his front door looking for shelter, pleasure and something far more sinister. Don't get me wrong though, it's not the threesome that every married man dreams about, it's the weekend alone."

| 43 13% | The Undertaker (1988) - Rated 19 Apr 2024
"My support of Joe Spinell evidently does know bounds. It is learning them well."
|
| 57 33% | Night Shift (1982) - Rated 19 Apr 2024
"The mixture of sex and morgues is always going to warrant my attention but this failed to live up to the hopes I had projected for it. Tough to blame me with great leads, good supporting cast, a workable comedic premise. After my fervent defense of Nightwatch and my irredeemable acceptance of Graveyard Shift I was really hoping Night Shift would become the link for another one of my intolerable recommendations."

| 80 88% | Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 18 Apr 2024
"Dune 2 others as you would have them Dune 2 you."
|
| 58 34% | Shadow Warriors 2 (1999) - Rated 18 Apr 2024
"Hair topped Hogan is jarring to see but he's trying. The locations are great, there's more extras shooting guns than you'd expect for a tv movie sequel. This is way more fun than expected. Picked in memoriam of Carl Weathers and he didn't disappoint. Probably the tamest Shannon Tweed movie I've seen but not the worst."
