Ever since its release in 1988, “Die Hard” has been the action movie that spawned a million imitators. It’s almost become a joke to those who pitch films… “It’s like Die Hard on an aircraft carrier!” (“Under Siege”). There’s Die Hard in a mall (“Point Blank”), Die Hard in a prep school (“Toy Soldiers”) and […]

Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews ASTRONAUT: THE LAST PUSH (DVD Review)
October 12th, 2013 Malone With “Gravity” pulling everybody into theaters over the last few weeks, it looks like space movies are making a comeback. I mean, what better setting for a high-tension drama than an infinite void that could suffocate or crush you at a moment’s notice. Space is one bad motha and since we don’t know all that […]
Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews KILLJOY GOES TO HELL (DVD Review)
September 29th, 2012 Malone Life can be pretty unfair. The other day I got cited for blocking an intersection because the car in front of me decided not to pull up as far as he could after turning on an arrow. Maybe I can beat it in court. Maybe not. Either way, I was so mad I could’ve died. […]
Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews GOD BLESS AMERICA (DVD Review)
August 15th, 2012 Malone I’m proud to be an American, but the bulk of us have gotten a bad rap in recent years. Sure, there are the types who believe that if it’s not from the US of A it ain’t worth a day-yum. But for the most part, I think Americans aren’t only tolerant of other cultures, we […]
Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews SPAWN [1997] (Blu-Ray Review)
July 31st, 2012 Malone Popular culture is a funny thing. Certain trends hit wildly popular and often come back to haunt us years later. The 90’s was all about pop-rap, flannel shirts, depression and ultimately a corporate sponsored faux 1960’s “raging against the machine”. A bohemian lifestyle reminiscent of Paris in the late 1800’s flourished – not in saloons […]
Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews JASON X (DVD Review)
July 13th, 2012 Malone Happy Friday the 13th, Doc! After watching that zombie/stripper film, I found myself in the mood for more of the risque. Well, as luck would have it, Jason X isn’t one of those “adult” parodies I enjoy so much… but it fits with the day, so what the hell. Widely regarded as the worst (and […]
Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews ZOMBIES VS. STRIPPERS (DVD Review) ***MATURE***
July 10th, 2012 Malone Shakespeare once wrote, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet;” Well, there’s a lot in a name, or more specifically a title. Snakes on a Plane famously became a cult phenomenon before it was even released thanks to its no-nonsense (or all-nonsense) title. Don’t […]
