Y’all have a wonderful night as I watch my 5th Charles Bronson film at the movie theater! In 2022, I watched THE MECHANIC, MR. MAJESTYK, and DEATH WISH 3 at the Mahoning Drive-In in Lehighton, PA. Last year I caught HOUSE OF WAX here in downtown Little Rock at the Ron Robinson Theater. Tonight the Ron Robinson Theater is celebrating the 65th anniversary of the classic western THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN!
In my excitement, I’ll share Henry Brooks’ song THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN from his musical “Charles Bronson – More than a Vigilante – The Musical!” Enjoy my friends!
“The Corbomite Maneuver,” one of the earliest of the original STAR TREK episodes ever filmed, first aired on November 10, 1966. In this episode, the Enterprise, under Captain Kirk’s command, encounters a mysterious cube blocking its path in uncharted space. When attempts to communicate fail, the cube emits radiation, forcing the crew to destroy it. This action provokes a powerful alien vessel, the Fesarius, commanded by Balok, who accuses the Enterprise of trespassing and announces its imminent destruction. Kirk, facing a seemingly unbeatable foe, bluffs by claiming the Enterprise is equipped with a fictional “corbomite” device that would destroy any attacker. As a tense standoff takes place, Kirk’s gamble pays off when Balok blinks first and initiates contact, leading to a somewhat surprising conclusion.
I’ve watched some of the STAR TREK movies and TV shows over the years, but I’m nowhere near what someone would call a “Trekkie.” I do remember watching and liking STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN (1982) when I was a kid, and as an adult, I enjoyed the 2009 reboot from J.J. Abrams. I recently read Ron Howard and Clint Howard’s memoir, THE BOYS, and Clint talked about how often fans would bring up his appearance in this specific episode of STAR TREK. Since today, September 8th, is “Star Trek Day,” and the original series is streaming on Paramount Plus, I decided I would see what all the fuss is about. I did think it was pretty cool when I saw that the episode was directed by Joseph Sargent, who would go on to direct a couple of my favorite movies of the early 70’s, WHITE LIGHTNING (1973) and THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE (1974).
I had a lot of fun watching “The Corbomite Maneuver” for the first time today. From what I’ve read online, many consider this a really strong episode of the original series, and I can see why. The episode builds some pretty strong tension as Balok’s vessel seems so much stronger than the Enterprise, and it seems believable that the crew is really in danger. The special effects seem to be well done for the time period, with the “glowing cube” especially interesting. While there is not a lot of action in the episode, there are solid dramatics and a sense of humor rears its head from time to time. The main cast of William Shatner as Captain Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Spock, and Deforest Kelly as Bones McCoy provide many of their classic character traits that would lead to them becoming pop culture icons. Shatner’s Kirk exudes extreme confidence amid a seemingly hopeless situation, while Nimoy’s Spock offers his unquestionable logic, and Kelley’s McCoy provides his gruff but loyal empathy. When a seven year old Clint Howard finally shows up as the real Balok in the last five minutes of the episode, I was ready. I got quite the kick out of watching Clint, whose voice is dubbed by a guy named Walker Edmiston, serve the guys a delicious drink named Tranya, a drink he truly relishes. As the episode was ending, my mouth was watering for the tasty looking alien beverage!
Happy Star Trek Day friends. I truly enjoyed joining in on the celebration for the first time in my life today!
My wife and I spent some time with our kids this weekend. Both of them mentioned to us at different times this new documentary they had watched on Netflix called UNKNOWN NUMBER: THE HIGH SCHOOL CATFISH, from director Skye Borgman. It had blown them both away, so we decided to watch it when we got home, and it’s a doozy.
Here’s a brief summary of the events covered… in the small community of Beal City, Michigan, teenage sweethearts Lauryn Licari and Owen McKenny, both around 13 years old, begin receiving disturbing text messages from an unknown number in October 2020. The initial messages say things like Owen is breaking up with Lauryn because he doesn’t like her anymore and wants to be with the person sending the messages instead. The messages pause for a few months, but when they resume in 2021 they get way worse, spamming the kids with up to 50 messages a day over the next year or so. These texts say awful stuff: insulting Lauren’s body, describing sexual acts the sender wants to do to Owen, telling Lauryn to just kill herself, etc. The person sending the texts uses details that only someone close could know. Owen and Lauren finally tell their parents, who go to the school’s administration and from there, local sheriff Mike Main. As you can imagine, the parents’ suspicions begin falling on some of the local teenage girls, especially an excellent young athlete and popular girl named Khloe Wilson. When the sheriff’s investigation comes up empty, the case is escalated to the FBI’s cybercrimes task force and agent Bradley Peter, who is able then to apply advanced forensics techniques. The case finally begins coming to a head when agent Peter is able to link key IP addresses to one specific phone number, a number that matches a person in the community. I won’t go any further so you can discover the rest for yourself if you haven’t watched it yet.
This is one of those documentaries that may stay with me for awhile. As a father whose kids are now past the ages of the kids who were viciously harassed, I’m mostly left wondering how I would have handled a situation like this if it was happening to one of them. Here are a few thoughts I had while watching the film. First, I’ve watched my beautiful daughter struggle with issues of body image, especially in high school, and she still struggles with it today. I know firsthand the physical and emotional dangers involved with these types of issues. If someone was anonymously attacking her, I would probably explode, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done. It makes me sick just thinking about it. Second, the inadequacy of local law enforcement in many rural communities for solving crimes and punishing criminals is glaringly on display. I’ve always lived in small, rural communities, and I’ve been a victim of crimes on two separate occasions, a hit and run in 1998, and identity theft in 2005. Both times, I solved the crimes myself and passed the info on to the police. As far as I know, even though I filed the proper reports as well as the proof for the crimes, nothing ever happened to the perpetrators. In this specific case, to his credit, the sheriff did finally escalate the situation up to the FBI, but for many months, the kids had to deal with the harassment, the community had suspicions against innocent people running wild, and the parents were at their wits end. If the sheriff had not escalated the situation, this case would probably never have been solved. Finally, I’m amazed by the shit that is going on underneath the surface of the “normal people” all around us each day. I probably shouldn’t be, because my life has had its own share of drama that all but the closest people to me knew nothing about. David Lynch even plays with this theme in his weird and excellent BLUE VELVET. My wife likes to remind me that we should always be kind to people because we never know what they’re dealing with. There’s a lot of truth to that. I periodically remind her not to honk at people who cut her off in traffic because you never know who’s behind that other wheel either. At the end of the day, the craziest stories usually emerge from communities and people that we can all relate to. A place like Beal City is a lot like the places I grew up.
Overall, if you enjoy real life documentaries that explore the crazy acts that normal people are capable of, you will probably like UNKNOWN NUMBER: THE HIGH SCHOOL CATFISH. It will definitely reinforce your ongoing inability to fully trust your family, friends and neighbors!
In celebration of William Devane’s 86th birthday, I’m sharing a scene from one of my favorite revenge films, ROLLING THUNDER (1977). In my opinion, this is the high water mark in Devane’s 60 year career. And we all need a friend like Tommy Lee Jones’ character here… someone who’s always ready to go at the drop of a hat. Things are about to get violent right after they leave, but the calmness of the two men as they get ready to unleash violent hell on a group of murderous bastards makes this scene a standout.
After reading the memoir THE BOYS, from Ron Howard and Clint Howard, I’ve taken a renewed interest in their careers. While scanning Ron’s IMDB listing, I noticed that he directed a film in 2022 called THIRTEEN LIVES. Movies had such strange release patterns in the post-Covid years, and somehow this film had flown completely under my radar. Seeing that the movie was very highly rated and that it was based on what seemed like an incredible true story, I became very interested. So much so, that I started the two and a half hour movie after midnight!
THIRTEEN LIVES is based on a real life “flooded cave” rescue in Thailand in 2018 after 12 boys and their soccer coach become stranded deep inside a cave system when unexpectedly early monsoon rains hit the area. We watch as an international coalition of Thai Navy SEALS, British cave divers, including Rick Stanton (Viggo Mortensen) and John Volanthen (Colin Farrell), and other expert volunteers take part in an extremely urgent and dangerous mission to save the thirteen lives. When it appears that all hope may be lost, the men come up with a risky, experimental plan requiring the expertise of anesthetist and cave diver Harry Harris (Joel Edgerton). As scary as the plan is, everyone agrees it’s the only chance they have…
I mentioned earlier that one of the reasons that THIRTEEN LIVES piqued my interest is the fact that it’s based on a true story. The real world has been full of heartbreaking tragedy this year, and this story seemed like something I really needed to see. On a personal note, 2018 was one of the most difficult years in my life. I don’t remember hearing about this real life drama out of Thailand, so I honestly didn’t know what was going to happen. I’ll give Director Ron Howard a lot of credit for how effectively he captures the seemingly hopeless and terrifying situation over the 18 day period from the time the team was first trapped to the time that the rescue attempt reaches its conclusion. His deliberate pacing doesn’t rush the story, and we can’t help but become invested in the emotions being experienced by the families and the rescue teams. I also enjoyed watching people from all over the world working together and not caring who gets the credit. There was tension at times of course, but the focus was never about ego. It was always about their mission to save those who were trapped. This movie is about regular people who became real heroes. The film captures the psychological cost of that transition as not every person will survive the 18 day journey.
The incredible real-life story of THIRTEEN LIVES is complimented very well by an excellent cast. I’ve been a fan of Viggo Mortensen since he starred in the film THE INDIAN RUNNER in 1991, which happened to co-star my movie hero Charles Bronson. I’ve also been a fan of Colin Farrell since he emerged in what seemed like a concerted effort in the early 2000’s to make him a star. Both men bring their “A” games here in understated and powerful performances. Other actors that stood out to me include Joel Edgerton as the expert who holds the key to the rescue plan, Sahajek Boonthanakit as Governor Narongsak, the man who takes the ultimate responsibility for their mission, and Pattrakorn Tungsupakul, the distraught mother of one of the trapped boys. Howard assembled a great cast that brings the incredible story to life.
I mentioned earlier that I started watching THIRTEEN LIVES after midnight. For a 51 year old man, the fact that I watched the entire film at that time of the night, without falling asleep, says a lot about the way this extraordinary story pulled me in. I highly recommend this powerful film to any person who enjoys movies based on true stories.
Every year during tax season, I get in the habit of playing movies and TV series on my third computer screen as I work. I don’t necessarily watch the shows, but they do provide a soothing background noise as I provide high quality tax preparation services for my clients. A few years back I played the entire series of “The Andy Griffith Show” all the way through a total of three times. I began to develop favorite episodes and would actually stop and watch certain parts as favorite scenes would play out. My very favorite moments would typically involve emotional scenes between Sheriff Andy Taylor and his son, Opie. Ron Howard began playing Opie when he was only six years old and there was never a cuter kid on a TV show. Needless to say, I was always bringing up the show in just about any conversation I was having during this time, whether it be with my wife, other family members or friends. Almost any situation that came up would remind me of something found on “The Andy Griffith Show.” Based on this newfound obsession, when Christmas rolled around that year, my wife purchased me a copy of the book THE BOYS by Ron Howard and Clint Howard. When we were preparing for our trip to Maui recently, I knew I had several plane flights and many beach hours ahead of me. While I don’t often read for pleasure, it did seem like the perfect time to dig in and find out what it was like to grow up as a kid actor on one of America’s most beloved TV shows.
THE BOYS has a pretty interesting setup as Ron Howard and Clint Howard share their various viewpoints on key moments and events in the evolution of the Howard family. It becomes clear very quickly that Ron and Clint are very different as we make our way through the first few chapters. They just see the world from wildly different perspectives. Ron emerges as kind of a rule following “square” while Clint proves to have quite the rebellious streak. But you can also tell how deeply they care about each other as brothers. The book takes its time to really focus in on their parents, Rance and Jean Howard, and how they instilled a “family comes first” philosophy in their heads from the very beginning. There were a few times where this philosophy was put to the test, but all in all the family unit retained its position as being more important than any roles in film and TV. Rance and Jean were both very present in their sons’ lives, and in a positive way. They took a very nominal management fee from their sons’ earnings, much less than the industry standards, and saved the rest for Ron and Clint. After all the stories of child actors, their stage parents, and their ultimate downfalls, the Howard’s situation couldn’t have been much more ideal thanks mostly to the consistency and character of Rance and Jean. While they don’t always shy away from their parents’ faults, these boys truly loved and appreciated their mom and dad, and that was refreshing to read.
As far as Ron’s and Clint’s acting careers, THE BOYS doesn’t necessarily dwell too much on their various shows and movies that they were in, outside of those that really had the biggest impacts on their family and futures. We hear quite a bit about “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Gentle Ben,” but when you consider how young the boys were when they starred in those shows, there is a limit to how much they can really remember. Once again, most of the memories they share of these shows seem to be based on their work with their dad to learn their lines and understand the plots. I can say from firsthand experience that Rance’s coaching is amazing based on Ron’s performances as Opie Taylor. I don’t remember Clint as well in those early years, except for his handful of appearances as the PB & Jelly smeared Leon, also on “The Andy Griffith Show.” We do get some nice info on actors like Griffith, Don Knotts and Dennis Weaver that only serves to help me appreciate them even more. If you want a deep dive into any of their shows or movies, this book is probably not the place to look for that kind of detailed information, but they do sprinkle in some fun nuggets along the way. I especially enjoyed Ron’s stories about George Lucas and Henry Winkler, as well as Clint’s memories of playing Balok on “Star Trek.” We get quite a few stories from Ron and Clint about how hard it could be to be a well known child actor in grade school and high school. It makes sense that there were quite a few kids that gave them a hard time and each of the boys had to develop their own way for dealing with these people.
The book ultimately reaches its crescendo with the boys sharing details about their transitions into adulthood, both personally and professionally. We learn about Ron’s own love story with his wife Cheryl who was basically his first real girlfriend. With the perfect life partner in tow, Ron was free to pursue his passion to direct films, and he had to make some risky decisions for that to happen. It was fun reading about the “deal” he made with the legendary Roger Corman that gave him his big directorial break with the B-movie GRAND THEFT AUTO (1977). We all know where his directorial career eventually would go, but it certainly was no foregone conclusion in the late 70’s. Clint’s journey was difficult in a much different way, as he was a full blown alcoholic and drug addict when he was trying to figure things out. Once again, his own personal integrity and the strong bonds of a loving family ultimately allowed him to get an upper hand on his problems and go on to the unique and interesting career he has had. One of my main takeaways from reading THE BOYS is that I just love their family. No matter what, they always valued integrity and would always stick together. Ultimately, I think that was the most important story that the boys wanted to tell.
As a teenager of the late 80’s, I became a huge fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme when I watched movies like BLOODSPORT (1988), CYBORG (1989), KICKBOXER (1989), and DEATH WARRANT (1990). He really seemed to be going big-time with movies like UNIVERSAL SOLDIER (1992), HARD TARGET (1993) and especially TIMECOP (1994). Unfortunately, through a variety of problems, including a reportedly uncontrollable ego, a seemingly never ending supply of gratuitous butt shots for the ladies, and potential drug issues, his star would begin to wane in the mid-1990’s and he’d soon find his career heading the wrong direction. Through it all though, I’ve always loved Van Damme, and I still like to watch his movies (both new and old) to this day. One of the films that he made in his prime was LIONHEART (1990). I remember renting the movie as soon as it became available at our local video store, and even though I don’t hear it spoken of often these days, it’s always been one of my favorite films of the so-called “Muscles from Brussels!”
LIONHEART stars Van Damme as Lyon Gaultier, a French Foreign Legionnaire who deserts his post in North Africa after finding out that his drug addict brother, who lives in Los Angeles, has been set on fire and is barely clinging to life. Determined to help his brother’s family, Lyon goes AWOL and hops a boat to the United States of America. Unfortunately, Lyon finds himself stranded in New York with no money, until he stumbles across an underground street fight. With the connections of a hustler named Joshua (Harrison Page) and a sexy fight organizer named Cynthia (Deborah Rennard), Lyon’s talent in the ring allows him to make the money he needs to go to L.A. When he finally makes it to the west coast, his brother has passed away, leaving huge medical bills for his wife Helene (Lisa Pelikan) and young daughter, Nicole (Ashley Johnson). Continuing to fight in the underground market in L.A. to provide funds for his sister-in-law, Lyon takes on increasingly dangerous opponents, including the savage Attila (Abdel Qissi) in a high-stakes fight that could settle his family’s financial problems for good… if it doesn’t kill him.
I mentioned earlier that I’m a big fan of LIONHEART. With that said, I can certainly see some flaws in the film. The performances aren’t all great. For example, Deborah Rennard is somewhat ridiculous as the sexy, duplicitous Cynthia. Her character is as cliched as it gets, even if she does look good in her see-through stockings. It’s also too long. Clocking in at almost an hour and fifty minutes, the film is at least twenty minutes too long. There are definitely scenes that could have been trimmed down to make for a more efficient movie. Flaws acknowledged, I watched it again today, and I still love the movie. Directed by Sheldon Lettich (DOUBLE IMPACT), LIONHEART delivers the goods as a badass, fight film with a heart. The action sequences drew me in with Van Damme’s athletic spins and kicks, but it also reminded me of my favorite film of all time, HARD TIMES (1975) starring Charles Bronson. In HARD TIMES, Bronson takes out a cocky bastard with one punch to the face. In LIONHEART, Van Damme takes out a cocky bastard with one punch to the nuts. Both films deliver final showdowns against awesome opponents that deliver brutal and satisfying climaxes to the action. And both films go for real emotion. In HARD TIMES, those relationships are limited to the men in Bronson’s life, but in LIONHEART, Lyon’s relationships with his friend Joshua, as well as his love for his niece and widowed sister-in-law really set the film apart. Van Damme isn’t a great actor at this point in his career, but there’s just something really appealing about his unconditional love for his family. He won me over with his earnest performance, and I was all in when everything comes to a head at the end. It was also fun seeing producer Lawrence Bender (PULP FICTION, ANNA AND THE KING, KILL BILL) cameo in an early fight scene as a doofus with a pony tail who gets his ass handed to him by Van Damme. That’s just fun movie stuff.
Playing on Amazon Prime as I type, I easily recommend LIONHEART to any person who likes Van Damme or action films of the 80’s and 90’s. It may be as cheesy as hell, but in my opinion, it’s one of the star’s best films.
Today I’m starting a series about my favorite actors and their most important work in a particular decade, completely from my limited perspective. What a better actor for me to start with than Charles Bronson, my all time favorite. I hope to share some historical context as well as some tidbits about his film and TV appearances at the time. I know I’ll miss some good stuff, and I welcome your comments on that. We’ll see how this goes!
Charles Bronson entered the world of acting using the name Charles Buchinsky. His very first role is in the film YOU’RE IN THE NAVY NOW (1951) with Gary Cooper! This also happens to be the film debuts of actors Lee Marvin and Jack Warden! Bronson himself has said that he got the role because he could “belch on cue!”
You’re in the Navy Now (1951)
Bronson worked with the best actors on earth from the very beginning of his career. Still billed as Buchinsky, Bronson would share the screen with Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn in 1952’s PAT AND MIKE!
Pat and Mike (1952)
I was lucky enough to catch HOUSE OF WAX (1953) on the big screen last summer. Bronson, still billed as Buchinsky at the time, co-starred as Igor in the 3-D, Vincent Price box office smash. He had some amazingly creepy scenes in the film!
House of Wax (1953) Me in 2024!!
For the first time in his career, he would be credited as Charles Bronson in the Alan Ladd western DRUM BEAT (1954). He changed his name during the McCarthy era to avoid the negative scrutiny and suspicion that a Slavic surname might bring, fearing it could damage his budding acting career during the strong anti-Communist sentiment in America. Under his new name, Bronson steals the film right out from under Ladd in the role of the rebellious Indian leader Captain Jack! This film should have catapulted Bronson into leading roles, but Hollywood didn’t really know what to do with him at this point.
Drum Beat (1954)
A couple of years later, Bronson would appear in a supporting role in the Glenn Ford western, JUBAL (1956). Also co-starring Ernest Borgnine and Rod Steiger, Bronson’s part is small but pivotal. I love the film and its Grand Tetons setting.
Jubal (1956)My family in 2023!
1958 would be a year where Charles Bronson would get his first leading film roles, as well as his own TV series. First up was the B-western SHOWDOWN AT BOOT HILL (1958), directed by Gene Fowler, Jr. I’m a big fan of this short, simple oater. I think Bronson gives an excellent performance as the gunslinger with a chip on his shoulder, who really just wants a girl he can settle down with and a place he can call home. I recommend it to any person who likes 1950’s westerns and Bronson.
Showdown at Boot Hill (1958)
Next, the legendary Roger Corman would direct Bronson in the biopic MACHINE GUN KELLY (1958). This is an important film in Bronson’s career. French star Alain Delon would request Bronson as his co-star in the 1968 film FAREWELL, FRIEND based on his performance in MACHINE GUN KELLY, and that film would help turn Bronson into one of the biggest male movie stars in the world. It’s another good film that draws another strong performance from Bronson as the infamous gangster who was tough as long as he had his machine gun. Quentin Tarantino is a big fan of the movie calling it the “best film Corman ever directed.” A poster for MACHINE GUN KELLY can be seen at Jack Rabbit Slims in Tarantino’s sensational PULP FICTION (1994).
Machine Gun Kelly (1958)
After appearing on countless TV shows during the 50’s, Bronson got his own beginning in 1958. The show, MAN WITH A CAMERA, would run for two seasons and produce a total of 29 episodes, with such excellent guest stars as Tom Laughlin, Angie Dickinson and Lawrence Tierney. A young Bronson is very good in the series, easily handling the action and the dialogue. He’s so good in fact, that it really is hard to believe that mainstream stardom would continue to elude him for another decade. In his characteristically sarcastic way, Bronson would joke that he played second fiddle to a light bulb, or something along those lines, but it’s a series I definitely recommend.
Man with a Camera (1958-1960)
I hope you’ve enjoyed a trip through the 50’s with the legendary Charles Bronson. There is so much more I could have covered, but I chose the appearances that have affected my life the most! The 1960’s would prove to be a successful, frustrating and ultimately rewarding decade for Charles Bronson. We’ll get to that next time on “Famous Actors Throughout the Decades: Charles Bronson!”
Sean Connery in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971)Charles Bronson in RED SUN (1971)
Sean Connery and Charles Bronson, despite being much different actors, shared the Golden Globe Henrietta Award for “World Film Favorite – Male” back in 1972. As the ultimate Bronson fan, I’ve always appreciated this special connection between the icons.
Happy Birthday in cinema heaven, Sean! We miss you!
DEAD IN A HEARTBEAT is a 2002 TV movie that stars Judge Reinhold as Tom Royko, the head of Seattle bomb squad, as he finds himself trying to stop a mad bomber named Zachary Franklin (Timothy Busfield). Franklin blames heart surgeon Gillian Hayes (Penelope Ann Miller) for the death of his son and makes it his mission in life to make her suffer like he has. His plan… volunteer at the hospital where Dr. Hayes works, rig their supply of pacemakers with explosives, and then implement a plan to begin blowing up her patients on the anniversary of his son’s death. When Royko figures out what’s going on, he enlists the help of Dr. Hayes to identify the next potential victims and stop the deranged Franklin before another innocent person’s chest explodes!
DEAD IN A HEARTBEAT is an entertaining TV movie. If you like Hallmark mysteries and Lifetime movies, it’s my guess that you will enjoy this film. The plot is a lot of fun… I love the movie SPEED and the “madman setting off ticking human time bombs while taunting the police” reminded me of that excellent thriller on multiple occasions. While I’m not suggesting this movie is in the same league as the Keanu Reeves / Sandra Bullock action classic, I am saying that I did feel genuine tension and excitement at times as some of the scenes played out, and I wasn’t really expecting that. As far as the performances, I must admit I really enjoyed watching Judge Reinhold in the lead. He’s not tough at all, but he does have a likable, sarcastic charm that appeals to me. After loving him in 80’s movies like BEVERLY HILLS COP and RUTHLESS PEOPLE, it was nice seeing him in this role. I only give Penelope Ann Miller average marks for her performance as the heart doctor who starts off really arrogant before having a crisis of conscience when the bad guy starts offing her former patients. She has a couple of solid moments, but for the most part I just found her competent in the role. Timothy Busfield is definitely good as the villain, but this movie’s TV roots left his character somewhat underdeveloped. I think the part could have worked better if more time had been devoted to the details that lead to him losing his grip on reality.
While not a must-see, DEAD ON A HEARTBEAT turned out to be an enjoyable, undemanding watch as I was scrolling through Amazon Prime. If you don’t mind a little absurdity with your early 2000’s, TV action movies, you’ll probably like this one.
Through the Shattered Lens
