Gilbert Velez
Falcon Rising Michael Jai White at his butt kicking best, if you loved "Blood and Bone" than this is the movie for you. Well worth the money.
Steven Mangram
Rise of the African American Hero Excellent movie, particularly for the apparently small budget. Michael Jai White displays Martial arts skills that presents a realism more often seen in big budget productions. His pistol skills are equally impressive. Michael Jai is single handedly changing the image of African American males in lead roles. No dresses, no thugs, no bad cop and most importantly no freaks, just straight up beat downs.
Sheryl Graham
Just like the rest of the martial arts movie, one man takes down the whole rotten bunch. Yeah, right!
Emanuel Marshall

Bangkok Revenge
Manit (Jon Foo, TEKKEN, STREET FIGHTER LEGACY) was only ten years old when they killed his parents. A brutal, thoughtless murder, which included putting a bullet in his own brain. They should have finished the job. Rescued from death by a master of Muay Thai boxing, and afflicted with ataraxia - a brain injury that removes all human emotion - Manit has spent his life training to be a killing machine. It's 20 years later, and he's coming for them all. With fists, feet, and bloody vengeance, he's going to make them wish they were dead already.
Zarak
Zarak Khan (Victor Mature, Kiss of Death) — banished from his village after it's revealed that he is in love with his father's youngest wife, Salma (Anita Ekberg, La Dolce Vita) — becomes the ruthless leader of an outlaw band on the India-Afghanistan border. The British colonial government dispatches Army Major Ingram (Michael Wilding, Stage Fright) to hunt down Zarak and his men. The outlaws enlist a sadistic tribal leader to aid their fight against the British. Terence Young directs the adventure, made all the more entertaining by its cast of old British standbys: Finlay Currie, Patrick McGoohan and André Morell, to name a few.

Cold in July
On a sweltering Texas summer night in 1989, husband and father Richard Dane (Dexter's Michael C. Hall) awakens to the sound of a burglar breaking into his home. In a panic, he shoots the intruder dead—but this nightmare is only just beginning. Although he's hailed as a small-town hero, Dane soon finds himself fearing for his family's safety when the burglar's ex-con father, Ben (Sam Shepard), rolls into town; hell-bent on revenge. However, not all is as it seems. Misled by the cops and desperate for answers, Richard embarks on an increasingly berserk, bloodstained quest to discover what really happened that night. The plot twists pile up faster than the body count in this blistering mystery of vengeance and vice, directed by Jim Mickle (Stake Land, We Are What We Are) with scene-stealing performances from Sam Shepard and Don Johnson as a pair of Texan badasses. Based on the novel by Joe R. Lansdale.
Rumblestrips
RUMBLESTRIPS, the movie, is a fictional narrative about a foolish but well-meaning mother whose life has drifted off center, and it's the unwavering devotion of her two young daughters that leads her back within the lines. Told as a personal narrative from Toby's and each of her young daughters' points of view, RUMBLESTRIPS is a tale of how this family navigates loss and love when the mother they rely upon may soon be taken away from them. Broke and emotionally blistered after the death of her husband, Toby has turned to a beloved pastime, growing marijuana, to provide for her family. When she is arrested and convicted, she packs up the RV and takes her two young daughters on a road trip while uneasily awaiting sentencing. Lulu, longing for her normal 12 year-old's life of boys and soccer, patiently rides along, quietly mining her mother for any clues as to what lies ahead, and tiring of keeping her younger sister, Zelda, in the dark. Zelda, for her part, is happy to tag along, soaking up her bored sister's attention and ready for adventure. As the RV steers from the misty coast of the Pacific Northwest, across emerald mountains and all the way down to the dusty banks of the Rio Grande, the truth and consequences of Toby's choices are chronicled. She brushes off her impending court date as 'nothing' and pushes the RV on, deep into the desert, as if the isolated peace of the dry land can keep her children close and her demons distant. But when the RV breaks down, Toby compromises her family's safety by seeking help from a stranger who pulls Toby's errors into the light. We aren't sure of this brooding man's motives, but he presents Toby with an opportunity to swallow her fears, redeem herself in her daughters' eyes, and brave the road that will take them all home.
Kaptara
A dark power has risen out of the Aegean. Altering the wondrous technologies of their ancient race, the island nation of Kaptara has grown warlike. Their vast armada of bronze ships sweep all who oppose them into the sea, leaving nothing but destruction and despair in their wake. The once proud city of Athens stood alone in open defiance and was brought to its knees. Now, year in and year out, the dwindling population must pay a terrible price. Each Spring, fourteen young men and women are chosen by lot and sent to Kaptara as a sacrifice to a ravenous Kaptari god - The Earthshaker. Theseus, son of the king, chooses to take his place among the offering. Armed only with his father’s sword, the young warrior plots revenge against those who would destroy his people. But a shadowy secret lies hidden beneath the soil of Kaptara. A curse placed upon the royal house of Minos has instead been hailed as a god, and as they wander the dark, ever-changing halls of the Labyrinth, it is this bloodthirsty abomination that hunts the Athenians: neither fully man, nor beast, nor god, but all three in one. The Minotaur. The curse of mighty Kaptara. And the seed of its doom.

From internationally celebrated director Zhang Yimou (Ju Dou, Raise the Red Lantern, Hero, House Of Flying Daggers) comes a story of love and war. The dangerous streets of Nanjing throw together a group of opposites --a flock of shell-shocked school children, a dozen seductive courtesans, and a renegade American (Academy Award® winner Christian Bale, The Fighter, The Dark Knight) posing as a priest to save his own skin, or so he thinks -- all seeking safety behind a walled cathedral. Trapped by marauding soldiers, over the next few days the prejudices and divides between them will fall away as they unite around a last-ditch plan to protect the children from impending catastrophe.

For a Few Dollars More
Sergio Leone's dazzling sequel to FISTFUL OF DOLLARS finds the pancho- clad, cigar-chewing, mysterious drifter ('Man with No Name') (Clint Eastwood) locked in competition with a rival bounty hunter (Lee Van Cleef)--then both forming an uneasy alliance in a mutual quest for the psychopathic bandit Indio (Gian Maria Volont‚). Their reasons for going after him are markedly different: Eastwood is interested in the award money; Van Cleef seeks vengeance on Volont‚, the man who brutally raped and murdered his sister. Eastwood is the man with no past--cold, amoral; Van Cleef is the man who has a past--and a deadly purpose. The piling up of bodies after the climactic shoot-out will yield very different outcomes for them both... The film score is another masterpiece by Ennio Morricone.
