SEMI-PRO
|
  Year Released: 2008 MPAA Rating: R Running Time: 0 minutes |

RICCO THE MEAN MACHINE (DVD)
|
  Year Released: 1973 MPAA Rating: R Running Time: 89 minutes |
It’s every bit as exploitative, sleazy and weird as you’d expect from a movie made in 1973, and that’s probably why I enjoyed it so much…

“Killer Killer” tried its best to be a clear winner, but sadly, couldn’t cash the check that its first three minutes wrote…

FOR YOU ACTORS OUT THERE…
Here’s a really good site I found on English dialects: International Dialects of English Archive. You got everything there from South African to Yorkshire accents, to the oral histories of 80+ year old Holocaust survivors.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER (DVD)
|
  Year Released: 2008 MPAA Rating: PG-13 Running Time: 0 minutes |
Much more of a sophisticated outing this time around, and while it may go over the heads of younger audiences, there’s a lot to be gained for older folks looking for more than one-liners and knockdown drag out tussles between titans…
