The Daily Beasts
For theme projects (like #Kaijuly, #Mocktoberfest, and #SeasonsBeatings—for example),
a new film/show is profiled every day by a different writer.
JCVD (2008)
In which the world discovers Jean-Claude Van Damme can act as well as he can kick…
REPLICANT (2001)
Double Van Damme (again) in this overlooked and possibly under appreciated film.
KICKBOXER (1989)
The Muay Thai may not be right, but everything else is a winner about this JCVD film!
Fourths Of July: THE FIRST PURGE (2018)
The socially conscious horror franchise gets an origin story in this engaging installment.
Fourths Of July: LONE WOLF AND CUB: BABY CART IN PERIL (1972)
The fourth entry furthers the series’ greatness with its own splash of the bizarre.
Fourths Of July: LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD (2007)
John McClane takes on Cyberterrorism in this odd sequel to the action classic.
Fourths Of July: RAMBO (2008)
The titular action hero returns to his violent anti-war roots, albeit with far more brutality than ever before.
Fourths Of July: CRITTERS 4 (1992)
There’s a surprising amount of wit and entertainment in the DTV sequel.
