Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “The Sister Street Fighter movies are a martial arts series that have been on my to-watch list for a very long time, but I’ve never been able to find a good release. Well, Arrow Video generally does right by their releases.”
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is one of the three movies I give when people ask for my favourite movie. They just don’t make ’em like that any more.
….with one of the most iconic theme songs in history.
In another genre, the earlier seasons of Trailer Park Boys are remarkably clever in their idiocy, and quite entertaining. The later seasons, less consistently so. I have not seen the recent incarnations listed here. Some premises have a limited scope. Can anyone comment on these?
Krypton! I remember that show, that really didn’t leave much for me to care about.
Creed II wasn’t bad if you are hungry for another predictable movie about your favorite characters hitting each other.
