153: Bad Sci-Fi Double-Feature! "Krull" & "Battle Beyond the Stars"

So, you know how the title of our show really tells you what it's about?  Well, no where in the title do we promise GOOD movies.  Case in point - THIS EPISODE.  Don't worry, we are still recommending these films, but we are celebrating them for their...bad-ness.

"Krull" takes place on another planet and we follow Prince Colwyn as he has to save his princess from a beast.

"Battle Beyond the Stars" is about a planet that when attacked, hires 7 mercenaries to protect it.  And Hannibal from TV's "The A-Team" is in it!!!

152: Samurai Double Feature! "Twilight Samurai" & "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai"

Since we covered 13 Assassins last week, we found ourselves wanting more Samurai!  So we FINALLY decided to listen to you guys and cover Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.  For those of you that don't know what it's about - We follow 'Ghost Dog,' a man who lives by the code of the Samurai while navigating the criminal world of the mob.  Okay, so it's a bit more than that, but you have to watch our review for more info.

Twilight Samurai follows Seibei, a widowed Samurai near the end of the Shogun era as he struggles to raise his children and maintain his honor even as the Samurai themselves are fading from importance.  

Watch the reviews to see why these two made the Samurai Double Feature cut.

151: Foreign Action Double Feature! "Elite Squad: The Enemy Within" & "13 Assassins"

It's been way too long since we covered some good old-fashioned action films and FOREIGN action films for that matter.  So that's what we are headed for this week.  I'm SURE these films will take your mind off The Avengers...right?!

Elite Squad: The Enemy Within  is apparently a sequel, but that is something neither Juan nor Lee knew while watching the film and it didn't take away from it one bit.  Hailing from Brazil, this film is about a high-ranking security officer who stumbles upon a group of corrupt cops and government officials.

 13 Assassins is about a group of Samurai (13 of them!) who are brought together to kill an evil lord to prevent him from taking the throne.  

Action, Action, and MORE ACTION!  Check out our reviews!

147: Revenge Double Feature - 'Dead Man's Shoes' & 'Jeremiah Johnson'!

That's right, folks.  It's time for some revenge.  This week we bring you a couple of films about men who take the law into their own hands with some...fatal results.  

The first is a film that Lee has been pushing us to cover for awhile, Dead Man's Shoes is about an irish solder who comes home and begins to punish the men in his town who tormented his younger brother.  It's brutal and intense and well-worth a watch.  

Jeremiah Johnson was directed by Sydney Pollack and stars Robert Redford.  Those two things enough almost guarantees a review from us, but it's also a really interesting tale of man who is drawn into a vendetta with a tribe of Native Americans, though war is the last thing he wants.

140: 2011 Action-Flick Double Feature: "Hanna" and "Super"

These two movies were both films we wished had gotten more eyes on them in 2011, but since we don't own time machines (...YET!) we can at least get more eyes on them now via streaming rentals.

Hanna is about a young girl raised by her father (Eric Bana - are we surprised?) to be an assasin/secret agent/survivor.  She takes on Cate Blanchett.  OF COURSE you want to see this.

Super, starring Raine Wilson, is another in the vein of the trod-upon guy becoming a sort-of vigilante, but don't make the mistake of thinking you've already seen too many of these.  This one has to be on your list for the interesting twists it takes, the darkness of the plot, and the fact that KEVIN BACON is in this.  Boom.
