Movie Review: Attack Force Z (1981) – Severin Blu-ray
P.G. Kelly (Mel Gibson) is the leader of a small group of special forces operatives charged with rescuing survivors of a downed plane located on a heavily Japanese occupied island during World War II. These are grim motherfuckers one and all, and they certainly aren’t above getting their hands very, very dirty in order to complete a mission… even if the blood they spill is from one of their own! As the men soldier on in their quest they take up with local farmer cum resistance fighter Lin (prolific Taiwanese actor/director Koo Chuan Hsiung) and his daughter Chien Hua (Hong Kong actress/singer/director Sylvia Chang) who prove to be valuable allies in a place where they are in short supply! Will Kelly and his men complete this seemingly suicidal mission, or will they succumb to the menace of the Japanese troops that surround them on all sides? Attack Force Z is a strange picture… Well, not strange in it’s narrative… this

MovieReview: Double Target (1987) – Severin Blu-ray
After a slew of assassinations against military personnel, the boys in camo do the only thing they possibly can; namely call in beer guzzlin’, male model-type/ex-commando Bob Ross (Tarzan the Ape Man/Ator the Fighting Eagle‘s Miles O’Keeffe) to create happy little accidents of extreme violence on those responsible! The only problem with that request is that it stands in the way of his primary life goal; namely retrieving his son from Vietnam, where he was forced to stay after the war… a goal he has attempted to fulfil by blowing shit sky-high with a rocket launcher fired from a helicopter. Fortunately for the narrative, Ross is soon convinced (i.e. forced) by the asthmatic, and ludicrously named, Senator Blaster (Halloween‘s Donald Pleasence) and his own personal Col. Trautman, Col. Waters (Mike Monty) to undertake the assassination investigation back in his old ‘Nam stomping grounds, a task he has five days to complete or he’ll be left to rot! The job totally

An Interview With T3 And ‘Sound Of Silence’ Star Penelope Sangiorgi
After watching the new horror film Sound of Silence, which impressed me, I knew I wanted to speak to the people behind it before its March premiere. I sat down with the Italian directors, known as the collective T3 (Stefano Mandala, Alessandro Antonaci, Daniel Lascar), and the film’s star Penelope Sangiorgi who is making her feature debut as the lead character Emma. In the film, when her father is gravely injured, Emma returns to her family home in Italy. Alone in the house while her father recovers, she encounters a haunted radio – and the evil entity behind it. With the supernatural force growing stronger by the hour, Emma must reveal the dark secret behind the radio’s curse to survive the night. I highly recommend that you listen to the audio. T3 and Penelope have amazing accents that you just have to hear. https://soundcloud.com/kelli-r-marchman-mcneely/an-interview-with-sound-of-silence-directors-and-star?si=94b53315b5024558afd0cdd738f74bbe&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Interview Transcription Kelli: “So I just watched Sound of Silence and really enjoyed it.” Alessandro: “Oh,
