Two Flavors of Sand

     This week two films set, at least partially, under the blazing desert sun.

     A military prison in the Libyan Desert where the guards are just as brutal as the land. Five new prisoners, including a former Sargent Major convicted of assaulting his commanding officer, are placed under the charge of Staff Sargent Williams, an equally new guard who sees their suffering as a means of promotion. The first of five collaborations between director Sidney Lumet and star Sean Connery, The Hill.
     The last entry in a trilogy that has enamored generations and spawned a multi-billion dollar franchise. It has been a year since Captain Solo was captured at Cloud City. His friends arrive with a desperate plan to rescue him with the hopes that this victory will help turn around the fortunes of a struggling rebellion. Meanwhile, the last living Jedi master is quickly nearing the end of his life and the Empire are nearly finished rebuilding their ultimate weapon of terror and domination- The Death Star. Before all hope is lost, there will be a Return of the Jedi.
     All that and Tyler has no hesitation, Kevin feels the sting of an unfair fight, and Dave chokes on his cotton candy. Join us, won't you?

Terror Beneath Fighter Street

      This week we salute action superstar Sonny Chiba.

     What lurks in the waters between an experimental naval research base and a nuclear waste dumping group? If you guessed totalitarian mad scientists with an army of cyborg fish people, feel assured in the superiority of your wisdom. Sonny and Peggy Neal paly reports who quickly find themselves out of their depth and facing Terror Beneath the Sea.
     One of the most influential grindhouse martial art films ever made and Chiba's best known role. Terry Tsurugi is an assassin bad ass until he decides to stand against an organized crime group from China to protect a young heiress. Bones break, skulls are crushed, castration happens in the first film to ever receive an X-rating for violence alone. Can anything slow down The Street Fighter and his destructive path?
