Snappy Driving

    This week two films with a heavy focus on local transportation preferences.

When he breaks his own rules on a delivery, his employers try to kill him, and Frank finds himself working against the clock to find a container filled with 400 trafficked people. Can Frank find the missing box before it's too late? Will insurance cover all these damages? If not can he still call himself The Transporter?
     Angelique is a sweet natured city girl who just married the burly rugged Cajun of her dreams, Big T. While getting learning the ways of the bayou, Big T's lifelong enemies are making plans. Soon their honeymoon bliss is shattered and Angelique is fighting for her life against a gang of lifelong miscreants. Will she find a way to survive of will she just be Gator Bait II: Cajun Justice?

Rothrock and Roll

      This week- two movies, four women, and multiple trios of bumbling idiots.

     Naama lives in an Israeli suburb with little to do except drugs and casual hook ups. When she meets a new student, they are immediately attracted to each other. Meanwhile, he racist parents are desperately searching for her AWOL sister who might have run off with a nice young Palestinian boy. Blush (aka, the much better title, Barash).
     Two of the best action stars of all time together in the second film directed by Hong Kong legend Corey Yuen and produced by Sammo Hung which started an entire subgenre. Tragically, the draws are pushed aside for some of the worst garbage outputted by the painfully unfunny Luck Stars but when allowed to do what they do best, they rival any other of the period and force you to say... Yes, Madam. 
     All that and the Spencer Mansion collapses on Dave and Tyler's heads while Kevin leaves his noir funk behind for candy colored holiday cheer. Join us, won't you?
