Kevin Costner would often like to imagine himself as a one-man army, if possible, who is capable of handling almost every single hurdle and blockade thrown in his direction with utmost precision and decisiveness. This character trait may also be the reason why the Hollywood actor makes choices bold enough to surpass even Quentin Tarantino when it comes to sequel treatment in films.

Where one might look to find Kill Bill Vol. 2, Jaws 2, and Back to the Future Part II, Kevin Costner stands firm on the prospect of sequels insomuch that he would not even dare to touch his Oscar-winning property, Dances With Wolves, that he himself directed, produced, and starred in.
In hindsight, perhaps sticking by this one rule has made Costner one of the most substantial and enduring stars to have walked the Hollywood red carpet,...

Killer Imports [1] is a regular feature on Film Junk where we explore foreign-language films from around the world that haven’t yet had their chance to shine. After listening to the Macho Movie Review [2] of Ong Bak 2, I was prepared to enjoy an awesome action flick when I inserted my DVD of the movie into my player. To be honest, I had purchased the DVD prior to listening to the review, and I had sampled some of the action scenes. Like Wintle and I imagine other movie lovers, I have a backlog of unwatched DVDs that is growing rather than shrinking.

Yet, their review came out weeks ago, and I have finally written my review. Why the delay? Because I was disappointed. I guess...

Review by Alex Dorn Watching The Bodyguard and The Bodyguard 2 double feature DVD was a cool experience for me in that it’s been quite a few years since I’ve felt like I was experiencing a new kind of cinema, or at the very least a new kind of comedy. I’m ashamed to say that “Chicken Pad Thai” is about all I know of Thai culture, and I won’t profess to knowing any more about it after seeing these two movies, but I definitely got a taste of something new. Maybe you folks can remember the movie Ong-Bak from a few years ago, with Tony Jaa, the “Thai Bruce Lee”? His, and that movie’s claim to fame was that all the stunts and fighting were performed without any special effects or wirework. Pretty cool stuff! For those of you who saw it, he had a...
