Film Buff Friday: Double Dragon


Double Dragon (Collector's Edition) coming to Blu-ray / DVD
for the first time ever on January 22nd
All star cast includes Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgement Day), 
Scott Wolf ("Party of Five"), Mark Dacascos (John Wick 3: Parabellum), 
Alyssa Milano ("Charmed") and Julia Nickson (Rambo: First Blood Part II)

For you lovers of bad films, don't ever say I'm not a giver... 'Tis the Season after all! 

From director James Yukich (Shawn Mendes: Live at the Greek Theatre), producers Don Murphy(Transformers, Natural Born Killers), Jane Hamsher (From Hell) and Alan Schechter (Showdown), with a screenplay written by Michael Davis (Shoot 'Em Up) and Emmy® Award Winner Peter Gould (Better Call SaulBreaking Bad) comes the cult classic movie based on the video game smash hit.

Double Dragon roars to life with amazing special effects, spectacular action sequences, and a knock-about sense of humor. It's the year 2007, and what remains of LA is now ''New Angeles'', a city ravaged by earthquakes, tidal waves and vicious gangs. The evil tycoon Koga Shuko (Robert PatrickTerminator 2: Judgment Day) is obsessed with finding the two halves of a talisman known as the ''Double Dragon'', which will give him awesome mystical powers. Two teenaged brothers, Jimmy (Mark DacascosJohn Wick 3) and Billy Lee (Scott WolfParty of Five) find themselves in possession of the amulet's missing half, thrusting them into the adventure of their lives. With the help of Maria (Alyssa MilanoCharmed) and her vigilante group ''The Power Corps'', Jimmy and Billy must summon all of their courage, resourcefulness and martial-arts skills to stop the villain's malevolent plan.


Eric D. Wilkinson, who oversees the MVD Rewind Collection shares his enthusiasm for this release. "Double Dragon was arguably one of my favorite projects for the Rewind Collection. This release marks the first time Double Dragon will be available on Blu-ray and in HD in North America! Special features producer Richard Schenkman and I worked tirelessly to create some amazing brand new bonus material that includes a feature length "making of" documentary that I know collectors will love. These new bonus features along with some great archival bonus material and the addition of the pilot of the "Double Dragon" animated television series (courtesy of Invincible Entertainment), MVD is proud to present the definitive edition of Double Dragon in a kick-ass (pun intended) Blu-ray + DVD combo pack collector's set."

Crackling with the energy and humor of its two heroes, Double Dragon is a high-octane action spectacular.

Oh My!

I See London, I See...
l-r
Justin Bieber, Portia de Rossi & Ellen Degeneres

With a scant 14 days until Christmas I grudgingly decided to do another Holiday post. That being stated I found something that actually plays to my sensibility

Thus I would all like you to bear witness to a heart warming card for the Season sent by talk show Queen, Ellen Degeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi featuring a naked Justin Bieber. You all remember when Justin had this habit of being photographed balls out don't you? Well Ellen and Portia used that to create one of the funniest/edgy Christmas cards I have ever seen and now can't un-see. Now you can't either.

Yep, leave it to Bieber to make the Yuletide gay, and Ellen to use it to great comic effect.

Christmas it's what being served with it's head on a platter...

Mistletoe Drop!

Monday Motivation

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Tim Curry aka Dr. Frank N. Furter

"Don't Dream It, Be It. Don't Dream It, Be It..." - The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Today's Monday Motivation comes in the form of dreams. Without dreams life would be a tedious affair. Dreams of what you want from life, or they can just be a flat out fantasy to get you through an otherwise mundane day.

Dreams are essential to our well being. Without them we would be nothing, and vice versa. The Rocky Horror Picture Show's number "Don't Dream It, Be It" has always been a go to source of inspiration. If you seriously have to ask why then you truly do not get the RHPS

Push the boundaries of your life and the expectations placed upon you and others and never look back with any regrets. Anything someone else can do you can do as well as long as you believe in your power of you.

This Monday December 10, 2018 be it damn it, don't merely dream it....

Oh, and a gentle reminder, 15 more days until Christmas in case you give a F#ck. How many F#cks do I give about that? Current tally 0 - I'm to busy being it, not dreaming it...

So let's get this Monday started - go out and be your own Sweet Transvestite!

Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire...

They Know That Santa's On His Way...
Mike Clifford
So I guess it's time to throw a little Christmas Spirit your collective way, since as you all have bared witness that I am not really that much into it. Halloween & Thanksgiving are more my jam. Yet somehow when I hear Mike Clifford's cover of the Nat King Cole classic The Christmas Song I get the warm fuzzy feeling of my youth for the Holiday.

Mike was a prolific singer in the 1960's with his signature hit Close To Cathy among other endeavors. He was also a favorite of the late Dick Clark making numerous appearances on American Bandstand as well as touring with the Dick Clark Caravan.

Yet our intrepid Mike had never recorded a song full of Holiday Cheer until 2017, yeah, last year. He wanted to have one on his impressive resume and here it is for all of you to enjoy. The former Teen Idol's gift to you.



So just sit right back and enjoy this Yuletide standard, right here, right now. Don't ever tell me I'm not a giver...

Where's Mike? Unlike Waldo I have the answer.
