A movie almost 20 years old release by VCDVaULT, a release group that I never heard of, they release this old film staring young Val Kilmer in 2 CD’s, so I think that the quality will be very good. This is an adventure/fantasy film created by the man behind Star Wars. The film was nominated for 2 Oscars back in 1989 and one of the was the category of “Best Effects”. Some of you will like to watch this and some “like me” will pass this. Enjoy!

Based on a story by STAR WARS creator George Lucas, WILLOW is director Ron Howard’s fantasy world of medieval adventure. WILLOW stars Val Kilmer as Madmartigan, a swashbuckling warrior, and Warwick Davis as the title character. In a mythical kingdom, the evil sorceress Queen Bavmorda (Jean Marsh) plots to kill all infants so that the newborn princess, Elora, will never take over the throne. But a midwife sets the baby adrift in a river, and she is rescued by Willow, a farmer in Nelwyn, a peaceful village of trolls, fairies, and little folk. Willow and Madmartigan begin a quest to deliver the baby from evil while being chased by Queen Bavmorda’s daughter, Sorsha (Joanne Whalley), sent to bring the baby back to Nockmaar.

Director Howard benefited from his affiliation with George Lucas on the film Lucas’s company, Industrial Light and Magic, contributed the Oscar nominated special effects. Lucas, the executive producer of WILLOW, went on to create a series of books based on the world of WILLOW, the SHADOW WAR series.

Another old Drama movie was released earlier today. It seems to be a good movie with some known actors as Jeroen Krabbé, Jesse Bradford, Katherine Heigl and Adrien Brody. Some of these actors are now very known but in this film they were just kids. Never heard about this one before so I think I’ll wait for some comments before leeching it. IMDB and RottenTomatoes have only good things to say about this one. iMMORTALs once again brings out something interesting in decent quality, this release is a standard 1CD DVDRiP. Enjoy!

For Steven Soderbergh’s third feature film, the acclaimed director adapts A.E. Hotchner’s 1972 memoir. Set in 1933 St. Louis, KING OF THE HILL follows 12-year-old Aaron Kurlander (a magnetic Jesse Bradford), a bright, affable boy coming of age during the heart of the American depression. His financially troubled family consists of a salesman father (Jeroen Krabbe) who must leave home to search for employment, a chronically ill mother (Lisa Eichhorn), and a younger brother (Cameron Boyd) who has been sent away to live with relatives. Their home in a poverty-stricken neighborhood is the dank Empire Hotel, where Aaron befriends hotel guests and management, including Lester (Adrien Brody) and Mr. Munco (Spalding Gray).

When Aaron’s not at school–where he’s an honor student and master marble player–he’s at the hotel trying to cope with the familial and economic adversities that consume his world and keep his stomach growling. Eventually, the broken family is reunited when Mr. Kurlander secures a job as a clerk, but it is up to Aaron to forgive his father for abandonment if they’re to become a family again. Soderbergh films KING OF THE HILL with colorful photography, adding optimism even when things are at their most hopeless.

OK, after all these action movies, I think it’s time for one dramatic film that has a decent IMDB rating. A movie that I never heard of and I’m not sure If I will check it. It seems to be Gary Oldman’s first director work. People who have seen it can tell us if this is worth watching or is it better to pass this one? I told you earlier that AXIAL released 6 movies today and this is the 5th and last post. The other movie that was released by the group is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s action movies: Raw Deal. Here is the IMDB page and the torrent link. Enjoy!

Nil by Mouth is a 1997 British film surrounding the life of a family of characters living in south-east London. It was the debut of Gary Oldman as a writer, director and producer (partnered with Douglas Urbanski); who based the film on his own life growing up in the area. It stars Ray Winstone as Raymond in a landmark role as the abusive husband of Valerie (Kathy Burke). The film was a critical and cultural success, winning eight awards and being nominated for a further eight.

Gary Oldman cast his sister Laila Morse (most famous for playing Mo Harris in EastEnders) in the part of Janet and had his mother sing the parting song in the film (although it was dubbed over a shot of another actress singing).

There are several interesting aspects of the film. The soundtrack was never released, reportedly due to contractual obligations of the material Eric Clapton contributed.

Another Asian movie was released by AXIAL today. Another respectful Asian star, Yun-Fat Chow. I never searched for his movie but they are always welcome. Never heard before about this film but I think some will be thankful to AXIAL for releasing this one. They say that this the film where “Reservoir Dogs” by Tarantino is based on. Our chance to see if there was a same movie released 5 years before Tarantino’s film. Quality? I don’t think I have to say something about it, enjoy!

When an undercover cop is killed, Chow (Chow Yun-Fat) is recruited by Inspector Lau (Sun Yueh) to take his place trying to infiltrate a gang of thieves. But Chow had previously done undercover work and had developed an emotional bond with the men he then later had to betray–and he is afraid it could happen again. The loyalty of the younger cop to the older man will be tested against the bonds he must form with the criminals in order to be trusted by them. This theme of the similarities between cops and criminals is a staple of the heroic bloodshed branch of Hong Kong cinema.

Chow befriends Fu (Danny Lee) by posing as a man who can supply the guns needed for a jewelry heist. Director Ringo Lam stages his action and street scenes with a high degree of realism. The characters’ movements are erratic and the violence is brutal and unstylized, with everything unfolding in believable chaos. Released at the same time as A BETTER TOMORROW, it made Chow Yun-Fat a Hong Kong star. This Hong Kong classic formed the basis for Quentin Tarantino’s later RESERVOIR DOGS.

Genre: Action / Crime / Drama / Thriller

Another decent release by AXIAL is the 2nd movie of Underworld with fine Kate Beckinsale. I saw this movie on DVD and it was quiet nice. The first one was nice, nice idea of making such a movie, many special effects and all this kind that makes a movie more commercial. It can be that some of you have missed the sequel, so here you go. There are others who like all this vampire thing and will want to watch it again. The quality is great with 6 channel sound and very good video bitrate. Enjoy!

The sequel to the $100 million worldwide hit, “Underworld: Evolution” continues the saga of war between the aristocratic Death Dealers and the barbaric Lycans (werewolves). The film traces the beginnings of the ancient feud between the two tribes as Selene (Kate Beckinsale), the beautiful vampire heroine, and Michael (Scott Speedman), the lycan hybrid, try to unlock the secrets of their bloodlines. The fast-paced, modern-day tale of deadly action, ruthless intrigue and forbidden love takes them into the battle to end all wars as the immortals must finally face their retribution.

I will watch this for sure! Why? There are two things why I’m gonna watch this film that I never earlier heard of. Takeshi Kitano stars and has directed this film and the movie has a very good rating for it’s genre. People who know Takeshi Kitano and haven’t seen this, I’m sure you will do now. The ones who like something different action than the American standards, here you are. Enjoy!

In his directorial debut, famed Japanese personality Takeshi Kitano (acting under the alias Beat Takeshi) plays Azuma, a brutal but honorable cop at the end of his rope. Azuma’s trying daily routine involves dealing with a naive new partner and caring for his drug-dependent, mentally challenged sister. When a friend on the police force is killed and his sister is kidnapped by drug dealers, Azuma begins walking a mercilessly vengeful path that leads to a shocking finale.

VIOLENT COP is a stunning first feature from Kitano, who took over for veteran director Kinji Fukasaku after he left the project. Primarily known as a television comedian, Kitano rewrote the script to better suit his surprisingly dark vision of the film, which serves an intriguing introduction to his unique directorial style, combining scenes of extreme violence with beautifully meditative shots. Elevating the then-waning yakuza genre to a more artistic level, Kitano’s film is a landmark in late 20th century Japanese cinema.

Genre: Action / Crime / Drama

Directed by: Takeshi Kitano
Starring: Takeshi Kitano, Maiko Kawakami, Makoto Ashikawa

Bad boys, bad boys, watcha goona do, watcha gonna do when they come for you! I just got home and I first gave a comment about the bad release weekend, but after a few minutes I’m checking my private tracker and I see 6 AXIAL releases, damn that’s good! The first release if one of my all time favorites, Bad Boys with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, a very good action/comedy movie from 1995. I think many people have seen it more than one time… people who have missed it, shame on you Let’s keep it short cause I still have to post 2-3 more movies that AXIAL released. Enjoy!

Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) is a happily married family man. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) is a smooth-talking bachelor. Both are cops in the narcotics division of the Miami police department. When $100 million dollars worth of seized heroin is stolen from their police station, the mismatched duo are forced to switch identities to placate the only witness (Tea Leoni) who can lead them to the drug lord responsible and save their jobs before the FBI closes them down. This explosion-heavy, chase-filled, gun-smoking action comedy is directed by Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, PEARL HARBOR) and features comedic odd-couple-style bantering between the aptly paired Smith and Lawrence.

Genre: Action / Comedy / Crime / Thriller

Starring: Martin Lawrence, Will Smith, Téa Leoni, Tchéky Karyo
