Movie Review: The Expendables (2010)
The pinnacle of action movies occurred in the 1980′s with movies such as Die Hard (1988), Predator (1987), Commando (1985), Terminator (1984) and Rambo (1982) taking the world by storm and altering the genre forever.

Movie Review: Black Dynamite (2009)
An over-the-top parody of blaxsploitation movies of the 1970′s, Scott Sanders’ laugh riot Black Dynamite captures the retro feel and look of the era. Michael Jai White plays the title character, a legendary African-American action hero who is a former cop and CIA agent out for blood after his brother’s murder.
