Ricki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)

Everyone enjoys a good action flick. I don’t care if you’re a gorehound that loves watching zombies tear the flesh off of nubile women while they try to get their freak on with the dumbass boyfriend that was hired to simply lay under the actress while she gyrates in every direction. Maybe you like when the totally undeserving waste of life jerk figures out that his life is meaningless without the simple, small-town girl, that he just bailed on for a night of anal with the hookers down the street. In either case, you enjoy action films once and a while. That brings us to the topic of this review, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. That’s right. The film’s so badass that they used the main character’s name twice in the title (thanks Edgar Wright for pointing that out). And, while the title may not exactly let the audience know what they’re in for, I can tell you that once you’ve seen Ricki-Oh, you’ll never be the same.

Cage To Star In Carpenter’s Scared Straight

I fucking suck!

Nicholas Cage is in final negotiations to star in John Carpenter’s next film, Scared Straight. The film is about a group of school kids involved in the Scared Straight program, a program that has delinquent teens spend a little time in actual prisons in hopes of steering their life in a different direction after seeing what prison life is really like. In the film, a riot breaks out and a teen is taken hostage. Nicholas Cage is set to play an inmate serving a life sentence who attempts to help the teen…and let me guess…succeeds and receives a pardon from a crime the audience learns he didn’t actually commit. It was in fact, committed by another man in the prison who Cage will have a showdown with and win…or some dumb shit like that.
