Red Sun (1971, Terence Young) glad to see a positive review of this movie, since I thought it was a very entertaing mix of genres.
7/10
Illegal (1955, Lewis Allen) Anything with Edwatd G is interesting, so it stays on to-watch list.
Here are my latest...
21 Bridges 2019 directed by Brian Kirk.
Starring Chadwick Boseman, Sienna Miller, J.K. Simmons.
Nypd manhunt on a drug deal that went wrong and cops were killed, was there an inside job...?
A rather standard action movie that had potential and wished it was better since this was Chadwick Boseman's last acting job.
6,5/10.
Raw Deal 1986 directed by John Irvin.
Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kathryn Harrison, Sam Wanamaker, Ed Lauter.
A nearly forgotten Big Arnold movie that feels like an overblowed B-Movie.
Former FBI agent poses as a small town Sheriff to infiltrafe Chicago Mob.
Very violent and very boring.
5/10.

Snake in the Eagle's Shadow 1978 directed by Woo-Ping Yuen.
Knowing very well that Jackie Chan is a big star but where do one begin, so this was just a fluke that just happened to be his star-making role, and he actually replaced another actor.
It's something about a war between different martial arts styles.
The nearly ballet like movements in the fight's are the star, unfortuantly it's also filled with lousy comedy and slap-stick and one lousy wig.
Still interesting to have seen. Martial Arts fans might rate it higher than me.
6/10.
Kelly's Heroes 1970 directed by Brian G. Hutton.
Starring Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor, Donald Sutherland.
A hybrid WWII movie about a troup going for 16 million US dollars of gold bricks behind enemy lines.
A strange mix of parody, satire and real war movie, and sometimes it's really funny.
When I was young this was the tough guys movie, puny guys step aside... I adjusted that remark later in life, Just kidding.
6,5/10.
The Gorgon 1964 directed by Terence Fisher.
Starring Peter Cushing, Barbara Shelley, Christopher Lee.
Classic British Hammer Horror but, according to Christopher Lee the trouble with The Gorgon was The Gorgon, the rubber hair snakes never worked.
Seeing Christopher Lee who seems to be in a good mood, and Peter Cushing acting together is a joy, as is the beauty that was Barbara Shelley in a nearly straight role.
At times boring but with great sets and with some good color cinematography.
This one wasn't scary thanks to the rubbery snakes, but fun to have seen anyway.
6/10.
Hellzapoopin' 1941 directed by H.C. Potter and based on a Broadway stage show the played for over 1.400 performances.
Starring Olsen and Johnson, Martha Raye, Mischa Auer
A nearly plotless mayhem of a movie that breaks the 4th wall.
Either you buy it as the crazy movie it is, or you just stare and wonder what the H....
It did have an impact on future parody movies, but unfortunatly Olsen and Johnson became a cinematic one-hit wonder.
A comedian I can't stand, Hugh Herbert, is nearly acceptable here.
6,5/10.
