Maximum Impact: Potential For Maximum Violence. September 28, 2018

This is obviously slapped together quickly to take advantage of the fans of violence, sexy Asian girl and Kung Fu taking place in Russia. So Russian spies are probably involved too. Looks like it aims to promise a mish mash of gratuitous sex, bad men, a heist, lots of gun violence and  crazy martial arts in the midst.

Lone Man With Gun: Weekend of April 24, 2014: Laugh Killer Laugh.



The movie is described in some reviews as a killer who enrolls in a creative writing class and starts spewing stories about his exploits and past. Premise sounds interesting and possibly humorous to me, but I think a more creative poster emphasizing the main character's writing attempts rather than his killing job might make me want to see it more. I would dismiss this movie based on this poster. The tagline: Wiseguy or Wiseass doesn't help either. However, reading online about the movie does. LA Times gave it a brief but good review. This leads me to think: If a movie has to rely on people digging deeper to bring themselves to want to see it, then the poster it probably spent millions of dollars on is not doing its job.

Laugh Killer Laugh, starring William Forsythe, Tom Sizemore and Bianca Hunter. Directed by Kamal Ahmed.
