Death Race (2008)

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 07:25:47 -0500

The movie is exactly what the title sounds like- it’s about prisoners who race cars, with no rules, no hold-barred racing, and the races generally end up with people dying.

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:24:51 -0500

As our regular readers know, the Action Flick Chick is on a mission to identify the top male and female kickers of asses, especially the action chicks because the boys are disproportionately represented, and we’re giving PRIZES to people whose nominations particularly impress us.

Push (2009)

Thu, 5 Mar 2009 07:23:21 -0500

For once, I was actually into the story more than the action, which is good because it had an interesting story and very little action. One perk to this movie is that you get to see a bit o’ Fanning pretending to be drunk.

Resident Evil (2002)

Thu, 5 Mar 2009 04:33:24 -0600

You think she’s innocent. You think she’s helpless at first, and then she goes and breaks a zombie’s neck with her bare hands. Milla Jovovich is definitely one chick who does not want flowers for Valentine’s Day.

Kill Bill, Vol. One

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 01:26:36 -0600

If you assume Kill Bill Volume 1 has enough action to satiate this Chick, think again.

Interruption for a New Release: Taken

Wed, 4 Feb 2009 01:58:55 -0600

Never has the expression “Don’t talk to strangers” ever been as true as it is in Taken. After some punks kidnap Liam Neeson’s daughter, the Liam drops the hammer and rules this movie as he kicks every person’s ass singlehandedly. It’s not like he was being unfair either, he gave them ample warning as to what was going to happen…they just didn’t believe him until it was too late.

NEW SERIES: Girls Who Don't Want Flowers for Valentine's Day

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 05:11:38 -0600

AND NOW! THE SPECIAL EVENT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! THE ACTION FLICK CHICK’S NEW SERIES “CHICKS WHO DON’T WANT FLOWERS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY!” To celebrate this repugnant holiday, I’m gonna review movies about chicks who kick so much ass, they don’t even need guys at all.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 05:11:16 -0600

She’s a motorcycle riding, leather wearing, gun slinging tomb raider in the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Croft is an independent woman who can take care of her own problems by using two guns and plain old fashioned ass kicking. Boys, tuck away your junk because Croft doesn’t mess around. She plays for keeps.

Top 5 Suicides in the Reimagined Battlestar Galactica

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:08:14 -0600

In the updated Battlestar Galactica series, characters die. A lot. The series starts off with the extermination of much of the human race, and the opening of nearly every episode shows the dwindling population count. Not content to wait for their enemies to kill them off, numerous characters have decided to do the deed themselves.

3-D from 3 She's: Three out of Three Genre Girls Agree.

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 21:51:36 -0600

Three out of three genre girls agree that My Bloody Valentine 3-D is bloody fun to see.

My Bloody Valentine 3-D

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 05:45:11 -0600

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!! It is a little bit early but who says I can’t celebrate my love for myself on more than one day. Anyway, My Bloody Valentine 3D is the perfect movie to take your shy, squeamish boy, or girl to see on Valentine’s Day. It’s packed full of messed up relationships and people hackin’ each other up. Perfect! I know that’s what I like to do on my Valentine’s Day.

Blade Trinity

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:22:56 -0500

THE HUMAN RACE HAS BEEN SAVED! You can breathe a little easier, and go back to your normal routines without having to worry about vampires sneaking around trying to drink your blood. Blade (Wesley Snipes) has come to the rescue once again and for the final time in Blade Trinity. This time, he kicks their asses and doesn’t even bother taking their names, he’s just that cool. Along side with Blade we get to see newcomers Abigail (Jessica Biel) and Hannibal (Ryan Reynolds) do their share of killing. This movie does not mess around. Since this is the third installment, there’s hardly any plot to set up which leaves more time for good old fashioned ....

Cloverfield

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:18:12 -0500

Guys getting killed (Bad guys): The big bad monster, only he doesn’t die, it’s just us, the human race getting their insides handed to them. Big thumbs up.

Dawn of the Dead

Fri, 3 Oct 2008 22:21:26 -0500

I am talking about the remake, the one from 2004. I mean, I love this movie so much I would marry it, and gladly have its zombie babies.

Die Hard

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:17:45 -0500

Despite all the gruesome shots, the most shocking scene of the whole movie comes a little later. There’s a point where Carl Winslow is standing outside, deep in contemplation. The camera pans up to a sign that shows…. Cover your children’s eyes, lock the doors, and tell your Amish friends to go home. Are you ready for this? The gas price in Los Angeles in 1988 was….74 cents per gallon. Gaaasssppp!! I know, I was scared too, but I think it was for real. If it was 74 cents in LA, it was probably 10 cents everywhere else in the world. Oh the good old days. Back to the movie . . . .

Die Hard 2: Die Harder

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:50:26 -0600

It’s Christmas time again which means that John McClane is killing terrorists again. It must be an annual event now, a family tradition in the grandest sense. Hey kids, what do you want to do this Christmas? We want to watch you single handedly kill all the terrorists that have taken over something. Pop the popcorn and bring out the sleeping bags, John McClane doesn’t disappoint.

Eagle Eye

Fri, 2 Jan 2009 23:19:46 -0600

Eagle Eye could also be called Metal Gear Solid: The Movie. There are some powerful similarities. As you watch the movie you keep thinking, I have seen this somewhere before…what could it be? Well, now you know, but it isn’t a bad thing.

First Blood (which some people think was Rambo I but technically wasn't)

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:20:54 -0500

Best line: *Rambo sneaks up next to a passing national guard truck and jumps in, pressing a knife to the throat of the driver. The driver, shaken, looks at Rambo. Rambo: "Don’t look at me, look at the road. That’s how accidents happen." Best Explosion: Rambo blows up a jeep, which rolls into a gas station, which explodes, causing the flaming wreckage to fly into a nearby car dealership lot, wherein all the parked cars also explode.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 21:54:37 -0600

I HAVE BEEN TRICKED! IF YOU’RE NOT CAREFUL YOU WILL BE TRICKED TOO. Here I was thinking Hellboy II was an action movie, and probably a pretty good one at that, but what I got instead was a movie filled with plot and a foofy schmoofy love story. Blaah, Gagg. If I wanted a foofy schmoofy love story, I’d watch Moulin Rouge. Save it for the Lifetime channel people. I know I know, I just offended you because you liked Hellboy II. Well, too friggin’ bad. And now for a little segment I like to call 16 No’s . . .

Home Alone

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 11:46:42 -0600

It is fun to just go back to your childhood sometimes, where from your perspective everything is exaggerated; everything that happens is either the end of the world or the coolest thing in the universe, where every older sibling is a mortal enemy and a hero, and where you have at least one neighbor who is the friendly neighborhood sidewalk salter, and for sure the friendly neighborhood mass murderer. Good times.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 03:52:46 -0600

At first I was wondering why was this great adventurer in the trunk of the car, he’s better than that. And then I realized… he is a professor of archeology, not some trained killer. For a professor, he does a pretty good share of butt-stomping, all things considered, so I’ll let it slide this time Indie, but you should really be more prepared next time: take some self defense classes, arm yourself, or something.

The Long Kiss Goodnight

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 01:51:16 -0600

Merry Christmas, kids! Your mom is a trained assassin and can snap a guy’s neck with one hand while baking a pie with the other.

Lost Boys

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 00:08:44 -0500

I love watching old movies because of the cheesy dialogue, crazy outfits, and odd mannerisms. It’s great, you should try a sample, see if you want to order up the entire dish. For example, Corey Haim’s character, Sam, is supposed to be a teenager in this movie. Well he gets scared and asks his mommy if he can sleep with her in her bed. OMG! You’re a teenager. How about you grow a pair and kill any vampires that come into your room. Freakin’ nursery school.

Lost Boys 2: The Tribe

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:22:25 -0500

For The Lost Boys I was sad over how long it took ultra-cool Corey Feldman to appear, a grotesque 13 minutes. Well, in this one it takes an unholy 33 minutes before Edgar Frog makes his triumphant return. Come on people. Wake up and smell the Feldman roses. He is the real star of the movie. We should be seeing him from the get go.

NBC's Heroes. Incoming from Comic Con: Season 3 Premiere.

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:20:18 -0500

Incoming from Comic Con: NBC's Heroes. SPOILER ALERT!!!! Heroes episode 1 of season 3: "Villains" is packed full of everything that the fans have been craving since they aired the first season. Its action packed and chock full of plot. Enough happens in the first episode that could really be spread out into five episodes. There are more special effects, more use of everyone’s powers, and more action than the first two seasons combined. The writers really kicked it up a notch after seeing that the fans were getting bored with the second season. If the rest of the season is even half as good as the first episode then this is going to rock the socks off of everyone. It is definitely worth tuning into this upcoming fall to find out what happens. Here’s what happens in the first episode . . . .

Quantum of Solace

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:09:40 -0600

"If you could avoid killing every possible lead, it would be greatly appreciated." I think that this line spoken by M (Judi Dench) to Bond (Daniel Craig) explains this movie very well.

Quarantine

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 19:29:54 -0500

I guess I just live under a rock with nothing but a TV, a DVD player, and a stack of action movies because I missed all news about Quarantine. I didn’t know what to expect and I think because of that, it was a very tense and scary movie to watch. I say that because I have heard that the trailers give away some key plot points of the movie that kind of ruins it for you. So beware of the trailers!

Rambo: First Blood Part II

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:19:55 -0500

Best Kill: Rambo is running from the Vietnamese and Russians. He meets up with a lone Vietnamese soldier. The soldier shoots at Rambo repeatedly, and Rambo never even flinches. He stands there and stares at the soldier. The soldier runs out of ammo, looks at Rambo, and runs the other direction. Rambo ever so slowly raises his bow and takes aim. He shoots the soldier with one of his exploding arrow heads, causing him to explode. Nothing was left of this guy, not even his boots. Best line: Rambo gets captured and is being tortured. The Russian bad guy commands that Rambo get on the radio and make a call to the American headquarters from which he came and tell them that he is still alive but has been condemned, etc. Rambo replies . . . .

Rambo III

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:19:04 -0500

Rambo III gives you all the action you desire and leaves you wanting nothing. In this flick we even get to see Richard Crenna kick some ass, not bad for an old guy. I have finally figured out, after three Rambo movies, why Richard Crenna is in all of them. He is Rambo’s hype man; Most of Crenna’s lines consist of things like “You don’t have to hunt Rambo, he’ll hunt you.” Or “I hope you brought a big enough supply…of body bags.” He’s the Rambo equivalent of Flavor Flav. This time, Rambo teams up with the Afghani people to fight Soviet Russia in order to save the colonel. Rambo teams up to fight alongside the very people that our American soldiers are fighting against today. One wonders why we don’t see this on TV often.

Rambo (the fourth one)

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:18:26 -0500

Amount of time before Rambo related action: ~ 19 mins Best Explosion: In the middle of the jungle, there is an old world war bomb that never detonated. While running from the Burmese military (after the remaining soldiers stumble on the corpses of a few zillion of their dead comrades that Rambo took out the night before), Rambo sets up a mine on the bomb. He leads them there by tying a piece of the American woman’s shirt to the mine and then covering the mine with leaves. The Burmese dogs lead them to the shirt, confused the military picks it up and sets off the mine, also setting off the bomb. This explosion is so great that it makes when the Mothership in Independence Day blew up the White House look like a pile of pop rocks with coca-cola poured on it.

Sex and the City

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 02:53:01 -0600

Am I the only girl who doesn’t see men as worthless individuals and only good for one thing? Now, I understand that some people liked to watch the series for the dirty stuff, but the movie is lacking in that area. Sex and the City turned into just The City. Booooo.

Sin City

Sat, 8 Nov 2008 20:53:47 -0600

The whole movie was very flat and had absolutely no humor, which makes it boring for me. Even the action was kinda boring. There was a lot of implied action: implied torture, implied kills. Forget that, I want to see the torture; I want to see the killing and decapitations, none of that panning away and letting your imagination take over. I watch TV, I don’t have an imagination.

Tropic Thunder

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:21:28 -0500

Tropic Thunder is a movie about people filming a movie based on a Vietnam war novel written by a Mr. “Four leaf” Tayback. Pay attention because this can get confusing with all the movie talk within a movie. The actors are playing actors. Downey is playing an Australian who is playing an African American soldier. It’s utter madness. The opening scene of Tropic Thunder is the plateau of action in the movie that they’re making. All the action is obviously a fake war scene, but it has some deliciously fake injuries followed with some deliciously fake blood and guts. After that however, the action stops and the comedy takes over.

You Got Served

Thu, 17 Apr 2003 02:16:55 -0500

Best kill: The one and only kill of the movie, the youngest member of the crew, Lil Saint, dies is a gang related crime. No real loss, cause that kid was the Scrappy Doo of this movie.

(Find out why in the world You Got Served winds up among the action flicks.)

Discovery of the Week: Action Flick Chick Song

They posted samples of most of the album's songs on their site but not that one. What's wrong with those people?
