Michael S. Ojeda’s filmography boasts three major features, including the recently released action flick Dominique, and all three of them deal with an exceptionally strong female lead going down a violent path to seek revenge against the men who have wronged them. Unlike Ojeda’s last two entries, namely Avenged and The Russian Bride, which had certain intrigue and complexity in their narratives, Dominique is a simplistic, no-nonsense, fast-paced action spectacle that doesn’t allow viewers a chance to settle down. Actor Oksana Orlan, who played the lead role in Ojeda’s previous feature, returns as the titular mercenary/assassin, whose bloody quest for vengeance against corrupt police forces and cartels in a small South American town makes for an entertaining watch.

The biggest surprise about Shark Side of the Moon is that, in a genre that’s already seen Sharks of the Corn, Sharkula, Ouija Shark and even Shark Encounters of the Third Kind, it took so long for someone to use the title. What shouldn’t be so surprising is that it was The Asylum that did it and it makes its bow as a Tubi Original, part of Bitefest, the streaming service’s Shark Month.

During the Cold War, the Soviets were experimenting with human/shark hybrids at a launch facility. As is usually the case in these situations the experimental creatures got free. In a desperate bid to keep them from reaching the ocean, Sergey lured them onto a shuttle...

Once Upon a Time in Deadwood follows a notorious gunslinger who is slipped a slow-acting poison by an heiress and told he has three days to track down and rescue her sister, who has been kidnapped by a band of hoodlums and holds the antidote. Sounds fun, right?

A riff on Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood starring the world's premiere Charles Bronson impersonator has arrived in the form of Once Upon a Time in Deadwood, which also plays off of HBO's hit series and Charles Bronson's own Once Upon a Time in the West for a trifecta of tomfoolery. Today, we have a trailer and poster for this revenge Western staring Robert Bronzi, which looks like an action-packed Fugazi, sun bleached and faded to perfection.

The new artwork and a trailer have been released for Once Upon a Time in Deadwood, the new revenge western feature starring Robert Bronzi (recent hit Death Kiss) and Michael Pare (Streets of Fire) that comes out October 1st in the U.S. The story concerns a notorious gunslinger who is slipped a slow-acting poison by an heiress and told he has three days to track down and rescue her sister,...

The Solution Entertainment Group and Vmi Worldwide have picked up international sales rights for adrenaline-fueled romance “Cruise,” written and directed by Robert Siegel, who wrote “The Wrestler” and “The Founder.” The film, which stars Spencer Boldman and Emily Ratajkowski, will be screened for buyers at the Cannes Film Market.

“Cruise” is “a joyous, music-filled trip down memory lane,” according to a statement.

One night he crosses paths with Jessica Weinberg (Ratajkowski), a sophisticated college girl from Long Island looking for thrills on the wrong side of the tracks. They embark on an unlikely summer romance that...
