Skidoo (Blu-ray)

Skip It THE MOVIE: The slang term “23 skidoo” is a reference to making a fast getaway, of getting out while the getting is good.

Samurai Cop (Blu-ray)

Highly Recommended The Movie: I sincerely hope that you will read this review instead of simply looking at the star rating and assuming that Samurai Cop is a mediocre and forgettable action movie from the 80s, which is what a 2.5 stars out of 5 implies. Before you write Samurai Cop off completely, let me explain myself: Samurai Cop is as far as you can get from mediocre or forgettable. Chances …
