Movies Seen Recently: Unknown, Cat O’Nine Tails, Bloodsport 2
Unknown (2006) – I love me a good amnesia opening, you know? In this case, five guys wake up in a locked-down warehouse without remembering who they are. Some are tied up; some are injured; some are armed. Who’s captive to whom, who’s a good guy and who’s a bad guy, and when whoever locked…

Best of the Best 3: No Turning Back (1995) – This movie is much better than the third installment in a kickboxing franchise has any right to be. The first two installments starred Eric Roberts, with Phillip Rhee as the sidekick, and were fairly standard “tournament by revenge” movies (from what I can tell —…
