Older movie (2014) starring two time Oscar winner Adrien Brody (he must have been desperate for a paycheck) and Hayden "I'm not sure how I was cast as Anakin Skywalker" Christensen.

I'm not a comic book nerd so knew nothing about Red Sonja. I watched the new 2025 film because the title sounded interesting, maybe there was a brief flicker of memory too because I might have seen a poster for the 1985 "Red Sonja" film.

"Red Sonja" stars Matilda Lutz who has been in 17 films including the 2024 film "Magpie" that stars Daisy Ridley. I wasn't familiar with any of the other actors in "Red Sonja" which is not surprising for a film of this caliber.





At first I was confused by Red Sonja's fish scale armored bikini outfit but then I Googled the comic book source material, her outfit was perfect and I tossed all critical thought out the window and went with it. The film is a hero's journey from a frighted young girl to a vengeful warrior protecting the down trodden. A few giant monsters get in her way too.




Remember how we loved the "Hercules", "Jason and the Argonauts" and "Conan" films? "Red Sonja" is solidly in that film tradition, with better special effects. I have read that Red Sonja is one of Conan's buddies. Hopefully he will make an appearance in future films. Stay tuned... Red Sonja leaves the pub on another adventure in the final scene.

I was 13 years old when I watched those bigger than life heros on the big screen, luckily I can still enjoy these cheesy adventure films. I'm not an cranky old man yet. Now streaming, watch "Red Sonja" with your pre-teen sons and some homemade wooden swords for maximum fun.

I found a really bad movie. The original 1984 "The Toxic Avenger" is easily in the bottom 10 of one of the worst movies ever made. "The Toxic Avenger" has it all: really bad acting, fake fight scenes, offensive stereotypes, sexploitation, juvenile delinquents from hell, random, brutal, bloody killings and torture. This film has absolutely no redeeming value, morally bankrupt and nihilistic too.




But "The Toxic Avenger" is also a hero who cleans up a corrupt town while turning into a tender love story.


"The Toxic Avenger" also reminds me of the action scenes in "Twisted Metal", "Alien:Earth", "The Terminal List", "Peacemaker", and "The Boys." Albeit all with better acting and special effects. "The Toxic Avenger" with it's "anything goes, let's offend everybody" mindset also made "South Park" possible.


Why watch "The Toxic Avenger" now? Because somebody with really bad judgement decided that right now the world needs a real hero, Superman just ain't cutting it.

The new 2025 "The Toxic Avenger" stars Peter Dinklage as the title character, alongside Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon.
