Short martial arts movies are fun to watch because they go straight for the action. “Yo Soy Un Hombre Loco” aka “I am a crazy Man” follows the same formula. A short martial arts film from LBP Stunts Chicago features two martial arts killers, number one (Shawn Bernal) and number two (Emmanuel Manzanares). Number two is ambitions, and he wants to become the best there is, and to do that, he needs to beat the number one. And, a final showdown is about to begin. UPS and DOWNS: Vlad Rimburg...Read Full Story

Feature films about serial killers are interesting to watch, because you never know how a particular filmmaker/director is going to approach the subject. I’ve seen both documentaries (most interesting of which was the one about Ted Bundy), and feature films (Michael Rooker as Henry in “Portrait of a Serial Killer” takes the cake), I’ve rarely heard about Peter Sutcliffe, and now I watched a movie on him – “Peter, Portrait of a Killer”.
