This is a really great site written by someone who never gives their name, but I can only assume is a very relaxed individual, as the gentle, unhurried pace of his reviews captures both the feel of the actual mise-en-scene of each film and his reactions.

 
Favorite quotes include:
 
"Frequently when I'm at one of those Strike Commando conventions they hold a couple of times a year, I hear other fans debating which was their favorite Rebbo moment. For some it was when he fought the big Russian to the death. For others, it was when he fought the big Russian to the death a second time." (Strike Commando
 
"If you like 70s style kitsch, then you'll be right at home as soon as this thing starts up. Of course, if you're in to 70s style kitsch, then you're a poser who needs to be reminded that our primary goal here is to watch as many Italian slasher movies as possible and that we a have zero-tolerance policy on posers (unless the nature of your pose is that you're too cool for this movie, then I'd say that you need to get down off your high horse and take this movie for the kitschy fun that it is)." (Au Pair Girls)
 
"It was at the 13 and a half minute mark when I first heard the "boring" chants. After noticing that I was the only one watching this film, I quickly realized that the chants were coming from me." (Kill Baby Kill)
