B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - GULAG (TV 1985)

This month B-Movie Gazette dives into the prison genre and who doesn't like a good prison flick? Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land. David Keith is in top form as a sportscaster and while covering an event in Moscow is framed by the KGB. Unable to prove his innocence a prison escape is now inevitable, just how will he do it? Malcolm McDowell co-stars, this is a good one folks! 2.75 stars/2.75

EMILIO ESTEVEZ AND FRIENDS ARE OUT FOR THE NIGHT WHEN THEY WITNESS A MURDER AND ARE CHASED BY DRUG DEALERS IN "JUDGMENT NIGHT" (1993)

 

One review I read describes Judgment Night as basically an excellently directed and produced film but at the same time wholly preposterous in its plot and storyline. I start my post with this as I believe it's about as spot-on a description as you can get. Judgment Night is basically one long chase film through South Philly with our four protagonists (which includes a young Cuba Gooding Jr) and a drug dealer thug (Denis Leary) and his gang. The chase leads them through quite a few different situations such as over roofs, through train yards and even the sewer as they try and evade the bad guys.

1993 was a really great year for action movies and I would add this to the list. It's a fun little action flick and in the first part features one of the coolest party trailers you'll ever see, at least for 1993, I only wish it had been used more. Thumbs way up on this one and good news, it's currently streaming on Tubi, Plex, Amazon Prime, Sling and Freevee.  3.25 stars/5
