By: John M Jerva This week on The Action Fix Live we delved into a film that is near and dear to my heart. The film that started me on my Kenpo journey. We discuss the man that inspired me to finally enter a dojo. In 1991, Kenpo master Jeff Speakman erupted from out of nowhere in a martial arts film that spoke the world … Continue reading The Action Elite Live: The War Room- Jeff Speakman is THE PERFECT WEAPON!
By: John M Jerva After a few months off, Eoin over at The Action Elite has returned with his live podcast The War Room.

By: John M Jerva This week on The War Room over at The Action Elite, Eoin along with J-Man and Stephen discuss one of the curious entries in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s filmography. The movie is Last Action Hero and upon it’s initial release back in 1993, the movie wasn’t well received and Schwarzenegger himself considered this movie the initial ending of his career. I think he … Continue reading The Action Elite Live: The War Room- Discussing the Underrated Schwarzenegger Action-Comedy LAST ACTION HERO
By: John M Jerva I’m on injured reserve for the time being but The Action Elite Live: The War Room is back and better than ever. In this episode, ringmaster Eoin Friel along with J-Man and Sean discuss the greatness of the 1993 action classic Demolition Man which starred Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes in a winner take all sci-fi action extravaganza that was the … Continue reading The Action Elite Live: The War Room: Discussing the Greatness of DEMOLITION MAN!
By: Eoin Friel Summary No Time to Die is going to be the most divisive Bond film of all time and I think many fans (like myself) will hate what they did with it. It has a few decent set-pieces but lacks the sense of fun that past entries had and I have no desire to ever watch it again. 2 Out of 5 Stars … Continue reading Review: NO TIME TO DIE has a Few Decent Set Pieces but Lacks Fun
By: John M Jerva In the first ever versus battle on The War Room Live, Eoin and J-Man discuss the Exterminator films from the 80’s with Robert Ginty as a cross between Paul Kersey and Frank Castle in a wonderful example of exploitation cinema.

EXTERMINATOR 2

By: John M Jerva Love him or hate him (and God help me do I love a Steven Seagal flick, good or bad) there’s no denying that the Aikido master has had an influential effect on the action genre. Ever since Sensei Seagal came out of nowhere in the 1988 testosterone fueled action epic Above the Law, he’s bashed in more heads and put more … Continue reading The Action Elite Live: The War Room – Let’s Walk… ON DEADLY GROUND (1994)
By: John M Jerva Another great episode of The Action Elite War Room Live took place last night as we delved into the glory days of DTV VHS action movies and most notably Showdown and other great martial arts action flicks starring the powerhouse Billy Blanks.

By: Eoin Friel Summary Free Guy may be The Truman Show for the Fortnite crowd but I was surprised how enjoyable it was with Ryan Reynolds his usual self but it works perfectly for this movie and he makes Guy an immediately appealing protagonist. There is plenty of action with explosions, chases and even some fights so if you’re looking for some bright escapism from … Continue reading Review: FREE GUY (2021)
By: John M Jerva You can say it a million times and it still won’t be enough but there’s nothing like the golden days of action cinema in the 80’s where theaters and video stores were packed with the most unapologetic and deliciously violent action fests with some of the industry’s greatest stars. One such film was the rapid fire slugfest Showdown in Little Tokyo … Continue reading The Action Elite War Room Live: Celebrating 30 Years of SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO!
By: John M Jerva I never got to do a proper review of one of my most anticipated films of the year in Snake Eyes GI Joe Origins unfortunately due to time constraints and life in general so it was great to finally chat about the film and my passion for all things Snake and GI Joe as well as serve up my feelings on … Continue reading The Action Elite War Room Live: The Yin & Yang of SNAKE EYES- GI JOE ORIGINS

By: John M Jerva I was going to do a video review of Snake Eyes finally tonight but that was put on the back burner as my partner in crime Eoin Friel from The Action Elite invited me to do a special YouTube War Room show on F9 and the Fast and Furious saga which dammit I enjoy the hell out of. I take a … Continue reading THE ACTION ELITE WAR ROOM: Revving Up with F9 and the FAST AND FURIOUS SAGA!

By: John M Jerva Everyone who has a man card knows that Rambo is the greatest action hero ever and Stallone definitely has the street cred for bringing him to life in five glorious films.

Thanks to Eoin of The Action Elite for … Continue reading THE ACTION ELITE Live: The War Room- RAMBO Franchise Retrospective
