Brawl in Cell Block 99
The films in S. Craig Zahler's modest filmography are infamous for their unflinching depictions of violence, with his 2017 prison thriller Brawl in Cell Block 99taking things to a hilariously gruesome extreme. Vince Vaughn, in a surprisingly effective dramatic performance, plays Thomas Bradley, a man whose quiet demeanor hides near-superhuman strength. After a drug deal goes horribly awry, Bradley finds himself in a battle of wits and fists against a drug kingpin, with the lives of his wife a...
The Raid
The various brawls in Gareth Evans' The Raid duology are as fast as they are bloody. The first film of the duology, The Raid, takes the violence to a brutal extreme due to its confined setting. Iko Uwais stars as Rama, a rookie officer joining the titular apartment block raid in order to arrest a dangerous crime lord. However, even the best of plans have a way of going terribly wrong, leaving Rama alone to fight through a horde of professionally trained criminals. The final battle in the film...
The Brave Little Toaster
Underneath its cutesy presentation, 1987's The Brave Little Toaster dealt with some pretty heavy themes. The film takes a typical Toy Storypremise and applies it to domestic appliances, with our titular toaster leading a group of five other devices on a grandiose journey. When their owner mysteriously vanishes one day, the group sets off to find him. But before the adventure begins, our group is confronted by an outwardly bitter and sarcastic air conditioner played by Phil Hartman. You wouldn...
RoboCop

However, toying with someone's afterlife against their will isn't exactly an act of charity.

Osmosis Jones
The oft-forgotten Osmosis Jonesis still as flawed as it was more than two decades ago. However, if it did anything right, it had a genuinely intimidating villain. The film sees Chris Rock voicing the affable "Ozzy" Jones, a wise-cracking white blood cell residing in the body of Frank DeTorri. With DeTorri beginning to neglect his health, he accidentally introduces a sadistic virus known as Thrax (Laurence Fishburne) into his body. Ozzy, alongside a mechanical cold pill named "Drix," is tasked...
The Flintstones
We all love it when the villain gets exactly what they deserve. In The Flintstones feature-length film based on the family-oriented Hanna-Barbera cartoon, however, it was a bit much. Slate and Co-executive Cliff Vandercave, accompanied by his seductive secretary played by Halle Berry, have plans to embezzle the profits of the stone quarry and blame Fred Flinstone to get away scot-free. After blackmailing Fred to terminate all his friends off of staff, it appears Vandercliff's plan is a hitch....
A Clockwork Orange
A Clockwork Orangeis a film so full of exaggerated and unnecessary violence, it is hard to pinpoint one single criminal event to iterate on. The main character, since protagonist is a word ill-used on this ne'er-do-well, is a troubled teenager who is ironically named Alexander. The disaffected youth spends his days sleeping, and his nights roaming the streets with his group of cronies, looking to injure, rape, and torture whoever crosses their path. Perhaps the most ridiculous and unnecessary...

Into the Wild
Perhaps better known by his alias, Alexander Supertramp, Chris McCandless was a real-life American explorer who grew up to favor a nomadic lifestyle similar to that of the transcendentalist writer's movement. The true story of his life was adapted into a novel as well as a critically acclaimed film by the same title, Into the Wild. As the title suggests, Chris McCandless ventured into the wilderness. With only the goal of survival in mind, he persisted for around 113 days living on squirrels,...
