Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Alex]

Over the weekend we stayed in a Mammoth Lakes motel and one of the channels was Showtime Extreme. Showtime Extreme apparently is a channel devoted to showing incredibly bad action movies.

UKM: Ultimate Killing Machine was an incredibly bad action movie. I'm sure it was straight to video and the only recognizable actor was Michael Madsen. I'm sure that nobody will ever see this movie.

But in trying to track down its title for my movie watching log, I saw that, per IMDb, Michael Madsen is appearing in 18 movies this year. He's not a great actor, but he's not a horrible one either. So it is kind of sad to see him taking every straight-to-video dollar he can get.
