To his surprise, the line came from Troy, a movie he’s tried to wipe from memory ..read more

The other day, one of our writers sat down with Mario Van Peebles to talk about his upcoming spiritual sequel to Posse, Outlaw Posse. In the pretty awesome conversation, we asked Mario about what we consider a pretty underrated movie of his, Gunmen.

It’s a tough movie to find these days, but Peebles ..read more
