NOIRMAGEDDON it! Are you getting' it? (You'd better be!)

Warning: Spoilers
Never underestimate the powers of a madman with an unbridled imagination and a camera! Tom Berdinski has done it again and. seemingly, there is no safe haven for any film genre to hide from his all-seeing lens.

This time, in NOIRMAGEDDON he's tackling the rough and tumble, bloody-fisted private eye films of days gone by. But it's not quite as simple as that. It never is in a Berdinski producioni. Of course, you have the tough, determined private dick, Mark Anvil (played very capably by Jeff Bromley), crossing paths with an insane, trench-coated dame on the run and lugging more than a few secrets closely behind. You have the usual collection of sultry noir babes whose intentions may, or may not, be honorable. Or even of this earth... Yes, of course... This is a Berdinski film. You didn't think everything was was going to be played straight up and terrestrial, did you? No, somehow Tom manages to tie in some other savory little tidbits such as alien invasions, human centipedes, giant great white sharks, pie-baking luchadores, and some juicy intestine spillage. Does it all work? Yes, it does. This is a fever dream of inspired, cross-genre lunacy that I firmly believe only the mind of Tom Berdinski could pull off.

As usual, Tom throws in his usual assortment of horror host cameos, including the lovely Marlena Midnight and Robyn Graves, the equally lovely Roxsy Tyler, the scrumptious Dr. Sigmund Zoid, and the always enchanting Count and Countess Gregula.

A winner? You betcha. You couldn't be any more sure of it if someone tattooed 'WINNER' across their fist and busted your chops with it.

I just watched Thomas Berdinki's latest upcoming release "Noirmageddon - A Mark Anvil Thriller" Now my guess was Noir (As in Film Noir is a style of movie where the hero is always getting a room at the Dirt Motel and just about everybody in it has their own personal motives with the situation and or mystery.) And Mageddon being short for "Armageddon" is where there ain't a whole lot left of the world after whatever kicks it's ass and everybody's that's on it. Adds together to make everything I just typed about. And I was right!!! I popped it in the DVD player and was treated to all of the Shlock and Cheese that I frigging live for! "Nice way to describe it..." you say? Well "HELLS YEAH!" I say.

If you know anything about Tom Berdinski's body of work you know he loves to make movies that entertain and makes his audience laugh. Everything from "The Giant Rubber Monster Movie" to "The Italian Zombie Movie parts one and two" is a complete vacation from everything that annoys you reality and "Noirmageddon - A Mark Anvil Thriller" is no exception.

Tom spared no expense in keeping it fun and making it a virtual showcase of some well known Horror Host. And it was a blast not only seeing all of them, but catching in jokes from his first three features and blatantly plugging them as well (As we were all taught by dear old Uncle Lloyd!) The movie delivered it's promised plot twist and turns being titled as Noir and brought the fire for the other half of it's title. And if that's not enough for you he had use of a sweet 1980 Corvette Stingray! Now that I've given you all of the cool features of this... Feature, get out there and enjoy watching it when Tom releases it upon an unsuspecting public!
