THE KEEP "Hey, Buddy--You wouldn't happen to have a roll of Tums on ya, would you? I got a severe case of heartburn!" "The Keep" is a 1983 movie directed by Michael Mann and is based on a book written by F. Paul Wilson. It is a story about good vs evil vs eviler. It takes place in 1941 during WWII. The German Army comes to a small Romanian village and occupies THE KEEP, a mysterious ancient stone fortress, and they end up unleashing an evil entity that dwells within it's walls. Starring Scott Glenn, Jurgen Prochnow, Gabriel Byrne, and Ian McKellen.
The movie was both a critical and commercial failure upon it's release and author F. Paul Wilson was disappointed with the film results, and Director Michael Mann has disowned the film due to it's treatment by Paramount Pictures for having edited it down from Mann's original 3-plus hour vision into a film lasting a little over an hour-and-a-half in length. Still, it is a visually rich and atmospheric film with a nice old-fashioned Gothic Horror feel to it and a good creepy vibe. Watch it in the dark late at night for best results.The Keep (1983) Theatrical Trailer

"Drop Dead Fred" is an amusing tale about a young woman named Elizabeth Cronin (Phoebe Cates) whose imaginary friend from her childhood days suddenly makes a reappearance when she returns back home to stay with her mother after a series of unfortunate setbacks in her life. The imaginary friend, an obnoxious and annoying character nicknamed Drop Dead Fred (Rik Mayall) involves Elizabeth in all kinds of mischievious behaviour all the while as she tries to get her life back into some kind of normal order again. This very strange movie has some good laughs here and there along with some heartfelt moments that will keep you entertained if you do not mind a lot of lowbrow gags from a character that acts like a somewhat less vulgar version of Punk Rocker Johnny Rotten of Sex Pistols fame. All in all though I really enjoyed this movie and had a good time watching it. Also starring Marsha Mason, Tim Matheson, and Carrie Fisher.Drop Dead Fred (1991) Trailer

Deep Rising starring Treat Williams and Famke Janssen, is a 1998 action-packed monster thriller written and directed by Stephen Sommers. It is the story of these gruesome blood-thirsty underwater creatures that attack a cruise ship. It's kinda like Aliens on the high seas and is it ever a lot of cheesy fun. I recently discovered this movie one late night on You Tube and enjoyed it so much that I watched it a 2nd time that same week, and eventually bought the Blu-ray double-feature of it for only $5 and it is worth every penny. If you love fast-paced and funny monster flicks than definitely give this one a try. www.amazon.com/Rising-Puppet-Masters-Feature-Blu-ray/dp/B008XAT118/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364584496&sr=8-1&keywords=Deep+Rising |

Dredd He IS the Law! I have been a Judge Dredd fan for a long time now, ever since the mid-Eighties, and I can say that this movie truly does the character justice. The film captures the dangerous and crazy look and feel of the comics in so many ways from the characters that it portrays such as the Mama Clan, to the giant Mega City block towers, right down to the Judges uniforms, guns etc. They tweaked some things here and there, especially with the Lawmaster bikes that the Judges ride on, but that is understandable. And the story, while maybe not the most involving plot that you have ever seen, was still decent enough for what it does, which is to show you an average day on the streets of Mega City 1 for a Judge, which are basically the Police force in the future, only these upholders of the law have total power to judge you on the spot. They are literally a Judge, Jury, and if needed to be, Executioners.
The movie introduces the viewer to a well-known and favorite character of mine from the comic books, Judge Anderson, the psychic sidekick who over the years has helped Judge Dredd to solve many tough cases within the city. In this movie we see her on her very first day of duty as she is being trained by Judge Dredd to see if she has what it takes to become a Judge. She does.
This movie was so action-packed and riveting that it literally had me on the edge of my seat the first time that I viewed it at the theater. It really made you feel what life would be like to live in such a dystopic society. Something that I would not enjoy very much I'll tell you that. This is a bleak, dreary, and oppressive world where life is tough and unemployment and the crime rate are through the roof. The Judges can only do so much to try and keep law and order in this huge overcrowded city. And Judge Dredd is the best of them all.
I am glad to see that this movie is making waves on the home video circuit because it tanked pretty badly at the box office. I hope that it's success continues to grow and that maybe if we are lucky we can get a sequel to it made in the not-too-distant future. There are many more interesting characters from the comic book stories just waiting to make an appearance on the big screen, some that would make for very interesting villains in a future release. I am referring of course to the well-known Dark Judges, Fire, Mortis, Fear, and Death. These ghastly supernatural beings from another dimension are just dying to be seen on the big screen.

Fangtastic Fun! Spoof movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. I have loved them ever since the day that I first saw the now legendary and classic spoof movie "Airplane!". Vampires Suck carries on the tradition of the spoof movie by poking fun at the popular Twilight movies. Now, to be honest, I enjoy the Twilight films. I even took my Wife to see the latest Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn Part 2, and we both had a great time. They're fun little movies in their own right, if you don't take them too seriously.
Anywhoos...Vampires Suck is the story of Becca Crane, played wonderfully here by Jenn Proske, who is a high school teenager that meets and falls in love with a vampire that goes to her school and is also in her biology class. This vampire student is named Edward Sullen, played superbly by Matt Lanter. Now, mind you, half the fun of this movie is knowing the source material on exactly who these characters are spoofing, and all I can say is, Jenn and Matt do a great send-up job on the characters that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson portray in the Twilight Saga films.
Vampires are quickly overtaking the little town of Sporks, Washington, and Becca's dumb and clueless father, portrayed by the great Diedrich Bader, who is the Sheriff of Sporks, can't seem to get to the bottom of the mystery. Meanwhile, the mortal enemies of the vampires are the werewolves, which just so coincidentally one of them happens to be another local boy that Becca knows named Jacob, played by Christopher N. Riggi. Jacob falls madly in love with Becca, and warns her about staying away from Edward...and, well, we get a whole lot of hilarious gags based on this preposterous love triangle.
You really do have to be familar with the Twilight Saga premise in order to enjoy this spoof movie because while it's titled Vampires Suck, there's really not a whole lot of vampire spoofing in this film outside of the Twilight movies. But, for what it does poke fun at, Vampires Suck does very well. I give it two wooden stakes up.  |

Big Trouble in Little China Okay, now...Who ordered the stir-fried ass whippin'? Come and get it! Big Laughs, Big Adventure, and Big Fun! John Carpenter and Kurt Russell team up once again to bring us what just might possibly be Carpenter's best feature film ever. Big Trouble in Little China is one of those zany kind of action movies that doesn't take itself very seriously at all, and that's a good thing. Kurt Russell plays Jack Burton, a Trucker who along with his sidekick, Wang Chi, played by Dennis Dun, get involved in all kinds of weirdness in Chinatown when they take on an ancient evil sorcerer named Lo Pan (James Hong) who has abducted Chi's girlfriend to be used in a magical ritual in order to help Lo Pan attain his youthful Human form once again.
This movie has everything that you could ever hope to want to see in an action adventure movie and then some, including lots of Martial Arts fighting, sorcery and magic, monsters and mayhem, colorful sets and costumes, exciting action scenes, and comedy galore. Some of the fighting sequences are pretty amazing, especially when the "Three Storms" are present, Carter Wong as "Thunder", Peter Kwong as "Rain", and James Pax as "Lightning". These 3 villains are so cool that I wish we could have seen much more of them in the film than we did.
If you are in the mood for a great Eighties action film loaded with wild stunts, great characters, excellent special effects, and lots of laughs, then see this movie now. The Blu-ray disk is also loaded with lots of great extras too such as deleted scenes, extended scenes, behind the scenes features, and best of all, a commentary track featuring John Carpenter and Kurt Russell that is filled with lots of background information on the making of the movie and other fun facts. Big Trouble In Little China Trailer No, this isn't 'Escape From Chinatown'. If it were I'd be wearing an eyepatch, Smartass! |

Can you escape the most powerful force in the universe? Going through my movie collection recently, I found the 1979 Disney movie The Black Hole and decided to watch it. For those who may not know it, Disney currently has plans to remake The Black Hole with "Tron: Legacy" and "Oblivion" director Joseph Kosinski in charge of the project. If you watched Tron: Legacy, during the beginning of the film in young Sam Flynn's bedroom you will notice on the wall a movie poster for the original Black Hole movie. They were giving us all a sly wink, nod and glimpse of things to come.
While out on a deep space exploration mission, the USS Palomino discovers a black hole. If this discovery wasn't fantastic enough, they also discover a huge spaceship that sits precariously within reach of the gravitational forces of the black hole on it's outskirts, yet sits unaffected and motionless without disturbance. The Palomino crew decides to take a closer look at this ship that they soon find out is the missing USS Cygnus, which is another exploratory ship that was thought to be long ago lost decades earlier. The Cygnus seems to be dark and derelict but upon closer inspection, the ship is found to contain lifeforms aboard it. The crew of the Palomino docks their craft and investigates the Cygnus and soon are amazed to find that a Doctor by the name of Hans Reinhardt, played by Maximilian Schell, is still living aboard the ship, along with many robots that he has created to help keep the ship's vital functions operating. Reinhardt claims that the rest of the crew returned to Earth long ago while he stayed onboard the Cygnus to conduct studies and learn more about the black hole.
Dr. Reinhardt who seems more than a little megalomaniacal, has plans to fly directly into the black hole. The Palomino crew is shocked by this admission, but one crewmember by the name of Alex Durant, played by Anthony Perkins, wishes to accompany the Dr. on this fantastic journey.
Will Dr. Reinhardt travel into the black hole, and if so, what will he discover? For the answer to that, you will just have to watch the movie.
The Black Hole has always been a favorite movie of mine because it is a film that makes you feel like you are right there, in a fantastic situation, deep in outer space, on the brink of total destruction with no help from anyone to come and save you. You can feel the eeriness, the desperation, and fascination of what it would be like if you actually were on a vessel in deep space all alone with just a small crew of explorers in the vast unknown far reaches of outer space.
The film does have its fair share of cheesy moments here and there though, namely with the scenes involving its answer to the Star Wars movies popular droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO; this one features silly robots named V.I.N.C.E.N.T and old B.O.B., the Cygnus' maintenace robots.
And while some of the special effects may seem rather outdated by todays standards, they are still very effective at conveying feelings of loneliness and desolation when it comes to the black hole itself, as the Cygnus floats precariously on its outer fringes.
You've also gotta admire the awesome and menacing threat of Dr. Reinhardt's lead security robot, the very intimidating Maximillian--probably the most scariest robot ever put to celluloid, and certainly one of the most memorable.
The Black Hole is a movie that I find myself going back to time and time again, and I look forward to seeing what the upcoming remake has in store for us when it is finally released by Disney. |

These movies really BITE! What could possibly be more horrifying than to be devoured alive by vicious piranha? Not much, except maybe being devoured alive by a shark, or cannibals, or zombies maybe? Piranhas devour people alive in this movie and that's the bottom line, folks...sexy Spring Break people to be more precise. And Matt Hooper from Jaws fame as well. You read that right, Richard Dreyfuss reprises his role as Matt Hooper from Jaws--okay, it's really a character named Matthew Boyd, but he's still pretty much dressed, acts and looks exactly like Matt Hooper from the original Jaws movie and he soon becomes fish food in the opening scenes of this very film.
If you have a queasy stomach that is easily upset by gross scenes of piranha-chomped human beings, then by all means avoid this movie at all costs. But otherwise, if you like an over-the-top monster flick that is loaded with gratuitous amounts of gore, nudity, and just plain silly and tasteless scenes of lowbrow entertainment, then this is the perfect movie for you.
While fishing in Lake Victoria, Arizona, Matt Boyd suddenly finds himself being sucked into the water by an enormous whirlpool that is caused by an earthquake tremor which cracks open the bottom of the lake floor bed and unleashes a horde of prehistoric bloodthirsty killer piranha that proceed to munch on him like he was the last meal on Earth. Soon the savage fish are free to wreak havoc on a group of unsuspecting young swimmers at a nearby Spring Break get together and that is when all hell really breaks loose.
Starring Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown from Back to the Future, I meant to say Carl Goodman, but still basically playing another version of Doc Brown. Richard Dreyfuss as Matt Boyd, Ving Rhames as Deputy Fallon, Jerry O'Connell as dirtbag pornographer Derrick Jones, and believe it or not, Elisabeth Shue as Sheriff Julie Forester! That's two actors from the BTTF movies!
Am looking forward to seeing the upcoming sequel which is supposed to take place at a waterpark of all places?! And stars Ving Rhames, Christopher Lloyd, Gary Bussey, and a special cameo appearance by...wait for it...The Hoff himself, David Hasselhoff!  This movie is so over-the-top cheesy and gawdawful ridiculous that it will go down in movie history as one of the best worst movies ever made; yet, it's still very, very entertaining. Just thinking about it now makes me chuckle at some of the crazy things that they did in this wacky movie. I mean, it's about prehistoric piranha invading an adult-themed waterpark for crying out loud! You can't get much more zanier than that for a movie premise.
If you are looking for a heart-pounding scary thriller about killer fish than look elsewhere because this sequel is definitely not for you. The first movie wasn't really all that terrifying either, it had it's moments, but it made up for it all with some pretty intense scenes of piranha carnage. This one is just pure piranha cornage.
Christopher Lloyd, Ving Rhames, and Paul Scheer all reprise their roles from the first one, and Gary Busey, and David Hasselhoff join the cast to help add a new level of cheesiness to this outing, especially David Hasselhoff who hams it up royally and had me laughing out loud more than a few times with his antics.
The 3D was not the best that I have ever seen, but it wasn't bad. It had some good pop-out effects here and there, but not a whole lot of depth to a lot of it. Some scenes looked better in 3D than others. But I'm still glad that I got this 3-disc set for my collection.
The special effects weren't bad either, although nothing in this movie compares to the amazingly gross and gory stuff that Greg Nicotero and his team came up with for the first movie. But this one has some passable effects here and there. And the CGI was very well-done. The piranha looked pretty good, both the CGI and puppet practical effects ones, I thought.
If you are looking for a good time with a wild and wet and crazy movie that does not take itself seriously whatsoever than give this movie a try for some good cheap laughs and thrills. |

Just in time for Earth Day, it's "Bio-Dome" starring Stephen Baldwin and Pauly Shore. In the spirit of such movies as "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure", and "Dude, Where's My Car?" comes this very stupid yet somewhat entertaining little movie about two stoner dudes who mistake a Bio-Dome for a mall while they are searching for a restroom to take a whiz in, and then the two are subsequently locked inside of the Bio-Dome as part of a one-year project involving 5 scientists on a major scientific experiment concerning the environment. Well, you can pretty much guess what happens next...total chaos!
Bio-Dome is considered to be one of the worst films ever made by many critics, so it is a truly fitting addition to this forum. Watch it just to see if you can make it all the way to the end credits, and also so that you can brag to all of your friends that you survived the Bio-Dome!

Forbidden World aka Mutant In Space No One Can Hear You Giggle A long time ago in a galaxy not very far away, I first saw this movie, Forbidden World aka Mutant. Has it been 30 years already? Back in the year 1982 I used to visit this little movie theater near where I worked every friday evening without fail. They used to run two features back to back for the price of one, and I saw a lot of great movies in those days. Just to name a few that you might have heard about; Escape From New York, The Howling, Mother's Day, Motel Hell, Battle Beyond the Stars, Ice Pirates, John Carpenter's The Thing, Tron...Ah, those were fun times, and that was the place and year that I first saw Forbidden World.
This here strange little movie was Roger Corman's answer to the very popular film "Alien", and what a piece of work it is! I don't know why I like this movie so much, but I do? I mean, it's so cheap that it reuses old spaceship battle footage from Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars movie, has spray-painted egg cartons and styrofoam fast food restaurant containers glued to the walls everywhere; it features a lumbering and slow bulky mutant creature that couldn't outrun the Mummy or Frankenstein if it's life depended on it; the mad scientist of the film never wears a protective face mask or rubber gloves when doing bloody genetic experiments; and in one scene, one of the actresses are actually using a glow stick to push buttons on a keypad console! I guess they did that to make it seem more futuristic? But now it's just laughable. And let's not forget the scene where the wall is dressed up with painted packaging bubble wrap! But still, for some odd reason, I just really enjoy this movie. In fact, all the bad things that I have just described about it, and believe me, there is much more than this to poke fun at in this movie, make it all the more enjoyable to me. It is one of those "so bad it's good" kind of films that I find myself watching a lot lately.
Despite all of its shortcomings and low budget zaniness, the movie still conveys a pretty good sense of dread, fear and eeriness in certain spots, particularly due to its synthesized electronic musical score, which really helps to creep you out at just the right spots and maximize the thrills. Watch it in the dark while alone late at night for maximum effect to see just what I mean.
Forbidden World is a great old-fashioned low budget exploitation film that is loaded with many unintentional laughs and cheap thrills, and lots of nudity. I would have given it a 5 star rating but the movie is just way too short. It really needs to have a good 15 or 20 more minutes of footage added to it. But for what it does give you, it gives you quite a lot in return in entertainment value. Watch it here for free, but I guarantee you will want to own a copy of this one for yourself after seeing it... This is a standard issue space station uniform in a Roger Corman flick. Also, check out those fast food restaurant trays glued to the walls to give it that "Futuristic" look. You can buy it Here... |

It's not so good to be this King
I watched this one the other night and all I can say is, wow, what kind of monkey business is this?! Everybody out there has seen the 1976 remake directed by John Guillermin and produced by Dino De Laurentiis and starring Jeff Bridges, right? Well if you haven't you should. It is a really fun movie. King Kong Lives is brought to us by the same team and the 2nd time's definitely not the charm.
The story; it is now 10 years later after the events of the first film and...SPOILER ALERT! The big ape falls to his death from the top of the World Trade Center. Enter our new protagonist Linda Hamilton of the Terminator movies fame who plays the role of a scientist determined to save Kong's life, who is being kept alive on life support at an undisclosed location.
How's that for a pretty bad story idea, eh? But it was a good kind of bad. The kind of bad that makes for a good viewing experience when you're just looking for some unintentional laughs. So anyway, the scientists successfully transplant an artificial heart into Kong thus restoring him to his former glory. Meanwhile, an adventurer goes off to Kong Island and captures a big female Kong and brings her back to the States, and that is when the fun really begins.
I mean, wow, this story idea was just so awful! How did it even make it to production, I wonder? What were they thinking?
I have to admit though, the special effects were pretty darned good for the time period. I've seen a lot of Godzilla, Gamera and other giant monster flicks and the special effects, sets, and creature designs are pretty top-notch here.
So, If you want to laugh your ass off and see one of the best bad movies that I have ever seen then you have just got to see King Kong Lives. They say that it cost 18 million to make and only grossed 4.7 million. That is not so good. It currently has a 0% rating over on the Rotten Tomatoes movie site based on 9 reviews. With that kind of rating, how could you not want to watch it?
 "Hey, guys, check it out. It's a review written about our movie! Maybe we'll finally get some recognition for all of our hard work? Oh, wait, forget it. It's only a World's Worst Discussion Forum...Ever review. Nobody's ever going to read it anyway. Aw hell." "I'm the King of Kong, there is none higher. Sucker MC's should call me sire. To burn my kingdom, you must use fire, and I won't stop Kongin' till I retire!" |

Book 'Em, Robo! Robocop is without a doubt one of the top best Sci-Fi Action movies ever made. I can watch it over and over again and it just never fails to entertain me each and every time I see it.
Peter Weller stars as Police Officer Alex Murphy, a Cop on a beat just trying to do his job and be the best law enforcer that he can be, who while in the line of duty is brutally gunned down by a gang of lowlife thugs. But that's only the beginning of this story, my friends. Scientists take what remains of Murphy and rebuild him into Robocop, a lethal law-enforcing cyborg that is programmed with the noble Prime Directives to serve the public trust, protect the innocent, and uphold the law. But somewhere deep down inside those remaining bits of human tissue, Alex Murphy/Robocop still retains some troubling memories of his past life, his interactions with family and loved ones, and the traumatic events which led to his demise.
Despite all of that, Robocop becomes the new Hero of old Detroit as he single-handedly takes down the bad guys and starts cleaning up the corrupt city streets. But, he has significant opposition in the way of not only the petty street criminals and crime lords, but also in the form of Richard Jones, the Vice President of OCP (Omni Consumer Products), a corporation which owns and runs the Detroit Police Force, and also helped design and produce the Robocop project. It turns out that Richard Jones initially had big plans to manufacture and sell Urban Robot Pacification units labelled ED-209, an Enforcement Droid built for both patrolling city streets and also to be useful in dangerous combat missions for the military. But a test run of ED-209 for the President of OCP fails miserably, and so it is that the Robocop project goes through successfully into operation instead.
Richard Jones still has a strong vested interest in the ED-209 project though, and he also has connections with the criminal underworld of old Detroit, and so he decides to take out Robocop in the hopes of getting his ED-209 program back on track at OCP.
Filled with biting social satire, action sequences aplenty, touching drama scenes, some pretty cool old-school stop-motion animation scenes (remember the days before CGI?), and even some helpful guiding tips to children from Robocop himself, "Stay out of Trouble.", Haha! Well, this movie's just got it all. What are you waiting for? Just rent it already!  "Oh Geez, that review was just horrible. And it's not over yet, I can see more below! Circuits overloading!!!! BZZzzZzZZzZT!!!!" Twice the action. Twice the Carnage. Twice the Robos! Robocop 2 is one of those rare sequels that is just as good, if not better than the original. Now, I know that a lot of folks out there just might, and do disagree, but, still there's no denying that this movie Rocks!
The great Peter Weller returns once again to portray Robocop, Detroit's heroic cybernetic law enforcer of the future who never goes on strike, and always upholds the law.
A new addictive drug called Nuke is making waves on the streets of old Detroit and is causing all kinds of problems for it's citizens. On top of that, the Detroit Police Force, which is contracted out to the greedy and unethical corporation known as OCP [Omni Consumer Products], are on strike as well. Only a bare few brave police officers and Robocop dare to even go out and face the wild and out-of-control anarchy that is going on in the city streets.
The creator and seller of the drug Nuke, is a crazed, megalomaniacal sociopath named Cain who has delusions of grandeur and believes himself to be a saviour to all the poor souls of Detroit, and he also believes that his drug Nuke is the key to paradise. But his drug is nothing more than a cheap addictive substance that even he himself becomes strung out and dependent Upon. It's up to Robocop to try and save the day.
OCP is about to forclose on it's business dealings with old Detroit, and starts to confiscate property in the hopes of capitalizing on it's investments there and then rebuild it into the new Delta City and reap all that it can from it's dirty dealings. The resulting rise in violence on the streets creates the need for more Robocops and so phase 2 of the OCP Robocop project goes into production, only to meet certain failure. It seems that not many people have the desire to be rebuilt as a cybernetic law enforcer, and so the test units all self-destruct. So OCP decides to put the brain of a criminal sociopath with delusions of grandeur, who they hope will relish the ability of having total power and immortality (guess who), into their new Robocop model 2.0! Which of course causes all sorts of havoc and problems for Detroit, OCP, and the original Robocop aka Alex Murphy himself.
Filled with much more biting social satire and wit than the first installment, Robocop 2 also delivers tons of excessive action, even more great old-school stop-animation thrills, some thought-provoking drama, and over-the-top R-rated carnage galore. Don't miss it.  Prime Directives: 1. Serve the public trust.
2. Protect the innocent.
3. Uphold the law.
4. Avoid The World's Worst Discussion Forum...Ever. |

I recently watched Pauly Shore's "In the Army Now" and laughed my butt off. It is the story about 2 slackers (Hmmmm, where have we seen this done before?) who join the army and get themselves into all kinds of silly situations. That's it! What more do you want from a Pauly Shore movie anyway? Starring Pauly Shore, Andy Dick, David Alan Grier, Lori Petty, and Esai Morales. If you're looking for a good lighthearted comedy to have a few laughs with, watch this one now before You Tube takes it down. In the Army Now

Okay, so, I tried to watch this movie last night titled "Cast Away" starring Tom Shanks or Tom Skanks or something like that. It's the story about a guy who becomes stranded on a desert island. That's it. He befriends a volleyball and names it Wilson. How original is that? I guess it could have been worse, he could have just named it Ball.
Anyway, I only watched this movie to see Ginger and Mary Ann, but those two were nowhere to be seen? Neither was that shithead Gilligan. What the hell kind of movie is this? I couldn't tell you if the guy ever made it off the island cuz I fell asleep before it ended. I should've just watched Gilligan's Island reruns instead. Eh.

FDR: American Badass! President Franklin D. Roosevelt vs Nazi Werewolves?! That's what you will see in this not so accurate comedic retelling of FDR's rise to the presidency in "FDR: American Badass!" starring Barry Bostwick as President Roosevelt, with a special appearance by Kevin Sorbo of Hercules fame as Abraham Lincoln. This zany low budget movie was just so completely off-the-wall and outrageous, and totally hysterical, and I enjoyed every dumb minute of it. I love crazy bad flicks like this one and found myself giggling and laughing throughout from beginning to end. If you enjoy a good rude, crude and lewd over-the-top comedy then do not pass this one up!Kid Rock - American Badass |

Frankenstein's Army
If you are in the mood for a "Found Footage" freakshow then look no further because Frankenstein's Army is here!
In this nightmarish creepy little flick set during WWII, a Russian battalion of soldiers on a mission behind enemy lines in Germany stumble upon a workshop of unimaginable horrors and find themselves having to fight for their lives against a gruesome onslaught of bizarre creatures comprised of part man and part machine. As the soldiers try to find out the secret of who could be behind these abominable creations from hell they soon discover more than they ever bargained for.
Frankenstein's Army is one seriously sick, demented, movie that will have you jumping out of your chair one minute and nervously giggling the next. Featuring great gorey practical "real" effects, no CGI here, impressive sets and locations, and a bevy of bizarre monsters. This movie will take you on a rollercoaster ride through madness and beyond.
Warning: If shaky camera footage makes you queasy then stay far away from this movie. |

Cheese-a-Rama!! This movie is not for everyone, mind you, but if you like a really good/bad schlocky B film to space out to from time to time, a movie that is so overly loaded with gross over-the-top lowbrow juvenile humor and gags, a film so disgustingly funny that it will make you cringe in shame and horror for just having watched it, then look no further than this comedy satire anthology of short films that pay homage to those old cheesy B horror movies from the 50's, 60's and 70's. And with wacky titles such as WADZILLA, The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, Zom-B-Movie, and I was a Teenage WereBear, well, you just know that it's got to be so bad that it is oh so good.
I hope that they make a sequel to it sometime very soon. Chillerama - OFFICIAL TRAILER |

Watched this pretty good Sci Fi movie yesterday on Netflix titled "Chappie" about a police robot that has been reprogrammed and given sentience through a special program developed by the robot's designer. It was a fun, wild and crazy Sci Fi action adventure movie that stars Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver and if you like these kinds of flicks then definitely give this one a viewing sometime. While watching it I noticed a couple in it that looked really familiar to me when it suddenly dawned on me, "Hey! That's Yolandi and Ninja from the band 'Die Antwoord!'" Anywhooo, it's a must-watch movie for robot fans like me, so check it out.DIE ANTWOORD - BABY'S ON FIRE

Aw, Crap! I have really got to fix this thread soon. A lot of the links and images have been deleted since I first posted them.
Oh, well... Maybe I will get AROUND to it tomorrow?
Until then, if you have any reviews of movies that you have seen recently then let us know what you thought about them and post them here.

Hey, guys and gals... If you like Superhero movies as much as I do, then check out "Thor: Ragnarok"! I finally watched it since it's been released on Blu-ray and DVD and I have already watched it a few times now and all that I can say is... It's Awesome! This movie is so colorful, witty, and action-packed! Seriously, it is the closest thing to a live-action comic book that you will ever see. It is now one of my favorite Marvel movies of all-time. Plus, the soundtrack was pretty Rockin'. Featuring Led Zeppelin, and Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO fame, among others. Check it out sometime!Thor: Ragnarok Teaser Trailer [HD] Thor Ragnarok | End Credits | Grandmaster Jam Session (Mark Mothersbaugh)
