All wet

The Water BabiesYou can’t judge a book by its cover, but this image from the DVD of The Water Babies shows you can judge a movie by its box art. Still, I watched the whole bland enterprise.

Talk about a flatfooted adventure…

Future CopIf you remember how technology, the fantastic, and science fiction were, for the most part, depicted on American television in the mid-1970s, the feature length pilot movie for the short lived TV series Future Cop will be pretty much free of surprise and interest for you.

A huge cinematic car wreck you CAN take your eyes off of

Crash!Despite its title and poster art, Crash! is actually a horror movie. But despite being a horror movie, there is very little here that will catch the interest of horror aficionados.

Cinematic flotsam and jetsam

Women should stay at home… in order to kick butt!

B-Fest Roundup, 2023

It’s been a long time since I did one of these, hasn’t it?

 

Big Man Japan (2007), in which a Japanese TV comic asks, “What if it really sucked to be Ultraman?”…

Bloodrayne (2005), in which Uwe Boll does all the same crap he usually did in his heyday, but it brings me no pleasure this time…

The Boy Who Cried Werewolf (1973), in which Nathan Juran just isn’t cut out for the 70’s…

The Children (1980), in which Three Mile Island could have been worse…

and…

Thrilling Bloody Sword (1981), in which a bunch of Taiwanese guys raid the entire corpus of Western (or West of them, at any rate) fantasy adventure literature for source material, and make the strangest sword-and-sorcery flick I’ve seen in ages.

 

I’ve also got another newly rebuilt review:

 

The Phantom of the Opera (1943), in which I’m able at last to explain why it sucks, instead of just how.

 

 

 El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.

The future has never been so familiar and predictable

AbsolonIf you have seen just one cut-rate dystopian future movie, Absolon will not be the least bit original or surprising to you.

Biggs mistake

Wedding DazeIf you have ever wondered how and why actor Jason Biggs has mostly slipped out of the Hollywood spotlight, well, efforts like Wedding Daze certainly didn’t help his career.

It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good

CycloneIt seems that director Fred Olen Ray reserved almost all of his time, budget, and resources for Cyclone towards rounding up an eclectic lineup of notable B movie actors, since there’s practically nothing else of interest in the movie.
