There is a definite pleasing nostalgic feeling to Where Time Began (a.k.a. THE FABULOUS JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH) at times, but it won’t be enough for many viewers to completely carry the movie in this day and age.Sep 28
Long-delayed new reviews at 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting:
Effects (1979), in which most of the people making a cheap horror movie that’s really a snuff film think they’re in on the con, but nobody’s in on the whole con…
Halloween II (2009), in which Rob Zombie brings the saga of Michael Myers to an ending that not even an Akkad can walk back…
Nope (2022), in which the unidentified flying object is more importantly a misidentified flying object…
The Northman (2022), in which Hamlet doesn’t give a crap what’s nobler in the mind…
She-Wolf of London (1946), in which the second cycle of Universal Horror makes one last orbit around the drain before plunging in…
Terror Train (1980), or Murder on the Disorient Express…
and…
X (2022), in which you don’t have to bring a chainsaw for a Texas Massacre.
El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.
Those Koreans keep knocking them out of the park, and their monster movie The Host is one good example of this.

John Hughes started his Hollywood movie career with National Lampoon’s Class Reunion… and almost ended it at the same time.
The action is plentiful and hard-hitting in Scarred City, which alone makes the movie well worth a look.
The 1988 horror movie Waxwork is pretty much a waxy build-up to… not much. (However… rest in peace, David Warner.)
Completely lost for 50 years before being unearthed, Rat Fink is much more sleazy, nasty, and unintentionally hilarious than you can imagine. It’s not drive-in gold – it’s platinum!Jul 10
Canada produced a whole bunch of painfully unfunny sex comedies in the VHS era, Loose Screws being just one egregious example.
Perhaps appearing in substandard movies like Black Moon Rising before his superstardom helped make Tommy Lee Jones the cranky and hostile person that has been reported repeatedly.
