PM Entertainment was much better at making action movies for adults rather than for children, and The Power Within is proof of that.

…wherein we are caught, an unconscionable thing.

 
AMITYVILLE PLAYHOUSE (2015)
 
In which…

…

…

…

…actually, come to think of it, nothing happens.

The sports comedy Fast Break takes a familiar premise and makes it funny and exciting.

That giant turtle movie you all saw on TV as kids and has haunted you for decades since is The Bermuda Depths. You’re welcome.

There are WTF? Films that break you in a good way: movies that expose you to new ways of thinking. Movies that broaden your perspective. Movies that give you a new appreciation of the human condition. This is not one of those. This is the opposite of one of those.

Since this is my first review of 2017, as I recover from a terrible case of writer’s block, I’ve decided to take the easy way out for this Roundtable. I’ve decided to review one of the least WTF-worthy (but still mind-boggling) movies of a director who doesn’t seem to have made any other kind of film: Sompote Sands’s Yak Wat Jaeng vs. Jumborg Ace.

(PS — my real WTF! review will be coming in the next couple of days. I’m also working on reviews to fill in the Roundtables I’ve missed.)

 

 
THE UNKNOWN (1927)

…in which an armless man who earns a living as a circus performer by throwing knives with his feet falls in love with his beautiful young assistant, who has a deep-seated phobia about men’s hands.

Why, yes—this is a Tod Browning / Lon Chaney collaboration; how did you guess?

You don’t need a medical degree to diagnose the Golan-Globus horror movie X-Ray (a.k.a. Hospital Massacre) as suffering from badmovieitis.

No discussion of crazy cinema would be complete without a look at the ninja movies of Godfrey Ho, and Ninja: American Warrior is a good example of his work.

 
 
 
 
HAUSU (1977)

…in which it takes me over 7500 words to explain that I am lost for words…

                                                  Awww… Kitty!

The sword and sorcery movie Ator The Fighting Eagle doesn’t get that far off the ground.
