My quick rating - 6.9/10. If you are a fan of quality camera work, editing, and an array of interesting characters, this one will do well for you. In a strange film noir mix with modern times (which sometimes works and other times just seems out of place), a couple, one who conveniently is a cop, are attempting to sell a house where a brutal massacre occurs. Jessica Lowndes plays a real estate agent who is conveniently married to Joe Anderson as they start to realize that thi

My quick rating - 6.4/10. This one gets some 4K treatment from me. And it definitely deserved it since the effects in this are so colorful at times and very vivid. The CGI artists deserve all kinds of respect here. But there is a lot more to a flick than just the eye candy, and that is where I am hit and miss with this one. The story itself doesn't lend itself to any part of the MCU. Let me explain, it really doesn't further the story they are working on, and it also doesn't

My quick rating - 4.1/10. This one does a great deal to look like a 70s/'80s flick. Shot with a grainy look and a pan and scan aspect ratio gives that vibe completely. Everything so far just screams out quality filmmaking, the camera work, the sounds, and the scenery, but it is missing one key component: the story. The first words out of my mouth when the end credits just started were, "Pretentious nonsense." Nice experimental film, but quite pointless as a movie. I really wa

My quick rating - 2.7/10. I watched the FIRST one a year and a half ago and wasn't impressed, so I figured I'd better check out the sequel since I am a glutton for punishment. YAWN. This crew does have the mockumentary style nailed, making that portion of it nice and believable. However, found footage was DOA, and your idol Blair Witch Project , always sucked in the first place. So these attempts, still trying to use the "no money, no problem" approach, are pointless. I did

My quick rating - 5.2/10. The poster got me. This girl has to have a new level of stupidity in trying to get away with something. McKaley Miller plays the high school girl who invites herself to a heaven and hell party with an ulterior motive. But she seems to stumble across something that is far more sinister than her attempt to get a letter of recommendation from some rich kid. At the beginning, we are informed of a girl who has gone missing at school. This comes into play

My quick rating - 3.9/10. This is a 75-minute flick I know nothing about. Seems a woman ( Jocelyn Saenz ) wakes up with blood on her and realizes that her brother is dead. She has no recollection of what happened the night before and calls her buddy, Billy ( Mark Simich ), to come and get her. Apparently, blacking out from too much drinking isn't unheard of with this woman. In attempting to flee the scene, she realizes she doesn't have her medication for her bipolar disorde

My quick rating - 5.1/10. Ok, let me explain, first I saw Denise Richards and Paul Walker in a flick I have never heard of. Then I notice an "unrated" GORE version. OMG, that is a young Paul Walker with the exact same voice. We have one of those "testicular stand-offs"; this is starting off great. The humor in this is very stupid yet still entertaining in a weird way. I suppose a bit of the gore portion is this brain surgery with a jigsaw LOL. What a bizarre flick, some ma

My quick rating - 5.2/10. This is another one I remember watching on the Showtime box before cable was a thing. There is one thing that caught my eye this time around that I didn't care about when I was 9 years old, written/directed by Wes Craven !!! You would think after hooking Adrienne Barbeau to play the damsel in distress, they would've thrown a bit more money at the budget. I still enjoyed it for what it was worth. A campy superhero flick that most people may not reali

My quick rating - 6.5/10. Work finally popped up, so stand-up it is. This was another solid set from Jefferies , which always seems pretty consistent and amusing for an adult crowd. He does, however, have an infatuation with my least favorite word out there, but beyond that, he delivers funny stuff. This one is a Netflix exclusive.

My quick rating - 4.3/10. One of these two on this road trip cannot die quickly enough in this flick. Such an irritating character, which means he is playing his role well. Strangely better than I thought it would turn out, but still nothing worth the size or the time to watch. The flick is just a mish-mosh of far better flicks, and even with the outline from the others, they still find a way to let you down. The whole Duel meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a simple mix to f

My quick rating - 3.3/10. Right now, it says 5.6/10 from me, which is a wild difference from what IMDB says, and I don't remember seeing this at all. I suspect I might have mixed up movies, so we'll see. It does have a gritty look to it, which helps the atmosphere of being isolated. The sound quality is very suspect, though. There is no way that was the flick I gave a 5.6/10. It is also better than the 2.8 it currently has on IMDB . Ok, aside from arguing with myself, this fl

My quick rating - 3.0/10. "A prospector in the year 2047 must rescue a girl enslaved by a mutant race of gold-injecting vampires." That caught my attention for potential amusement. It is a prime example of how a catchy tagline can be used to deceive people into watching a terrible movie . And the initial monster I saw was amusing, although budget constraints aren't always funny. The monsters were not scary at all, and looked more like something from an elementary school play

My quick rating 1.7/10. Sometimes, just the title of a movie alone should clue you in to how bad it is going to be. In this case, it lured me in to see just how bad it would be. Yes, I am a glutton for bad movie punishment. Yes, occasionally B-budget flicks will amuse, gore out, and might have a shining star in the making, but guess what, this movie has none of these things. And don't let the name Joe Estevez fool you. He must've lost a night of poker to owe someone this fav

My quick rating - 4.0/10. Ok, this and its sequel popped up on Radarr, and it is under "horror," so I absolutely had to get it by title alone. Yes, I do actually screen what I add to the library, I swear. It also helps that it is 64 minutes long. OK, I am just saying this. WHO in the hell shaves their balls with a STRAIGHT RAZOR? As soon as this one got going with an opening scene showing toxic waste dumped into a lake, I said to myself, TROMA . And then I saw one victim sitt

My quick rating - 7.9/10. Time to get in the last nominee for #Oscars2023 since it wasn't released until after the awards show. I was going to wait for the 3-D version to be released, but I am impatient. This one is a long and beautiful flick telling the story of "whatever humans want, they just colonize and take." It is good to see James Cameron use his incredible ability to portray a sinking ship again so dramatically. Seems as though buying, or what it really is, owning a

My quick rating - 5.7/10. I recently enjoyed the first one ( review ), and now that the sequel is out, there is no reason not to hit it. It seems after the events of the first, the team of Aniston and Sandler has taken up detective work full-time. And following in their same level of aptitude, they are in way over their heads in doing so. Still bumbling along trying to make ends meet, they get an unexpected invite to their buddy The Maharajah's wedding (returning Adeel Akh

My quick rating - 4.8/10. I just got the sequel to this, and I haven't seen the first one, but when I see a Troma logo on the front, I know it is right up my alley. There is always a difference between MADE by Troma and distributed by Troma , and this one is the latter. So it is already doing its best to imitate, starting with the quirky characters and immediate killing. We have 5 girls having a sleepover while the parents are away for the weekend. For no good reason, they

My quick rating - 6.8/10. Ok, slightly behind (I kind of forgot to watch this), but excuses aside, I enjoyed this movie. EDIT: I was even behind on reviews back then LOL . Yes, I am a comic geek, so maybe a tad biased, although admittedly I did not read "Thor," so the rating is on movie merits alone. The movie follows the life of a "G-d" in the form of Thor( Chris Hemsworth ), who is the god of thunder. He is raised in Asgard to become the heir to the throne in a pseudo-Greek

My quick rating - 6.2/10. Even though I'm more of a Marvel guy, it's time to check this one out. The flick is an entertaining and action-packed sequel, building on the success of the first film. The movie takes us on a wild ride as we follow the adventures of Billy Batson in being Shazam and trying to balance his superhero life with his normal teenage existence. And the casting was also one of its strong features. Zachary Levi is perfectly cast as the lovable, goofy superh
