Troma's War (1988)
My quick rating - 5.5/10. I haven't watched or owned this one in years, so time for a refresher. The setup is a plane crashing on some remote island, and in out-of-character fashion, instead of some cheesy prop to show the plane's descent to doom, it is all done dark screen and via audio. But in typical Troma style, the cast of characters is a variety of weirdos that can overact with the best of them. Well, the island seems to be inhabited by mercenaries from all over the gl

Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
My quick rating - 8.0/10. When I saw the first Fast and Furious , I very much enjoyed it for what it was. Racing action. That was it, no plot was needed, although they put a cop in, blah blah. Well, the evolution of the Fast and Furious universe has changed dramatically. If you haven't seen the previous 5, it's ok, you will only miss out on some inside jokes and character traits. The change it took was going from street racing to pro street racers performing high-end heists

Dampyr (2022)
My quick rating - 5.3/10. I am always interested in seeing other countries' versions of classic horror themes, such as "vampires." This one looks at a modern Italian tale of a half-human and half-vampire called a Dampyr . Being set during the Balkan wars was an interesting touch to add to the war of humans vs. vampires. Unfortunately, this is a very inconsistent movie. Sequel setup? They might want to see how well this one is received. Harlan Draka, played by Wade Briggs ,

Influencer (2022)
My quick rating - 5.5/10. Influencer starts off with a promising setting and a familiar yet engaging storyline. The plot lacks novelty, but the film engages us with decent acting and great landscapes. It sets the base and gives a good kick-off on what is to come. The story revolves around Madison ( Emily Tennant ), an influencer, who goes on an adventurous trip to Thailand as a solo backpacker. She faces various experiences during her trip, among them meeting CW ( Cassandra

The Third Saturday In October (2022)
My quick rating - 4.0/10. This came along with number 5 from the same year (part of the joke, I guess, it is horror/comedy), so I may as well check it out. This movie spends entirely too long on these 4 characters, who are the local pot-heads and their way over-acted interactions with one another and the local townsfolk. On one hand, this flick does a decent job of being a throwback to the 70s in its look. The film stock looks grainy, and the background artifacts like posters

Fast X (2023)
My quick rating - 6.2/10. I am fairly sure I know what to expect. Fast X is a roaring comeback for the Fast and Furious franchise, proving that lightning can strike twice even after a letdown like F9: The Fast Saga . Producer Justin Lin 's return to the helm keeps new life flowing into the series, and with the addition of Jason Momoa as the formidable antagonist, the film reaches new heights of excitement and intensity. The movie picks up with Dom Toretto ( Vin Diesel ) an

Zom 100: Bucket List Of The Dead (2023)
My quick rating - 5.7/10. I started watching the anime of this show, and then a live-action dubbed version popped up, so I have to check it out. We get a completely different look at what to do in case of the zombie apocalypse in this flick. A far more humorous look, that is. Ok, the zombie shark is GREAT, very imaginative idea. After Akira ( Eiji Akaso ) takes on a new job where he works nearly non-stop, he finally gets a day off in the form of a zombie apocalypse. First off

Bird Box: Barcelona (2023)
My quick rating - 5.5/10. Bird Box: Barcelona had a lot to live up to after watching the suspense of the previous, but regretfully, it doesn't quite manage to live up to the intrigue of its predecessor. The title of the movie appears to be a marketing gimmick to bank on the success of the previous installment. The actual sequel attempt falls flat comparatively, failing to generate the heart-pounding suspense I felt in the first. One of the best parts of the movie, without a d

Eyes Of Dread (2023)
My quick rating - 2.0/10. So far, this flick is a real test of patience. The stripper dancing half-naked for no apparent reason is literally the only thing happening. This movie really wants to be artsy with the filters and shadows. slightly missed writing a plot, though. After anything such as dialogue or finally, someone gets stabbed, they cut right back to the porn-inspired music and this chick dancing, so unless you have NO other means to see boobs, there is no selling po

Aftermath (2014)
My quick rating - 4,6/10. Now, let me review the movie I just watched (read below for the confusion LOL). Searching for a happy ending to a tale of unimaginable disaster and horror, nine strangers find themselves holed up together in a farmhouse cellar in rural Texas. The United States has hastily become embroiled in World War 3. A young doctor named Hunter ( C.J. Thomason ) survives the nuclear attack and is thrown together by coincidence with a group of wounded and fright

Flight of the Living Dead (2007)
My quick rating - 5.4/10. This is one of those movies that is so dumb and so entertaining at the same time, you have to actually like it. For surely didn't win any awards for acting since it is downright awful. But who cares, you have zombies on a motherf&*king plane. I know, lame, but I had to do it. So what happens when a top-secret government formula for some type of disease that the military is highly interested in is being transported on an everyday airline flight? It is

Paul Dood's Deadly Lunch Break (2021)
My quick rating - 5.1/10. Sounds like a corporate daydream, so let's see what it is. Oh well, not corporate at all. I can definitely see that Tom Meeten has been checking out Michael Richards to get some inspiration for Paul Dood. This flick has some things to say about a few topics, including the individual's obsession with fame. Incorporate everyone watching Trendladder on their phones, and you know where the other dig is at. But just an everyday movie poking fun at the p

American Guinea Pig: Bloodshock (2015)
My quick rating - 4.8/10. A while back, I started compiling the 10 most disgusting movies I could find, and this one was always recommended, but I never could get my hands on it. Until now. It isn't like you watch these flix for the plot, but from what I can gather, this "doctor" is performing increasingly gruesome experiments on a couple of patients in order to extract something from them. I want you to keep in mind what I am reviewing, though. These movies are made to shoc

Extraction 2 (2023)
My quick rating - 6.9/10. I enjoyed the first one for the action, so let's see what the sequel brings. The good news is I enjoyed this one a slight bit more than the first, even. Extraction 2 is an adrenaline-fueled sequel that improves on the foundation laid down by the first film and propels us on yet another adrenaline-packed ride. If the first one was a thrill ride due to its intense action scenes, be prepared for something even more exciting this time. The movie gets off

Crimson Peak (2015)
My quick rating - 7.4/10. This was the movie for me to see on Halloween this year, that is for sure. As usual, Guillermo del Toro visually stuns the audience with every single scene. The locations that are presented are an absolute marvel. Granted, a film cannot be just a national geographic on location shoot alone, and this film delivers. The story itself is a mixture of two stories, really, one that is a ghost story and the other that is a romance/thriller. The Gothic/roma

The Wrath Of Becky (2023)
My quick rating - 5.8/10. I had no idea they were making a sequel to Becky which I saw a few years back. I gave the first one just short of a 6, so we'll see about this one. Prepare yourself for an unexpected rollercoaster of intense thrills and darkly comic moments as this film picks up where its predecessor left off, offering a heightened dose of Lulu Wilson 's captivating performance as the titular character and a deliciously amusing turn by Seann William Scott as the wi

Forgotten Experiment (2023)
My quick rating - 4.2/10. It sounded interesting, and I like to see what is going on outside the USA movie scene. Forgotten Experiment enters the realm of international cinema, offering a refreshing departure from the typical American movie scene. This film attempts to delve into the uncharted territory of abnormal phenomena and reality-bending experiences. It sounded intriguing enough, but the execution leaves much to be desired, and that kept it from hitting its potential.

Bikini Bloodbath Car Wash (2008)
My quick rating - 4.4/10. So I had to grab it because it sounds so stupid. However, I came to find out when entering it into my database that it is a sequel. Hope it isn't good and forces me to go find the first one LOL. Going to guess I'll be safe with that not happening. The acting is absolutely awful, but it does make some of these jokes actually effective. I have already laughed a few more times than I expected, both WITH and AT the participants. I am not sure why writer/

97 Minutes (2023)
My quick rating - 3.3/10. How dare they make a flick called 97 Minutes and give us a running time of 93 minutes??? That is some terrible fight choreography. 97 Minutes attempts to deliver an intense ticking-clock scenario aboard a hijacked 767 airplane facing an imminent disaster due to dwindling fuel supply, promising a gripping experience for us dumb enough to watch. Unfortunately, none of that happens thanks to the movie's glaring flaws. One of the more laughable issues pl
