Breathe (2024)
My quick rating - 3.5/10. In the not-too-distant future, where the air supply is low, a mother and daughter must fend off two strangers seeking an oxygenated hideaway. Breathe sounds like it has a solid premise for a sci-fi thriller, right? Well…don’t hold your breath. I’m always game for a new sci-fi flick, and the cast for Breathe definitely caught my attention. Unfortunately, that’s about where the positives end. Writer Doug Simon somehow managed to script an entire movi

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.

Lola (2022)
My quick rating - 5.9/10. The quick synopsis caught my attention. The flick centers on the sisters as they initially use the machine to discover music from the future and place bets, before realizing it will best be used to help fight the Nazis. But when the sisters clash, the consequences are catastrophic. This has to be the first found footage film I have seen where the recordings are from the 1930s-1940s. The sisters played by Stefanie Martini and Emma Appleton invent th

Omega Doom (1996)
My quick rating - 3.9/10. I have always been a fan of Rutger Hauer , but I don't believe I have ever seen this one. I see that Albert Pyun directed this one, whom I have been a fan of ever since the criminally underrated Nemesis . Granted, he loves to churn out STV mediocre stuff often, but he still has a style that I cannot put my finger on. Unique in some way and always focused on the whole cyborg/robot thing. This time his apocalyptic world consists of only the androids r

The Wandering Earth II (2022)
My quick rating - 7.4/10. I really enjoyed the first one ( REVIEW ), so I am looking forward to this sequel (which is a prequel). Another event length flick at 173 minutes, so plan accordingly. Only a half hour in, and I can say the visual effects are top-notch. This attack scene, to start off with, looked absolutely epic. I think I am going to rewatch the first after this one to really get a grasp of how they link, since this is an astonishingly monumental plan they are par

Robotica Destructiva (2023)
My quick rating - 3.8/10. I seemed to get roped into these every time. They know that by advertising Lloyd Kaufman , I'll check it out. Sam Gaffin has definitely created a niche market for these flix. Part animated, part live action, and so creatively done. I really wish he would set out on an actual plot with these and maybe put a bit of work into the story instead of trying to recreate 50s sci-fi silliness. You may have read my review here of a previous effort I saw, whic

Mrs. Davis: Season 1 (2023)
My quick rating - 7.5/10. Sister Simone ( Betty Gilpin ) partners with her ex-boyfriend Wiley ( Jake McDorman ) on a globe-spanning journey to destroy Mrs. Davis, a powerful artificial intelligence. This show is a tough one to explain. It has a bit of everything going for it. The most basic explanation I can give is Jesus vs A.I. The whole show is completely bonkers, and it was entertaining right from the start. They really had no idea how to subtly just go into anything here

Grand Tour: Disaster In Time (1991)
My quick rating - 6.5/10. This one popped on Radarr, and I cannot for the life of me place it, which I should be able to since this was at the time I was working at West Coast Video. I do like how it mentions "from the director of Pitch Black , " David Twohy , considering that movie came out nearly a decade after this LOL. I am surprised I have never heard of this movie. Quite good for the time. It didn't need flashy effects to tell a solid time travel story. Nice to see Jeff

The Tomorrow Job (2023)
My quick rating - 4.0/10. It looks like a low-budget sci-fi flick that is going to rely on the story as opposed to fancy effects to entertain us. Desperate editing cannot hide the awful effects and stunts they are trying to play off as happening. Some of the worst fight scenes I have also ever seen. Putting aside the obvious budget restraints and bad decisions, they did come up with a good concept. Director Bruce Wemple presents a highly conceptual take on how his idea of ti

Swamp Thing (1982)
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

Quartz Vein (2021)
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
