My quick rating - 5.1/10. I’ve always been a fan of City of the Living Dead  (aka Gates of Hell), so it’s no surprise that Nightmare City  (aka City of the Walking Dead) ended up on my radar, especially given how often the two are compared. On the surface of things, of course, this appears to be simply another gloriously bonkers zombie flick from that great nation of Italy. An airplane is irradiated en route, lands for reasons that are unclear, and out come the bloodthirsty u

My quick rating - 4.9/10. This film explores the dark but rather eerie aspect that involves two adopted brothers, Tin and Tina, who look rather strangely dark and are raised in an ultra-Catholic manner, making them literally interpret the Holy Bible. Though the film was indeed very engrossing because of its unique storyline and dark environment, it can, however, be deficient in a number of key areas, ultimately giving the viewer a rather mixed bag. First, the fact that the fi

My quick rating - 6.8/10. I was a tremendous young fan of Mork & Mindy growing up, so I am interested in this story. Chris Diamantopoulos does a very nice job playing an extremely complex character in Robin Williams . When it started, I was quite leery of knowing this wasn't going to be just stock footage and loads of interviews in a documentary, but instead a biopic telling a comedic tale of drama about the show's inception and how it was made. Being somewhat picky, I didn

My quick rating - 3.8/10. These keep popping up on Radarr, the latest being number 7, and they have decent ratings on IMDB . I happen to have this one already, so I am going to find out just what it is. It appears we have another "ghost hunter" flick, and this guy, Turner Clay , thinks he is FAR more popular than he is. I can see this is the mockumentary type with a made-up story, which he has a good handle on, creating a believable-looking flick. I know one thing: I'll at le

My quick rating - 7.6/10. The Covenant seems to be a very realistic war flick that drops us in the middle of the very unpleasant experience that is war. This particular war is raging in the country of Afghanistan. This film is directed by Guy Ritchie , which seems like an unusual choice, given the fact that he usually deals with fast-paced, highly action-packed films that involve gangsters. It follows Ahmed, a local interpreter played by Dar Salim , and U.S. Army Sergeant Jo

My quick rating - 3.3/10. Call it morbid curiosity. Oh, wow, these effects are horrible. Do these people know standing across the street from a tornado isn't exactly considered a safe distance? This flick is already insanely laughable, so I really hope they weren't shooting for a serious flick. A sightseeing group, along with a scientist, goes to check out a tornado that seems to just hang out in one place. Then one guy flies his drone into it and supposedly alters the size o

My quick rating - 6.4/10. The game development process. What goes into it? What are the stresses that one may endure? This documentary takes a fairly in-depth look at the lives of 3 particular games being developed, and the personal lives of those creating them (Fez, Super Meat Boy, and Braid). Focusing more on the positive and negative aspects of how the process affects the people involved is what draws you in. There is no acting, action, etc., just the real-life drama that

My quick rating - 3.2/10. We have another anthology flick of sorts. Paula Brasca is a late-night radio DJ with a program where people call to tell her real horror stories, but she keeps getting nagged by an obsessed fan. While the film might have had a very interesting premise, it failed in terms of delivering actual scares, and I found myself begging for more. The film centers around Candy, played by Brasca , a charismatic radio host who hosts a popular late-night show wher

My quick rating - 5.5/10. I laughed on and off, nothing consistent. She seems to try way too hard to be edgy. She also says "Umm.." a lot, which is distracting when it slows down the momentum of her jokes. But material-wise wise she has some good stuff that is a more adult audience watch for a quick half hour of laughs. Arguello couples her larger-than-life stage presence with her brutally honest take on post-pandemic hook-ups and why broke men are better in bed, an explorat
