Flashback: Worst Movies Ever – Alien vs. Predator
Posted in Action, Flashback, Horror, Reader's Choice, tagged Alien vs. Predator, Aliens, help!, OMGWTF, Predators on December 19, 2008 | 11 Comments »
Paging Paul W.S. Anderson for a shellacking…
Gimme a break. Look, I don’t expect any sort of greatness from Alien vs. Predator. It’s popcorn entertainment and money grubbery at it’s finest, sure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a few minutes of cheap thrills from it. Unless…of course, you’re assuming someone with an attention span [...]
Flashback: May
Posted in Flashback, Horror, Review, tagged Angela Bettis, Lucky McKee, May on October 14, 2008 | 5 Comments »
So, guys, I’m not even going to lie. This one may suck, for a variety of reasons: 1) The past two weeks have sucked and I feel pretty damn beat down; 2) I feel like someone pretty much beat me with a baseball bat, that’s how sore and weird I feel; 3) It looks like [...]
Flashback: Gremlins

Guys, I’m scared.
Gremlins scared the everloving hell out of me as a kid. I was terrified of them; I used to take long, flying leaps into my bed at night for fear that the gremlins I imagined under my bed would come out and eat me or something. I rarely dream, [...]
Flashback: Michael Collins

I was really mystified when this landed in my hands from Netflix. Then I realized why I’d received it – I hadn’t done my normal Netflix reshuffling and this had worked its way up to the top of the queue.
I had always meant to watch Michael Collins again. I saw it [...]
Flashback: Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison
Posted in Comedy, Drama, Flashback, Netflix, Review, tagged Deborah Kerr, Heaven Knows Mr. Allison, Robert Mitchum on July 17, 2008 | 9 Comments »
Robert Mitchum is seriously one of my favorite actors of all time. I don’t know why Mitchum doesn’t get the acclaim he so rightly deserves. I often feel like Mitchum gets relegated to the second string behind guys like Jimmy Stewart and others of his generation and it’s always puzzled me. [...]
Flashback: The Towering Inferno

If you were a noted film and television actor in the 1970’s, please raise your hand if you were not in an Irwin Allen film.
Are those crickets I hear?
The Towering Inferno is one of those great ’70’s disaster films that’s jam packed with everyone and their dog that was remotely famous. The movie’s [...]
Flashback: House of the Dead (And A Small Rant About Uwe Boll)
Posted in Flashback, Horror, Mockery, Review, tagged House of the Dead, utter crap, Uwe Boll on March 31, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I should preface this by saying that I hate Uwe Boll’s movies. (This is probably not an unpopular opinion among movie buffs.) I’ve sat through at least four of his movies, trying desperately to find something redeeming in the hot messes he makes, but so far, I haven’t found much.
In the comments [...]
Flashback: The Point of No Return

Oh my god, this movie is a thousand kinds of bad. There’s nothing good-bad about it, either.
Okay, first of all, I want to ask Gabriel Byrne one question and one question only: “Why were you in this remarkable piece of crap?” Oh, Gabriel. You and those pretty blue eyes are capable of so much better.
Point [...]
