Fantastically bad!
Watching Johnny Mnemonic is akin to watching a train wreck in the sense that the train goes off the rails, flips twelve or thirteen times and then explodes in a massive conflagration akin to the sum total of all explosions in Michael Bay flicks. It’s that bad.
Based (and I use that term loosely) on [...]

Oh, Guillermo del Toro!
Poster found here.
Hellboy II picks up mostly where the first left off. The paranormal team is still fighting the good fight sans Harry, who was shipped to Antarctica, and a new member comes aboard. Johann Krauss is a German ectoplasmic man in a steampunk looking suit and he’s a stickler [...]

I can’t recall when I first saw The Day The Earth Stood Still, but I do reckon that it was most likely with my mom. To say that my mother is enthusiastic about this movie is understating it a bit; I think it’s actually one of her favorites of all time.
An alien spaceship lands in [...]

You know, I kind of have a love/hate relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s the predictability factor; you can count on any Arnold Schwarzenegger movie having some bad puns and the requisite “I’ll be back” quote but there’s something comforting in that. He’s like Old Reliable; you can watch almost any Schwarzenegger movie and feel like [...]

A review in random notes:
Mark Wahlberg, I like you but I don’t like you in this. Did you take heavy doses of Xanax during this thing? You look like an emotionless hunk of man-beef. Please don’t do whatever it is you were doing during this one again.
I have to say, it tears me up to [...]

OH, WHAT THE HELL, ROLAND EMMERICH?
WHAT. THE. HELL.
10,000 BC is a fine example of technical achievement gone awfully wrong. Sure, there’s breathtaking landscapes and detailed CGI animals of years gone by, but the setting makes no sense. Emmerich must have taken a history book and thrown it in a blender, because I can’t even make [...]

Ah, andrew. One of the glorious things about andrew is that not only do I get to chit chat about hockey (did you know I like other things outside of movies?!) with andrew, I get to chit chat about a variety of movies we both love.
One of these that popped up was Scanners.
I’m unapologetic about [...]

I love movies like this. I love movies where you know, you just know, someone made something so perfectly awesomely bad on purpose.
How, you ask, is it so awesomely bad?
Let’s take it step by step:
The super stealthy clown tracking method: Make your own bird dog animal balloon and have at it.
Okay, so these clowns like [...]

What a delightfully trippy movie.
Fantastic Planet is an animated movie that tells the story of two species: the giant Traags and the miniature Oms. The Oms are a put upon, abused sort of people who either live in some sort of freedom but absolute squalor or are kept by pets by the freaky looking [...]
