Satan has become an embarrassment to our progressive views .
Exorcist II : The Heretic is a difficult movie to write about . The things that don't work or the things that are totally ridiculous are the very reasons to watch the movie . It's an absolute mess and a helluva good time because of it . The plot - don't worry about the plot . It might make your head explode if you thin...

What's up with David Janssen ? I've seen any number of films he stars in and I've yet to see why or how the guy made so many films , especially late in his career .

Another Gawd awful TV pilot
It doesn't take long to see why Code Name : Diamond Head didn't make it onto the network schedules . The TV pilot movie doesn't get past the credits before it's obvious just how bad it's going to be . Maybe I missed something , because the plot didn't make a whole lot of sense .

Not as much fun as the other Cardona movies I've seen
Cyclone's plot features a group of people stranded at sea after a cyclone rolls through leaving them with little water or food .

Interesting as a relic , but that's as far as I can go
Reading through the various user comments on IMDb for The Sword and the Dragon ( the title I saw the film under ) I notice words like surreal , bizarre , goofy , ridiculous , wacky , and weird . I can understand how someone might use each of these adjectives to describe the movie . As I watched , I might have been temp...

Where is the real Scooby Doo ?
I realize that Scooby Doo 2 is basically a kids ' movie . I realize that I am long past the target audience's age . And , I realize that it's a sequel to a movie I didn't care for . However , I grew up a fan of the original Scooby Doo cartoon . I was 6 years-old when the cartoon originally aired and I have fond memorie...

There's road kill all over Texas .

I couldn't have cared less whether the supposed heroes of the movie lived or died . A more unlikable pair do you rarely run across . The guy was a s...

A Bore
- It's probably unfair , but I can't help but compare Gambling City with Almost Human . Both movies were released at the same time by NoShame Films and I watched them almost back-to-back . Where Almost Human was a thrill a minute sadistic ride into the depravity of man , Gambling City is a dull , lifeless bore . - My p...

Halloween and Michael should have died with H2O
Why was this movie even made ? Hasn't this story been beaten to death ? Did we really need another ridiculous installment in the series ? Of course the answer to all of these questions is money . Apparently and inexplicably there is still cash to be mined from the Halloween franchise . Too bad . Halloween H2O provided ...

Skip It
Dismissing The Antichrist as a rip-off of The Exorcist is too easy . Sure it was designed to cash-in on The Exorcist's success , but it's not the first movie to ride the coattails of another movie . Just look at all the sequels that Jaws spawned ( Piranha , Tintotera , Crocodile , etc . ) for an even better example . M...

These Russian fantasy movies just don't appeal to me
I'll skip the normal plot synopsis and get right to it . Besides , anything I could write about the plot would hardly matter as the American bastardization of Sadko that I watched appears to bear only a passing resemblance to either the original Russian movie or the classic Russian folktale on which it was based .

Another in a long line of bad Sword and Sorcerer movies
- I don't know who Alejandro Sessa is , but the Executive Producer on this piece of trash was Roger Corman . Amazons is just another example of the garbage that Corman allowed his name to be attached to in the 80s . Why Roger ? Why ? - Amazons is almost devoid of any real entertainment . It's boring , dull , and lifele...

Besides the long blond hair she hides under a brunette wig , she's also hiding a man in every city she ...

Even though The Human Duplicators isn't a very good movie ( it registers far too high on the boredom scale ) there's something oddly entertaining about the whole thing that keep me from rating it a bomb as so many others . It's a crazy mix of 60s sci-fi and spy movies . The plot involves an alien named Kolos ( Richard ...
