CollectionsIt's by no means, a great film. It is however, a chesstaculary fun over the top movie.
Probably the best part of the film, is William Fichtner as "The Accontant", that and Nicholas Cage's hair.

The Interview review
Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 25 December 2014 07:05
(A review of The Interview)Having just seen The Interview, I would have to say it was pretty great film. Granted, some of the jokes where hit and miss, but it was still not that bad of a movie.

Jack and Jill review

(A review of Jack and Jill)I would say that this is a bottom of the barrel comedy, but I would be insulting both barrels and the bottom of barrels.

Whitney review
Posted : 15 years ago on 15 November 2011 05:23
(A review of Whitney)Tried watching this show a couple of times, but gave up on it after a few episodes. The fact that Whitney, is still on the air and that Community could be placed on an indefinite hiatus, and possibly cancelled by the "evil peacock network", says a lot about the "evil peacock network"'s priorities.

Season of the Witch review
Posted : 15 years ago on 29 October 2011 02:04
(A review of Season of the Witch)If your ever wondered, what The Name of The Rose, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, and The Devils, would be like featuring stilled dialogue, cheesy CGI, a predictable plot you can see coming from a mile away, and Nicholas Cage, then this film is for you!
Cage, plays a knight quested to deliver a young women, believed to be the cause of the Bubonic Plague, and of being a witch.
Also, the wolves in the film are of the CGI variety, but the unintentional laughs are very, very real.
Lovers of bad cinema, this is film is just for you!

(A review of Vanishing On 7th Street)It was an okay film, with an okay premise, but it fell apart at the very, very end.

Dragonball Evolution review
Posted : 15 years, 2 months ago on 18 September 2011 10:31
(A review of Dragonball Evolution)Best comedy, ever!
I know it isn't but from the very beginning, I found the film very much unintentionally hilarious.
Yes, I know that the TV series, had their moments of humor, but the live action takes it to the next level.
A direct comparison, would be Super Mario Bros and Double Dragon, both awesomely bad, and both worth checking out if you like really horribly awful, but yet entertainingly horribly bad movies films, this film definitely belongs way up there with them.

Directed by Joseph Sargent , the 1983 horror anthology film Nightmares stars Cristina Raines, Emilio Estevez, Lance Henriksen, Richard Masur, and Veronica Cartwright in four short stories about a housewife encountering an escaped killer, an arcade junkie trapped in a video game, a faithless priest hunted by a demonic truck, and a family terrorized by a giant rat.
Box Office & TV Limitations: Rushed into theaters from a rejected NBC pilot to cash in on the 1983 anthology trend, the film covered its $6.67 million budget but lost money after marketing and distribution costs.
Its cheap look and lack of broadcast-restricted gore couldn't compete with hits like Creepshow and Twilight Zone: The Movie, though it later found cult success on VHS and cable.
Critic & Audience Reception: Critics (29% Rotten Tomatoes, 39/100 Metacritic) and 1983 audiences (31% Rotten Tomatoes) panned its predictable scripts and lack of scares, though Emilio Estevez's arcade segment earned widespread praise.
Today, casual viewers (2.9/5 Letterboxd) appreciate its campy 1980s nostalgia.
Industry Impact: Its theatrical failure pushed horror anthologies to television, inspiring hit shows like Tales from the Crypt before indie franchises like V/H/S revived the format decades later7 hours, 40 minutes ago

Possession, released in 1981 (and in the U.S. in 1983), was directed by Andrzej Żuławski, co-written with Frederic Tuten, and stars Isabelle Adjani, Sam Neill, Heinz Bennent, and Margit Carstensen.
The psychological horror drama follows spy Mark (Neill), who returns to West Berlin to find his wife Anna (Adjani) demanding a divorce, sparking a violent descent into madness as he uncovers a monstrous secret behind her behavior.
Reception & Legacy
Initial Shock & Acclaim (1981). Stunned Cannes audiences, competed for the Palme d'Or, and won Isabelle Adjani Best Actress at Cannes and the Césars.
Bans & Butchered U.S. Cut (1983). Landed on the UK's "Video Nasty" list and lost nearly 45 minutes in an incoherent U.S. cut that drew panned reviews and grossed $1.1 million.
Cult Milestone. Restored in 4K from bootleg notoriety into a horror classic (87% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.2/10 IMDb), inspiring a remake by Robert Pattinson and Parker Finn starring Margaret Qualley.
Lasting Influence. Influenced filmmakers like Gaspar Noé, Lars von Trier, Ari Aster, Darren Aronofsky, and François Ozon, while Massive Attack recreated its sub1 day, 17 hours ago

Directed by stunt legend Hal Needham, this 1982 sci-fi spectacle is pure '80s cheese to the max. Commander Ace Hunter (Barry Bostwick) leads an elite squad alongside Michael Beck (Dallas) and Persis Khambatta (Major Zara). Decked out in skin tight jumpsuits, flying motorcycles, and laser blasting buggies, they battle a desert warlord played by Henry Silva.
Despite getting blasted at the box office ($5.7M on a $20M budget), its over the top camp turned it into a beloved cult classic that inspired Team America: World Police. After all, as the man says: "And oh, by the way—the good guys always win, even in the '80s!"
Deeds, not words!
Box Office Flop: Crushed by summer hits like E.T. and Blade Runner, its cheap effects, silly tone, and Mattel-backed "toy commercial" design alienated audiences and critics.
Industry Fallout: The bomb crippled Golden Harvest's Hollywood push, stalled director Hal Needham and star Barry Bostwick's careers, and forced studios to pivot from live-action toy movies to cheaper cartoons like He-Man and Transformers.
Cult Legacy: Despite failing in theaters, it eventually became a beloved cult classic that inspired Team America: World Police.2 days, 17 hours ago

Airplane II: The Sequel flew the unfriendly skies in 1982 and nis a sci-fi comedy directed by Ken Finkleman and starring Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Lloyd Bridges, Chad Everett, William Shatner, Rip Torn, and Sonny Bono.
Test pilot Ted Striker (Hays) sneaks onto an unsafe lunar shuttle with his ex-fiancée Elaine (Hagerty) and uses a passenger's bomb to destroy a rogue computer.
The sequel crashed and burned at the box office, grossing $27.2 million on a $15 million budget. It failed largely because audiences viewed it as a "soulless cash grab":
Missing Creators & Cast: The original ZAZ creators and stars Leslie Nielsen and Robert Stackdeclined to return, leaving Grease 2 writer Finkleman in charge.
Recycled Jokes: The script lazily copied the first film's structure and gags, simply moving the setting to space.
Poor Reviews: Critics echoed this sentiment (43% on Rotten Tomatoes), with Roger Ebert giving it two stars and Variety calling it "far worse" than the original.3 days, 7 hours ago

Directed by Norman Jewison, the 1982 romantic comedy
Best Friends stars Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn as a successful writing couple whose relationship hilariously unravels over marital anxiety and clash-of-culture panic during a chaotic holiday road trip to meet their eccentric, overbearing in-laws.
The 1982 romantic comedy Best Friends grossed $36.8 million on a $15–$19 million budget, ranking as a top 25 highest-grossing film globally that year.
Synergistic Success Factors: Best Friends capitalized on the massive box office draw of Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn, elite direction and writing from Norman Jewison, Valerie Curtin, and Barry Levinson, and strategic holiday counter-programming boosted by Oscar and Golden Globe buzz.
The Disconnect: Critics praised the film's realistic, toned-down performances (70% Rotten Tomatoes), but fans were deeply disappointed (33%) because the uncomfortable marital bickering denied them the charming, high-octane "Burt energy" and zany romantic comedy they expected.5 days, 11 hours ago

In The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), directed by Colin Higgins and starring Dolly Parton, Burt Reynolds, and Dom DeLuise with music by Carol Hall, Dolly Parton, and Patrick Williams, madam Mona Stangley and sheriff Ed Earl Dodd must fight to stop media watchdog Melvin P. Thorpe from shutting down the Chicken Ranch, a famed, historical Texas brothel.
Box Office Success: Grossed nearly $70 million after a record-breaking $11.8 million opening that temporarily dethroned E.T. as the highest R-rated debut of its time.
Sustained Momentum: Propelled by Dolly Parton’s No. 1 hit "I Will Always Love You," a built-in Broadway fanbase, and heavy media censorship that backfired by fueling public curiosity.
Critics vs. Audiences: Critics gave it mixed reviews for its conventional Hollywood tonal shift, but audiences overwhelmingly embraced it as a record-breaking, must-see blockbuster.
End of an Era: Film historians view its success as the ultimate end of the traditional, star-driven live-action musical before Hollywood permanently pivoted toward youth-oriented, MTV-style pop movies.6 days, 13 hours ago
