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.

(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 : 14 years, 12 months 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!

Dragonball Evolution review
Posted : 15 years, 1 month 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.

From Australia comes a timeless legend born in the untamed wild of Victoria's High Country.
Directed by George T. Miller and based on Banjo Paterson's poem, this 1982 blockbuster—which spawned a sequel and TV series—stars Tom Burlinson as Jim Craig, Sigrid Thornton as the spirited Jessica, and Kirk Douglas in dual roles.
Witness the record-shattering global phenomenon that conquered North America as a sweeping Western adventure, tracking a romance across family divides with death-defying equestrian stunts executed without a double.
From a nation's identity comes a Golden Globe-nominated masterwork. He went down a boy... and came back a legend.
The Man from Snowy River.
Commercial Legacy & Legal Fallout
Global Acclaim & Lawsuit: Earned a prestigious Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Film and generated massive international returns that famously triggered a profit-sharing lawsuit from co-star Kirk Douglas over his dual roles.
Critical Consensus & Reception
Bicoastal Praise: Warmly embraced by local Australian critics for its authentic bush folklore and striking High Country cinematography, while North American reviewers praised it as a sweeping, high-energy Western adventure.
Artistic Merit: Universally lauded by international film critics for its exhilarating action sequences, powerful orchestral score, and Tom Burlinson's genuine, death-defying equestrian performance executed without a stunt double.2 hours, 59 minutes ago

In the Atlantic's unforgiving expanse, a young crew is plunged into a claustrophobic hell.
Witness the visceral realism that captivated global audiences, grossed nearly eighty-five million dollars, and earned six Academy Award nominations.
From Wolfgang Petersen, this 1981 anti-war blockbuster—later expanded into a definitive German TV mini-series—stars Jürgen Prochnow, Herbert Grönemeyer, and Klaus Wennemann.
To the world, they were the enemy. Beneath the waves... they were just trying to survive.
Das Boot.
Audience Experience: Captivated global viewers with claustrophobic suspense and an unglamorous look at U-boat warfare that shattered subtitle barriers.
Critical Consensus: Earned widespread acclaim for its extraordinary craftsmanship and a deeply felt, powerful anti-war message.
Financial Performance: Grossed nearly $85 million worldwide—including $11 million in the U.S.—against a 32 million Deutsche Mark ($13 million) budget.
Awards: Secured six historic Academy Award nominations, including Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Wolfgang Petersen.
German Cinema Impact: Proved Germany could deliver high-budget, technically revolutionary studio blockbusters, opening Hollywood's doors to German talent.4 hours, 17 minutes ago

Directed by Ted Kotcheff and based on David Morrell’s 1972 novel, First Blood stars Sylvester Stallone, Richard Crenna, and Brian Dennehy and was released in 1982.
“John Rambo was just passing through town, but they had nothing better to do. They didn't know how far he would go. They didn't know he had been trained for survival. They didn't know he could stalk a soldier by his heartbeat. They didn't know they had started a war that they could never win. Sylvester Stallone in... First Blood."
The 1982 hit spawned a multi-billion dollar franchise with four action-packed sequels: Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Rambo III (1988), Rambo (2008), and Rambo: Last Blood (2019).
Production & Box Office: First Blood (1982) grossed $125.2 million worldwide against a modest $15 million budget, spending three straight weeks at number one in the U.S.
Test Screening Riots: Early test audiences hated the original tragic ending where the main character dies, forcing the studio to rewrite the script, save his life, and pave the way for four blockbuster sequels.
Novelist's Reaction: Author David Morrell praised this original film's visceral intensity and sympathetic portrayal of Rambo, but fiercely hated how later sequels turned his tragic veteran into a commercial, pro-military cartoon character.
Critical Reception: While initially met with mixed reviews for its heavy monologue, modern critics join Morrell in praising this grounded original over the cartoonish sequels that followed.11 hours, 22 minutes ago

I am utterly nauseated by Death Wish II, a bankrupt 1982 Filmways bullet fest directed by Michael Winner and starring Charles Bronson that exploited raw sadism.
Tracking Paul Kersey (Bronson) as he executes thugs Nirvana (Thomas F. Duffy), Stomper (Kevyn Major Howard), and Cutter (Laurence Fishburne) for the brutal murder of his daughter Carol (Robin Sherwood) and housekeeper Rosario (Silvana Gallardo)
Yet it’s profitable $16.1M return on an $8M budget guaranteed even worse, more ridiculous sequels.
Over-the-Top Bullet Fest: Transforms a once-grounded franchise into a mindless, hyper-violent spectacle of cheap shootouts and over-the-top violence.
Box Office Return: Grossed $16.1M on an $8M budget, securing easy profits by cashing in on its built-in franchise audience.
Recycled Catharsis: Relied entirely on re-hashing the exact same vigilante premise as the original film instead of offering anything new.
Favorable Timing: Released strategically in February 1982 to avoid holiday congestion, easily winning its opening week against minimal competition.
Critical Backlash: Lambasted by critics as an ugly, mean-spirited, and deeply uninspired studio cash grab.
Audience Reception: Embraced by bloodthirsty action fans who packed theaters to feast on the excessive violence and wish-fulfillment.12 hours, 52 minutes ago

The 1982 film Cat People, directed by Paul Schrader, based on the 1942 classic, starring Nastassja Kinski, and scored by Giorgio Moroder with David Bowie and follows a woman turning into a panther when aroused, creating a visually stunning erotic horror film that bombed against E.T. but became a defining 1980s neon cult classic.
Was It the Cat’s Meow?:
Stunning but pretentious: Praised for its hypnotic visual style, iconic David Bowie theme, and Moroder score, but split critics who found it overly serious.
Commercial failure: Grossed $21M on a $12.5M budget, crushed by a restrictive R-rating and box office titans E.T. and Poltergeist.
Audience disconnect: Failed in theaters because it was too slow for slasher fans and too graphic for mainstream drama crowds.
Redefined 1982 horror: Bombed alongside The Thing by rejecting cheap slasher tropes, yet pioneered the neon, MTV-style aesthetic and transgressive body horror of late-80s cinema.
Cult redemption: Found its true audience and lasting appreciation over the subsequent decades via home video releases.1 day ago

This sci-fi cyberpunk classic wax released in 1982.
Directed by Ridley Scott, scored by Vangelis, and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, and Sean Young, Blade Runner is a legendary neo-noir loosely based on Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, following cop Rick Deckard hunting four escaped humanoid Replicants in a dystopian Los Angeles.
1982 Box Office Flop: Crushed by E.T., it grossed just $30M–$41.8M on a $30M budget because misleading marketing promised a fast-paced action blockbuster but delivered a slow neo-noir.
Critical & Audience Backlash: Early viewers were deeply divided, slamming the sluggish pacing, style-over-substance approach, and flat, studio-mandated Harrison Ford voiceover.
Delayed Cult Status: Poor word-of-mouth initially killed its momentum, requiring years of home video reappraisal and multiple Director's Cuts to achieve its legendary sci-fi masterpiece status.
Cyberpunk Craze & Burnout: Birthed a neon genre that peaked with The Terminator (1984), crashed in the '90s with flops like Johnny Mnemonic, and revived via The Matrix (1999).
The Japan Anime Loop: Scott's Tokyo-inspired megacity sparked a global Japanese anime boom (Akira, Ghost in the Shell) that came full circle with official Blade Runner animated spin-offs.1 day, 5 hours ago

Tron was released in 1982 was directed by Steven Listtberger.
In a corporate world gone digital, programmer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) is sucked into a dangerous mainframe journey controlled by the Master Control Program, forcing him to fight alongside Tron (Bruce Boxleitner), Sark (David Warner), and Yori (Cindy Morgan) on a deadly grid.
This Walt Disney Productions classic featured tracks by Journey alongside a score by Wendy Carlos, setting up the movie of "Tomorrow."
Arcade Boom & Cult Split: While TRON bewildered 1982 moviegoers, its tie-in arcade game out-earned the film's $33 million domestic theatrical run.
It spawned spin-offs from TRON 2.0 to Fortnite, while home video built a cult following that inspired Cyberpunk 2077 and Akira.
Critics split sharply vacillating between praising its visuals and dismissing the narrative as sterile.
Franchise Fate & Extinction: Disney shelved the property for decades until TRON: Legacy, TRON: Uprising, and TRON: Ares underperformed financially.
Alongside The Last Starfighter, its initial era ended because its $17 million budget was weighed down by cutting-edge CGI that was too expensive, misunderstood, and texturally sterile for contemporary viewers.
Lasting Legacy: TRON proved deeply prophetic by predicting corporate AI, algorithms, and digital surveillance, its pioneering neon template laid the vital aesthetic groundwork for Blade Runner 2049.1 day, 9 hours ago

Directed by Robert J. Rosenthal and co-written by Bruce Rubin, Zapped! (1982) is the ultimate lewd '80s teen fantasy following nerdy Barney (Scott Baio), who uses weed-accident telekinesis to spy on naked girls, strip clothes, and lift skirts with his horny buddy Peyton (Willie Aames).
Co-starring dream girl Heather Thomas, this raunchy, dress-ripping cult classic later spawned a lame, totally tamed-down 1990 sequel, Zapped Again!, which completely lacked the original cast and explicit edge.
Massive ROI: Earned nearly $17 million on a shoestring budget, proving raunchy, high-concept teen films were highly profitable.
Star Power: Capitalized on top TV idols like Scott Baio and Willie Aames to draw in massive teenage audiences.
Pure Fantasy: Delivered the ultimate teen male wish fulfillment by combining comedic telekinesis with high school revenge.
Critic Shield: Succeeded entirely through fan word-of-mouth, completely bypassing scathing reviews from mainstream critics.
Genre Burnout: Spawned a failed, tame 1990 sequel (Zapped Again!) that proved the era of explicit teen comedies had officially ended.2 days, 11 hours ago

Directed by Peter Weir in 1981, Gallipoli is an acclaimed Australian war drama featuring a breakout role for Mel Gibson that follows two young sprinters whose deep friendship leads them to enlist in World War I, only to face a tragic, suicidal battlefield charge at Anzac Cove.
Success & Industry: Driven by ANZAC resonance, Gibson-Lee chemistry, and Murdoch's funding, the film proved Australian epics were highly profitable and internationally respected.
Praise & Backlash: Acclaimed (91% Rotten Tomatoes) as a "mateship" anti-war masterpiece, but criticized by historians for an anti-British bias that director Peter Weir later regretted.
Peter Weir: Cemented his auteur status, gaining the industry leverage to secure U.S. backing for Hollywood hits like Witness and Dead Poets Society.
Mel Gibson's Rise: Broke out in Mad Max, transitioned into a massive A-list star (Lethal Weapon), won two Oscars for Braveheart, and self-funded The Passion of the Christ.
Mel Gibson's Fall & Return: Exiled from Hollywood after a 2006 anti-Semitic DUI tirade and 2010 domestic abuse leaks, but launched a comeback with an Oscar nomination for Hacksaw Ridge (2016).1 week, 1 day ago
