For the past three days (going on four) I’ve been without internet. Mind you, I’m really not complaining. It’s actually been kind of therapeutic not to have that “portal to the world” constantly open; though I’m sure a time will come, very soon, where I will hear something I’m interested in and want to fire…
The Brotherhood 2 (2001)
This was possible the gayest movie I’ve ever seen. Not that I’m in a habit of watching gay movies. I’m also not using that in a derogatory way, it really had boy-love undertones. Heck undertones would mean they attempted to hide it. And they didn’t. So I imagine most of this review will be a…
Hausu (1977)
Well this was a pleasant oddity. I had seen just a clip on the Lost and Found archives, then tracked down the movie. Thankfully the movie contained about the same level of weirdness and camera tomfoolery. At least the second half anyway. Many effects were used to create this movie, and being 1977, it was…
Guardians (2006)
I have to admit, the cover is impressive. That’s often the only thing that will help me see a movie. I’m simple in many ways. I couldn’t really figure out what the movie was about, and even halfway through that was still the case. I think towards the end, it was a bit clearer, but…
La Planete Sauvage (1973)
The idea of a distant planet, no a universe, teeming with alien life has always fascinated me. I attribute this largely to the fact that such thinking was unofficially forbidden by my father. Even to this day, I’m not entirely sure why he was so against the idea of life existing on other worlds. Maybe…
Alien Invasion Arizona (2005)
You can tell by the cover, that this movie was trying very hard to appear like a genuine alien movie. The words ‘Invasion Arizona’ were printed ever so tiny, it was easy to miss. But such is the work of b-movies, and luckily our trained eyes can spot these, and in turn specifically pick them…
Demons at the Door (2004)
Sooner or later, I’m going to end up watching all the movies that Joe Castro has been involved with. And not on purpose mind you, I just dig a DVD from the collection and voila, rubber demons bleeding yellow paint all over the place. Not that I complain mind you. A movie this silly can’t…
Killing Club (2001)
I really thought I wouldn’t like this one. It sat in my to-do pile for ages until Goshzilla gave me the evil eye and growled something about chronology, whatever that means. So I popped it in and expected a bore fest. You can’t blame me, it’s a thriller of all things. I’d raise the issue…
The Misled Romance of Cannibal Girl and Incest Boy (2007)
To call this a bad movie, would be to admit it was a movie. Actually I hate to say it’s even bad, because in some way it’s not. The fact that it’s 15 minutes long, helps tremendously as you can’t really be put off too much in that span of time. I think the connections…
Near Death (2004)
I will admit that Joe Castro has grown on me. I’m not ready to watch his films without the generous persuasion of a cattle prod (as is often the case working for Goshzilla), but the man has some chops. As a filmmaker, his talents reside mostly in cheap yet convincing special effects and less in…
