I wanted to give this an extreme rating of some sort, since it goes far beyond the realms of simply being ‘bad’. However it’s not so bad it’s good, and it isn’t so bad that I simply didn’t like it. So it will unceremoniously sit in the middle of the general ‘bad’ range. It is…
9: The Original Short (2005)
If you’re like me, you knew about the theatrical motion picture “9” produced by Tim Burton before you ever even heard about the animated short of the same name by Shane Acker. The short was developed and released as a school project in 2005. Garnering much respect, it caught the eye of one, Tim Burton,…
Wolvesbayne (2009)
Often it’s very easy to see what movie a clone is copied from. Wolvesbayne features a clan of werewolves fighting evil vampires, with a heroic brunette. Unlike say Underworld which features a heroic vampire fighting werewolves. Completely different of course. But what was really needed was a selfish and annoying businessman to whine the whole…
Retro Commercials – Batch 1
Welcome to the first installment of retro commercials. The first may be the last, since I don’t have any others on hand at the moment, but we’ll go with it regardless. The following are commercials that I’ve personally taken off old VHS tapes, so I’m not just meandering around Youtube looking for update fodder. We…
Taintlight (2009)
My first impressions of this movie was ‘wait, this looks familiar’, and it soon dawned on me that I was watching yet another feature by the director of Blood Fart Lake. But I press on, hopeful that I could get a few laughs despite some crude humor. As expected, there’s pretty much the same level…
Blood and Bone (2009)
A common criticism of action movies is that the plot often lacks in lieu of fight scenes. But to me that’s like saying a cake has too much frosting and lacks a plate so you have to eat it with your hands. Which to a normal person makes sense, but to me it sounds perfect….
Last of the Living (2008)
Finally an indie movie that was done spectacularly. A quick browse through the movie showed that it was a lower budget, self-produced effort, but it’s readily apparent that they knew what they were doing. Right from the start the camera angles were spot on, and title overlays were done tastefully. Heck, the rule of thirds…

Enemy Mine (1985)
No idea why I stumbled upon this as 80’s sci-fi isn’t really my thing, but fortunately it’s more of an adventure movie set to a sci-fi theme. In the distant future Earth has proclaimed peace, so naturally they had to set out into space to find someone to butt heads with. As they explored deeper…
Light Years (1988)
Let’s think hypothetically for a moment. Imagine you have a friend or somebody you know and you’ve known them for so long that you’re positive they wouldn’t hurt a fly. Then, suddenly, you get a glimpse of the future and you learn that at some point, maybe a year from now or more, this friend…
