Picking up after the events of the 1950’s film, the War of the Worlds television series found a small research team battling the dark agenda of the Martians that survived the first war. Now, anyone who has seen the original film will undoubtedly have some questions. For starters, all the Martians were wiped out by…
Crow: Wicked Prayer (2005)
Dennis Hopper, David Boreanaz, and Danny Trejo, how can we go wrong. Well Edward Furlong and Tara Reid for starters. But so many other things go wrong in this movie. I guess technically I can’t say it has no plot, since it copies the plot from the original. To recap: man loves girl, man wants…
Big Man Japan (2007)
While the idea of monsters attacking Japan isn’t really a new idea, this movie certainly takes a different approach. First off, the monsters are ridiculous. They are all CGI based, as is the hero, but it isn’t meant to be 100% realistic so they in turn went the other direction and thought up the most…

By the time I realized what was going on, I had missed critical information occurring in the middle of…

However, when faced with corruption and perceived injustice to the innocent, his cane, concealing a blade,…
Accion Mutante (1993)
Wow, what a weird movie. Seriously, this one takes the cake. It has a cold open with a guy yelling and some deranged people tying him up. After he struggles for a bit they talk about the logistics and determine that the cost of the kidnapping won’t be covered by the random. Then the guy…
The Impossible Kid (1982)
I have a feeling that I will be reviewing more sequels in the near future than original entries. Luckily for me, my taste in movies doesn’t really make that matter much. So anyway as a grand follow-up to the classic ‘For Your Height Only’, Weng-Weng is back as Secret Agent 00. The original couldn’t decide…
