I’m honestly not sure what this is. I felt obligated to try and find at least one Thanksgiving themed entry for the site, since I’m obviously too busy to create custom graphics and such. Maybe I’ll perk up for Christmas. Who knows. Anyway I stumbled over whatever this is supposed to be. I wasn’t even…
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…
The Wild World of Batwoman (1966)
I tend to have more of an appreciation for classic films as opposed to more current things of my generation. I think back to the days of Alfred Hitchcock and while I may not have even been around to appreciate them, that hasn’t stopped me from longing for the days of cool actors and cool…
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…
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…
Lost Highway (1997)
There are many ways one can approach a David Lynch film. The literal interpretation of events can only carry you so far as seemingly inexplicable elements are thrown in to throw you off at every turn. As is most often the case, multiple viewings yield multiple perceptions and in this review, I will do my…
The Story of Srebrenica
The Story of Srebrenica tries to be a heartwarming children’s tale, but ultimately becomes a disturbing tale of parental loss and eating rats. Srebrenica was loved by her parents who named her after a place that just sounded nice. They gave her a home and a blanket; what else could a parent do better. But…
Tetsuo (1989)
Movies like Tetsuo are not for the faint of heart. If you’re even the slightest bit squeamish about violence, then steer clear of this. It’s not so much that the violence is so over-the-top is the fact that it’s so visceral and raw. Most of the violence revolves around physical mutation, a person’s body grotesquely…
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…
Dead Leaves (2004)
‘Ope, an anime review. It’s all going downhill from here. Or is it? Nah, probably not. Dead Leaves is what I would imagine Blues Brothers would be like as a cartoon with more violence and a shot of acid. The story revolves around a woman named Pandy, because of a red dot around her right…
