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…


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…


Centipede! (2004)

One thing I can give this movie is that it still insisted on using rubber puppets rather than going the CGI root. Which pretty much turns it from a made for Sci-fi channel movie to a z-grade drive-in remake, but I can still give credit when due. The movie starts off with a couple in…


Half-Caste (2004)

Movies trying to achieve the shot-on-video look usually just end up succeeding. But this success results in much failure. Combine that with trying to make it feel like a genuine documentary gone wrong, and then combine the fact that I only took a couple screenshots in an attempt to write as little as possible, and…


Terror Toons 1.5 (2006)

This isn’t really a movie, but since we all love Terror Toons so much and want bit parts in the next one, I’ll give this short a review. Found on the Terror Toons 2 DVD extras, 1.5 brings back some of the characters from the original classic but with another family. The main girl starts…


The Black Hole (2006)

Despite what the title tells you, the emphasis is on an electrical monster, not an astronomical force of destruction. There IS a black hole, but somehow the impending implosion of planet Earth is less dangerous than ONE stupid monster that the authorities can’t contain. The story starts out simple enough: a quantum research center has…


Shadow Puppets (2007)

This movie sat in my waiting box for about two years or so. Sometimes things slip through the cracks as I look at the discs and just say to myself, “Self, you probably don’t care to watch this”. And in most cases, my disembodied self is right. Other times, I finally get to watching them,…


Night of the Lepus (1981)

Well, this little gem of a movie was brought to my attention. It’s about rabbits. Big rabbits. So how can you go wrong with that. It’s very hard, but there’s one thing you can’t do. And that is take it too seriously. Given playing it straight came sometimes add to the campiness of the movie,…
