Three cheerleaders need to rescue their sensei after he was kidnapped, all while stripping to pay their college tuition.
Why this only has a 3.3 on IMDB I do not know. It was fun, funny, had decent acting, and three hot girls (though we don't get to see them strip down).
Plus it has George Takei.

It's been years since I watched this, so I felt a need to dust off the dvd, and I'm glad I did. This movie was a blast. Basically the culmination of Italian zombie movies. It's as if Fulci actually understood the genre for a change, and he understood it perfectly!

This movie wastes no time getting started. We have an outbreak after a sabateur steals a military virus, spreads the love at a nearby resort, and bam! Zombies galore.

What surprised me is how competent this movie was. Some of the sce... Continue »

A former soccer star tries to get back into his ex-wife and son's life.
Pretty star-studded flick. Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dennis Quaid, Judy Greer.
Pretty average movie in this genre. A few touching father/son scenes, and the ever present misunderstanding. And Uma Thurman in her underwear.

A doctor is shocked to discover his brother is a vampire.
There wasn't really anything in this movie that did anything for me. It just existed, and will quickly fall into one of those movies that I will have no idea if I've seen or not.
Basic plot, some pretty bad acting, cheap sets, and a vampire without fangs.

The world of a cappella on college campuses. I went in not knowing much about it, but the one thing I did know is that I probably wasn't going to enjoy it. I ended up with a stack of DVDs, and this was next in the pile.
This was a surprisingly strong movie. The singing was really good (as it would have to be), had a lot of great humor also, and one of those "What the fuck?" moments where I had to rewind and make sure I heard what I thought I did.
If a couple of the humor scenes didn't fall compl... Continue »

This is a period piece chronicling the life of Georgiana Spencer, the Duchess of Devonshire.
I really enjoyed it. But then, I do like period piece movies and biographical films, of which this was both.
Keira Knightley was really good in this. There were scenes where she didn't have to say a word,, it was all expressed through the eyes. And when she was on the platform as Charles Grey gave his first speech? Yowzaaa...
Ralph Fiennes was very good as The Duke. Played it very stodgy, as I'm sure a... Continue »

A police captain's friend is murdered, and he and the famous Detective Wong investigate and end up surrounded by murders.
Nothing really stands out in this film, but it is very derivative of the Torchy Blane films from the mid to late 30s.

Yes, this is the movie directed by Fred Durst, and it's surprisingly competent. I wont say it's great, but John Travolta is great as the obsessive and almost child-like fan. A boy in a grown man's body who is obsessed with Hunter Dunbar (Devon Sawa) and plots some incriminating ways to get an autograph after he misses out on a book-signing opportunity.

Devon Sawa is also good. After watching this and Escape Plan 3, I wonder why we don't see more of him. Still, this is mostly a story about Holly... Continue »

Would have been cooler if it was a MASKED stalker.

There's a guy at work who has decided to make it his job to ensure I am wearing a mask.
I was in his office area where 3 of the 8 people wear masks, and I wasn't. He asked me to put one on, I said "Sure" and went about my business. Bear in mind I have been in that office area maybe ten times in the past year.
In the past two days he found me in the lunchroom and twice on the plant floor, and asked me to wear a mask.
But he passes right by other... Continue »

First off, is this movie a Hellraiser rip-off? Sorta. The cover art features a pinhead-esque villian named Razorface. He isn't the main villain though. John Saxon plays a psychotic cult leader who injects drugs into people to create his evil cenobite-like servants while David Emge uses a crossbow with a counterdrug to melt their brains. And somehow, this movie STILL sucks.

What are your favorite movies that pervert religious beliefs? Any religion.
The Exorxist is probably the most famous of these, IMO.

I've fallen off the Nolan bandwagon a bit over the years, but this one was alright. It's basically Christopher Nolan's big and overblown Hollywood version of "In the Shadow of the Moon", but I'm not complaining. With all the weird sci-fi shit he does, it's about time that he did something with time-travel.

Does it make sense though? Eh, it makes enough sense I guess. Nolan is big on introducing huge high concept sci-fi and leaving the mechanisms to the imagination, or flat out making up... Continue »

My most recent foray into action/exploitation. This one directed by Cirio H. Santiago who has what seems like an unlimited filmography in this category. This is right up there with one of his more entertaining.

There is absolutely no plot or character development in this one. They just get right into it. Basically a girl goes to the Philippines to find her sister who disappeared. She runs into drug dealers and even a Bloodsport type martial arts tournament where people fight to the death. She... Continue »

I got bored one day and decided to make an Excel spreadsheet tracking all the movies I've seen over the years. 2013 is when I started keeping track, and older ones as I remember.

A couple years ago I was looking for a horror podcast to listen to while at work, and I came across Lore.
It delves into bizarre and true stories from around the world. Most of the ones I listened to had a dark edge to them. Some had a sharp edge, especially axes.
Some are about well-known stories, such as the Jersey Devil and Lizzie Borden. Others are some I never heard of.
They range from 30 minutes to an hour. Check it out if interested
And when you do, make sure you say hi to Aaron Mah... Continue »

I wont go into too much detail, but I've always liked Frank Grillo. He is one smooth motherfucker and I love seeing him be bad-ass. Mel Gibson doesn't have as meaty of a role as he did in Fatman, but put him in any movie and it'll be better. The science behind the time-loop is negligable compared to the action and comedy it provides, but at this point, is there anything more to say about time-loop movies? The protagonist goes through trial and error, tries to be a better person, yada yada...

Gr... Continue »

All I can say is wow. Can't believe it took me this long to watch. One the best bad movies I have seen in a long time. This movie should be the poster child of a board like this. It is so badly hilarious at times with the acting, dubbing and scenarios and then other times amazingly brutal with its violence.

I actually started to watch this on Tubi the other day but then looked into it and found out it was edited. The only unedited version I could find was the DVD directly through Full Moon so... Continue »

After the school was destroyed in the first movie, it's only natural that, for entertainment's sake, the school be rebuilt and merged with the nuclear power plant. Our protagonist is a beefcake named Roger who everybody views as a stupid nerd, which is pretty funny. He finds love with a woman named Victoria, who happens to be a subhumanoid with a mouth on her belly button, capable of melting down into a pile of green slime at any point!

I've been told that this movie sucks, but I was pretty ent... Continue »

Also we will promote trashepics on our discussions for horror novels!

Just watched LA Wars as I grabbed the Vinegar Syndrome release a while back. If you are into action/exploitation you need to see it now. Right up there with Action USA as cheesy gold. It has everything from over the top gun violence, martial arts, boobs, ridiculous 90s attire, and your typical 90s meat head in the lead role. The exchanges with him and his captain are hilarious. They are almost straight out of the ones they made fun of in the Last Action Hero but they were trying to be serious.... Continue »

I just saw this movie for the first time, two or three days ago. I guess I had heard of it, and maybe vaguely knew the general idea, but somehow I missed seeing it.

I liked it! The WAY they shot the movie is borderline spectacular... it has lots of very cool shots that I think might be called fractal... the camera appears to be zooming in and in and in for MILES along a city street, and the central point in the frame keeps expanding until it moves beyond you and you seem to be within it, and...

This movie is almost competent. It seems like some crap Anchor Bay might have put out back in the day, and that crap was always pretty awesome either way. This movie has some charm to it, but only a little.

The plot is brilliant though. A guy sleeps around with the housewives of suburbia, unknowingly spreading his VD that turns women (who have had children, mind you) into some very very hungry women. They're almost zombies, but not braindead enough. Furthermore, they look like rip-offs of Frigh... Continue »

Samuel L. Jackson, born 1948
Richard Roundtree, born 1942

I had no idea they were only 6 years apart. Shaft prime sure started early!

I realize, many people refuse to have anything to do with this franchise, because the director is such a shitstain. I can't argue with that. But for me, this is a guilty pleasure... I have enjoyed at least a few scenes in all the movies in the franchise so far. I will have to find a way to watch this so no money goes to the director... anyway, it looks like they are well into filming, and possibly have already finished. It says it will be released later this year.

So this movie is basically perfect. From the late Danny Steinman pre F13-5 infamy, this here is high school rape/revenge gang movie set in Los Angeles 1984. You can't get a more perfect setting.

As it begins, our female protagonists are led by Linda Blair, whose nips are the first thing you see. Don't worry, you eventually get to see her topless, but we'll get to that later. Her deaf little sister is played by Linnea Quigley, and it's funny to see her playing such a naive and innocent girl. Wel... Continue »
