TRASH CINEMA HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOVIE
Limitless starts out with a fairly irresistible premise. You know the old saw that we only use 20% of our brains? Well, what if you could take a pill that would allow you to utilize 100%?
Now, this pill doesn’t turn you […]

TRASH CINEMA RECOMMENDED MOVIE
The key to enjoying From Beyond is to keep in mind that the film is intended as the film analog to the old EC Horror Comics, seasoned with some nudity and mild S&M.
The source material is a H. P. Lovecraft story, but […]

TRASH CINEMA HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOVIE
You’ve got to hand it to screenwriters Ib Melchior, Robert Thom, and Charles B. Griffith — a quarter century down the road, their satire of political manners seems awfully sharp, even prescient.
You want examples? When a governmental resistance group starts […]

TRASH CINEMA RECOMMENDED MOVIE
I think that 2012 is supposed to be fun, but it might be a little too intense for that. Don’t get me wrong — the science is ridiculous, the individual characterizations are rather shallow, and the Perils-Of-Pauline escapes are just as over the top […]

TRASH CINEMA HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOVIE
It’s tempting to proclaim Strange Days a masterpiece and be done with it. There’s the highly original, often brilliant script by James Cameron and professional movie critic Jay Cocks, filmed with energy and commitment by Kathryn Bigelow. There’s the inspired pairing of […]

TRASH CINEMA RECOMMENDED MOVIE
Give credit to writer/director Christopher Nolan for one thing: he’s got balls like an elephant. Inception is the most demanding piece of speculative fiction written for the screen in the history of movies.
Now, what do I mean by that? After all, we’ve already […]

The first thing that has to be said about Avatar is that it’s visually astounding. The level of detail in each frame is so vast that it boggles the mind. Writer/director James Cameron and his army of visual artists and technicians have […]

TRASH CINEMA ESSENTIAL MOVIE
I have to admit, I was taken aback at how well The Fury plays, 30 years after it was first released. Brian De Palma’s visuals are as beautiful as ever. For example, take the scene in which Gillian Bellaver […]

NOT WORTH YOUR TIME
Watching Starship Troopers 2 makes you appreciate how much the first film owed it’s success to director Paul Verhoeven.
Sure, the sequel was made for something like one tenth the budget, so you’d expect much less spectacle and lower production values, but there’s more […]

WORTH A LOOK
I remember seeing Escape From New York when it came out in 1981, and even then, it had the energy of a dead battery. Normally, it’s not a film I would care to revisit, but it happened to be on a quadrupal bill of trash […]
