109 | Decker Shado | Predator 2 Movie Review | Ten years after a band of mercenaries first battled a vicious alien, the invisible creature from another world has returned to Earth-and this time, it's drawn to the gang-ruled and ravaged city of Los Angeles. When it starts murdering drug dealers, detective-lieutenant Mike Harrigan and his police force set out to capture the creature, ignoring warnings from a mysterious government agent to stay away. We all have this kind of film. A film we know is flawed, but we love it anyway. I can point out what's wrong with it (talking Predator, hello!!??), but I'm not going to, you already know what's wrong with it. I'd rather talk about what I love about it. | ||||||||||||||

113 | Decker Shado | Alien VS Predator Movie Review | A review of the 2004 Fox movie, Alien VS Predator (AVP) by Decker Shado, the internet personality with the best hair.

118 | Decker Shado | Derailed Movie Review | Back in 2002, while Jean-Claude Van Damme was deep in straight-to-dvd hell, Derailed was but one of many quickly put together action movies he starred in.

119 | Decker Shado | Prometheus Movie Review | It's been 15 years since the last "true" Alien movie, and Prometheus aims to bring the series back to it's former glory, by heading back before Alien was Alien.

Taking the animated road meant more freedom for writers, but the severly limited budget made it a lot more restricting than you would think. Is it so stiff it's not worth watching, or is there something good to be found somewhere in the pages? | ||||||||||||||
131 | Decker Shado | A Bucket of Blood Movie Review | Released in 1959, A Bucket of Blood is a Roger Corman production starring Dick Miller as a serial killer, whom uses his victims as the base for his clay sculptures. As it came out six years after the 1953 remake of Mytery of the Wax Museum, just how big of a rip off was it? Or perhaps, was it truly a rip off at all? | ||||||||||||||
132 | Decker Shado | Invasion of the Pod People Movie Review | The Asylum, a film studio known well now for it's straight to DVD "Mockbuster" movies, decided back in 2007 to produce a film to capitalize off of the success of Invasion, the TV series that served as the latest incarnation of Invasion of the Body Snatchers remakes. How does it compare to the original, or the remake? Or heck, does it even do Pod People justice? | ||||||||||||||
133 | Decker Shado | Bloodsport Movie Review | Before Jean-Claude Van Damme was JCVD, one movie helped to launch him into stardom, the 1988 martial arts action film Bloodsport. Although it lacks positive critical acclaim, it quicly becam a favorate among action movie goers. But did this portrayal of Frank Dux's life deserve to be remembered, or were the professional popcorn eaters correct all along? | ||||||||||||||
134 | Decker Shado | eXistenZ Movie Review | Back in 1999, when the Dreamcast was the hot new game system, David Cronenburg imagined a hotter, newer game system called eXistenZ. Overlooked entirely at the box office, many attribute this to the target audience heading off to watch The Matrix instead. Is this the case, or was this tale of bio technological gaming and murder both for and against game players doomed from the start? | ||||||||||||||
135 | Decker Shado | Soldier Movie Review | The 1998 action movie starring Kurt Russel, Soldier quickly gained and maintained the animosity of critics worldwide. Decker Shado takes a look at this widely hated movie to see if it truly is one of the most detestable films ever created, or if there is more than a little silver lining to this Warner Brothers presentation. | ||||||||||||||
136 | Decker Shado | Evil Bong Movie Review | Originally aired April 18th, 2012.<br><br>Tired of people saying weed will kill you?

Celebrating 4:20 as the first holiday special of my review show, see for yourself if Evil Bong is worth a toke, or if this would be better off criminalized. | ||||||||||||||
137 | Decker Shado | Evil Bong 2 Movie Review | Originally aired April 25th, 2012<br><br>After the first Evil Bong, Charles Band was at it again in the search for more money. Despite not having Tommy Chong or even the original Alistair, does this sequel to a low quality horror flick still maintain the odd charm? Or perhaps does it stand as proof that it really is possible to overdose on weed? | ||||||||||||||
138 | Decker Shado | Top 10 Xenomorph Kills Movie Review | As Prometheus is right around the corner, I take a look back at the 6 films that showcase the titular Alien, known as the Xenomorph. One thing they all do very well, is kill. A lot. And with that in mind, I present to you my list of the top 10 Xenomorph kills. What made the cut, and what just didn't hold up to scrutiny? | ||||||||||||||
139 | Decker Shado | Timecop Movie Review | Back in 1994, before starring in Street Fighter Jean-Claude Van Damme would find himself in this film adaptation of a Dark Horse Comics series.

140 | Decker Shado | Night Train to Terror Movie Review | A relatively recent 1985 public domain film, Night Train to Terror combines multiple stories along a narrative that follows a band singing a terrible song while literrally on the fast track to death.

141 | Decker Shado | House Movie Review | The first film on Fred Dekker's filmography, House stars William Katt as Roger Cobb living in a haunted house, of all things. A horror comedy in the vein of Evil Dead, does House manage to entertain fans of the genre, or is there a good reason I picked up this DVD on discount? | ||||||||||||||

143 | Decker Shado | House 2 Movie Review | Written and Directed by Ethan Wiley, House 2 was a drastic departure from the original - but seeing as the original wasn't a perfect movie by any means, was that neccicarily a bad thing? New characters, new supernatural rules and a new house - but at it's heart is it really just the same old tricks? | ||||||||||||||
144 | Decker Shado | Alien VS Hunter Movie Review | Still waiting for Prometheus to release in the US, Decker Shado takes a look at The Asylum's last rip off of the Alien franchise, Alien VS Hunter. Ripping off AVP Requiem, AVH puts William Katt in one of the oddest roles of his career - does it actually pull off the impossible of making a good Asylum movie? Or is Requiem actually the better film? | ||||||||||||||
145 | Decker Shado | The Funhouse Movie Review | Originally shown June 13th 2012, on Blip.<br>A cult classic from 1981, The Funhouse is a story of four generic teenagers whom get picked off one by one, directed by Tobe Hooper.

147 | Decker Shado | Beneath the Planet of the Apes Movie Review | Week two of the Summer of the Planet of the Apes showcases the first of what would be a great many sequels, Beneath. Set directly after the first film closes, Beneath goes in a very strange direction.. but is it to the film's detriment, or was it actually done well? | ||||||||||||||
148 | Decker Shado | Escape From the Planet of the Apes Movie Review | The third movie in the Planet of the Apes series, and the only one made with sequels actually in mind, Escape takes the apes out of the familiar dystopian future and into our own past.

150 | Decker Shado | Battle for the Planet of the Apes Movie Review | Originally aired July 18th, 2012<br>What was meant to be the really, truly actual final Planet of the Apes film - Battle for the Planet of the apes didn't so much end the series with a bang but more a whimper. However, despite it's poor critical reception, is there more to enjoy with this movie, or have we all truly had enough damn dirty apes? | ||||||||||||||
151 | Decker Shado | Planet of the Apes (2001) Movie Review | After nearly 30 years of no planet, and no apes - Fox decided to bring the series back with the help of Tim Burton and Mark Wahlburg. However, critical reaction to the film was so bad, Fox pulled the plug on the planned sequels. Was there more to this film than we saw, or did those maniacs finally really do it? Did they blow it up? | ||||||||||||||
152 | Decker Shado | Rise of the Planet of the Apes Movie Review | The seventh week of the Summer of the Planet of the Apes, and the final Planet of the Apes film, Rise of the Planet of the Apes from 2011. After the very negative reaction to the 2001 film, plans for sequels were derailed, however a mere 10 years later we were given yet another reboot. Did Rise live up to the legacy, or has all the charm been lost in a mess of CGI? | ||||||||||||||
153 | Decker Shado | Planet of the Apes (TV Series) Movie Review | Week 8 of the Summer of the Planet of the Apes, and we have the 14 episode series that originally aired in 1974. High budget, with great acting and starring Roddy McDowall, how did this series end up only staying on the air for half a season? Maybe there was cause, after all... | ||||||||||||||
154 | Decker Shado | Play-Mate of the Apes Movie Review | Part 2 of the Decker-Creepy Crossover and the FINALE of the Summer of the Planet of the Apes! Decker and Creepy look at a Planet of the Apes themed porno, Play-Mate of the Apes by Seduction Cinema. With apes, and sex, how can you go wrong? Oh you can go wrong. You can go very, very wrong.<br><br>You know, I thought about linking to the dvd on amazon.. but considering the content, such a link may actually be against the TOS. Or the constitution.. or the bible. In any case it feels very strongly like I should not do that. | ||||||||||||||
155 | Decker Shado | Bride of the Gorilla Movie Review | From the writer of the 1941 classic The Wolf Man, Bride of the Gorilla sought to recapture the imagination of moviegoers looking for men transforming into beasts. However, it's not remembered nearly as fondly as it's predecessor. Is there a good reason for that, or is there something here we've been missing out on since 1951? | ||||||||||||||
156 | Decker Shado | Decker/Creepy Crossover Blooper Reel Movie Review | Back when I did the Summer of the Planet of the Apes, I was talking with Creepy about having a big double-crossover finale. Unfortunately, my transportation got screwed around and I ended up having to take the Greyhound to get to his place. This led to me having to film two episodes in one day, while being up for well over 24 hours. Obviously, I didn't pull this off quite as smoothly as I could have. | ||||||||||||||
157 | Decker Shado | Wake of Death Movie Review | A Jean-Claude Van Damme action flick from 2004, Wake of Death was supposed to be directed by Ringo Lam, but after changing hands several times ended up in the lap of Philippe Martinez. Does it continue In Hell's trend of reasonably good movies from the dark age of Van Damme's career, or has the plot been compromised after so much shuffling? | ||||||||||||||
158 | Decker Shado | 2012 Doomsday Movie Review | The Asylum, infamous for decieving people into purchasing their straight to DVD low budget flicks that look almost like the popular franchises they actually were interested in, ironically enough also produce Christian themed movies under the name of Faith Films. They still are nothing more than ripoffs of other movies, such as 2012: Doomsday. However, with 2012 being such a bad film in it's own right, how did the Asylum version fare? | ||||||||||||||
159 | Decker Shado | Decker Shado Moves Movie Review | The painful process of moving alone takes quite a lot of time away from video production. Then of course, one can film the goings on whilst it occurs. | ||||||||||||||
160 | Decker Shado | The Cyberstalking Movie Review | A made for TV movie from 1999, The Cyberstalking follows the trend of the time of strange virtual worlds and ridiculous technology that goes completely unexplained. With a focus on music and a pop star's career, did this film deserve a theatrical release, or were they lucky it ever aired in the first place? | ||||||||||||||
161 | Decker Shado | Predators Movie Review | Looking back at another early review of mine, this one is not quite as embarrassing to look back on as the Predator 2 review, but there are a few rough edges. Listen in awe as I ramble on about nothing in particular for a half hour - what fun! | ||||||||||||||
162 | Decker Shado | Decadent Evil Movie Review | Months before Twilight, our resident king of schlock, Charles Band, produced his own take on vampires in a modern day setting. They don't sparkle, they don't go to high school, so what do they do? It's Charles Band, they strip and fuck. Then again, how bad could necrophilia be? | ||||||||||||||
163 | Decker Shado | A off-the-cuff first time viewing of Attack of the Giant Leeches, produced by Roger Corman. Completely unscripted, I suppose you could call this a "let's watch" video. Yay for public domain movies! This also proved to be a little more difficult than I had anticipated, but nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. | |||||||||||||||
164 | Decker Shado | Scientific Analysis: Predator Species Movie Review | The Xenomorph XX121, better known just as Xenomorph or the "Alien", is an extraterrestrial hive-based endoparasitoid species with a multi-staged life cycle, possibly originating from the planet Xenomorph Prime. One of the deadliest of all known alien species, these creatures require a host organism in order to reproduce. The appearance of the Xenomorph can vary depending on the host in which the embryo is implanted. | ||||||||||||||
165 | Decker Shado | Demonic Toys Movie Review | A botched bust on a pair of arms dealers inadvertantly leads to the raising of a sixty-six-year-old demon with the power to bring toys to life as his personal minions. The demon is looking for a body to inhabit so he can increase his powers, and it just so happens that one of the police officers is pregnant with the ideal host. I love movies about random inanimate objects that come to life and start killing everyone, especially when it's killer toys. Maybe the only person who enjoys them more than me is Charlie Band because he has basically built an empire off of a single idea about inanimate toys that come to life and kill and he's just recycled it over and over in different ways. He is the patron saint of B-movies. Bless him and respect him. This shameless rip-off of both Child's Play and Band's own Dolls and Puppet Master is about a demon buried underneath a toy factory that comes to life when some blood from the victim of a police sting gone bad drips into its grave. It then proceeds to possess several toys and terrorize a group of people locked in said factory. I don't know how it's able to inhabit multiple toys and also show itself as a young boy, but that's really neither here nor there because clearly logical plot lines is not part of this movie's agenda. | ||||||||||||||
166 | Decker Shado | Decker and Dragons Movie Review | A short based on the fact that Nekotwins and TheMimic1013 have this strange habit of destroying everything in their path whilst playing Dungeons & Dragons with me. Also, the fact that I had very little time this week to put anything together, but wanted to do something more complex than a simple blog or commentary this week. So.. No script, no real idea how it will turn out, but hoping it can be entertaining.<br><br>While playing real games of D&D, these two have:<br>-Shrugged off a death spell (at level 1)<br>-Defeated a CR 3 Giant Crocodile at level 2, where it could have killed them instantly had it ever landed a hit<br>-flawlessly quaffed half-orc "Firewater" without suffering damage<br>-destroyed an entire hive of giant wasps (at level 3) suffering only 3 hits<br>-caused me to completely change the direction of the campaign due to their meddling with the too-high-to-fight antagonists<br>-constantly roll 20s | ||||||||||||||
167 | Decker Shado | Demonic Toys 2 Movie Review | A group of people on a world wide search for oddities find themselves trapped in a nine hundred year old Italian castle when they accident unleash the Demonic Toys. It was 20 years since the first movie and this was what they come up with? Wish David Goyer came back to write this one. I was rooting for this one to be good but was disappointed. The toys looked good. Especially the Jack in the Box Clown, real creepy and cool. The acting was pretty campy. They definitely knew they were in a Full Moon movie. Bad but normal for this group. I'm used to it. In all, this movie is not totally Unwatchable. It's the worst Demonic Toys movie I've seen so far but not the worst thing ever | ||||||||||||||
168 | Decker Shado | Some days you just can't get rid of a Blog. Movie Review | A quick update that as I type this, is suffering under a ridiculously slow upload pace. Almost as if it is trying to taunt me, it tells me at 59%, (I had to re-initialize, it wasn't moving) that now it will take 10 hours to finish. Well, after typing that sentence, now 3 hours. Point is - this file size (2 gigs, approx) should take my connection 2 hours at most for the entirety. ANYWAY - I have several topics I neglected from the last update, as well as a few new events to bring up. Such as.. Aliens: Colonial Marines. Don't worry, that's the first thing I bring up in the video. | ||||||||||||||
169 | Decker Shado | Zombie Dearest Movie Review | A zombie movie considered good enough that it won best horror feature at the 2010 Atlanta Underground Film Festival, but does that make it a grand movie overall, or is it just a lifeless husk with no soul that somehow is hobbling along? | ||||||||||||||
170 | Decker Shado | Cowboy Bebop The Movie Movie Review | After Cowboy Bebop aired it's final episode, Sunrise had already begun production on the Cowboy Bebop movie, "knockin' on heaven's door." Changing halfway in to become a 2 hour movie instead of the originally planned 90 minutes, Cowboy Bebop strived to appeal to fans as well as newcomers.. but just how well was this balancing act pulled off? | ||||||||||||||
171 | Decker Shado | The Stuff Movie Review | A commentary video of my review of The Stuff, another "classic" review from my series. Listen on as I rant about the good ol' days, yogurt, and long haired creepy guys. | ||||||||||||||
172 | Decker Shado | Dark Floors Movie Review | The Lordi motion picture, Dark Floors was the pinnacle of the aftermath of Lordi's victory in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. A psychological horror film starring the monsters of metal, Dark Floors' story was actually the idea of Mr. Lordi himself - however, the final production didn't wow audiences the same way the band's music had. Was there something more to this movie, or are these floors best left in the dark? | ||||||||||||||
173 | Decker Shado | The second "episode" of Decker and Dragons, and the first one to be planned, in any sense. Not exactly the plan that I had in mind for the second ep, but still, there was much more time to prepare this one.<br><br>Decker runs into trouble when he finds himself short on adventures for the duo of unstoppable players. A quick fix for this situation proves to be anything but - and Decker must struggle between keeping his players happy, and keeping his sanity.<br><br>Oh! And to all those wondering "where the heck's the movie reviews?!" ...soon. | |||||||||||||||
174 | Decker Shado | Final Enounter Movie Review | Presented by Miramax, Final Encounter (also known as For the Cause, and Warhammer) is a low budget sci-fi action romp, depicting a planet where two factions battle in a century long war. After so much conflict, and so little money to show us what's happening, how will this movie leave you feeling? And just what in the hell were they fighting over? | ||||||||||||||
175 | Decker Shado | I am Omega Movie Review | The Asylum's take, or rather complete rip off, of I am Legend uses much more of the source material than most Asylum films try to get away with. However, as they're not relying too much on their own creativity to support this one, how does it hold up against the rest of their library? | ||||||||||||||
176 | Decker Shado | Chopping Mall Movie Review | In celebration of the most celebrated all-American holiday, Black Friday, we take a look at a lovely 80s B grade horror movie set in the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Chopping Mall was the second edit of Julie Corman's production "Killbots." Does this robotic slasher flick do anything new for the genre, or would we have all been better off if the movie had only been released once? | ||||||||||||||
177 | Decker Shado | The Great Nug/The Tirshahms Movie Review | It's a review of the web shorts The Great Nug and The Tirshahms. Watching this review is only slightly shorter than watching the videos themselves.. but hey, you are just dying to hear my opinion, aren't you? ..no? | ||||||||||||||
178 | Decker Shado | Snowbeast Movie Review | With winter around the corner, we take a look at a 1977 made for tv horror movie, Snowbeast, that bears some resemblence to another film of that decade. A ski resort in Colorado is tormented by a killer yeti, but does that provide enough to give this movie it's own spin? | ||||||||||||||
179 | Decker Shado | Adrenalin Fear the Rush Movie Review | A 1996 science fiction film about the hell we will face in the mystical year of 2007, Adrenalin: Fear the Rush depicts the world as a wasteland of disease. Or does it? I've watched it several times and I still can't tell - however, is there something to enjoy in this sickening film? | ||||||||||||||
180 | Decker Shado | 2012 Supernova Movie Review | The second film from The Asylum ripping off 2012, 2012 Supernova story wise seems less a rip off of 2012, and more of Armogeddon... but nevertheless, How does this foray into saving the Earth from a world destroying sellar blast do? Oh who am I kidding, this is The Asylum. | ||||||||||||||
181 | Decker Shado | The Apocalypse Movie Review | Yeah, after 2 reviews of films ripping off 2012, here's another end of days movie that actually doesn't have anything to do with 2012, yet somehow it is exactly the same. Even better, this is a Faith Films production, so we get to see how it's not important whatsoever to lift a finger to try to stop the end of the world, as we should all spend our final hours talking to our invisible buddy in the sky. | ||||||||||||||
182 | Decker Shado | Top 10 Predator Kills Movie Review | By popular demand, I give my personal top 10 list of Predator kills, as seen in the movies. As the Yautja are the galaxy's most powerful hunters - just what prey managed to make the top 10? Or perhaps more importantly, what sits at number 1? | ||||||||||||||
183 | Decker Shado | Evil Bong 3D Movie Review | The third movie of the Evil Bong franchise, Charles Band's Evil Bong 3D is the only film by Full Moon Features to ever be released to a theater. Does that mean it stands up well above the rest of Band's movies? No.. but perhaps what it holds can surprise us. | ||||||||||||||
184 | Decker Shado | Prometheus Movie Review | The latest film in the Alien franchise, (as of this writeup) and the earliest film in the timeline, Prometheus sought to answer questions we've had since the beginning, about the origins of the Xenomorph. Further, the movie itself explores the questions of the origins of life itself. And more questions, and more questions. Lots and lots of questions, really. Answers? Good question. | ||||||||||||||
185 | Decker Shado | Demolition Man Movie Review | From 1993, Demolition Man brought Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes to the mystical futuristic year of 2032 (from the mystical futuristic year of 1996) to turn society on it's head. Seen as a poorly executed action movie lacking a serious tone during it's release, has time treated the film better than the cryo prison? Or like Simon Phoenix, is it even worse than we remember it? | ||||||||||||||
186 | Decker Shado | Alien Origin Movie Review | The Asylum's rip-off of Prometheus, Alien Origin is a peculiar beast in itself. Perhaps the most different from the source movie of any of their cheap knock-offs, Alien Origin was inexplicably filmed as a found footage movie. While this works to The Asylum's low budget favorably, that doesn't mean it came out perfectly. In fact.. it doesn't mean it came out good, at all. | ||||||||||||||
187 | Decker Shado | C.H.U.D. Movie Review | A cult classic from 1984, C.H.U.D. is the whimsical tale of a mutated race of people living below the streets in sewers and abandoned tunnels, whom occasionally like to bring folks down to their place for dinner. As the police learn of their existence, a horror movie plays out - but in this generic backdrop for a low budget horror movie, can it keep your interest, or are you better off avoiding these streets? | ||||||||||||||
188 | Decker Shado | C.H.U.D. 2 Movie Review | Released five years after the original C.H.U.D., Bud the C.H.U.D. was originally meant for a theatrical release but instead went straight to VHS. None of the original writers, producers, actors, or concepts made it into the sequel. So how is it a sequel you ask? It says C.H.U.D. 2, doesn't it? That's about it. Anyhow, is there more to this oddly out of place zombie flick than it's predecessor.. or should we be glad this film never got to see the silver screen? | ||||||||||||||
189 | Decker Shado | The Quest Movie Review | The Quest (1996) was an attempt by Jean-Claude Van Damme to re-capture the glory he attained via the hit movie Bloodsport. Co-written by himself and Frank Dux, Van Damme stars in and directs this tale of an American man who finds himself in the midst of an underground martial arts tournament, aided by friends such as the blonde newslady he just met he must... wait a minute... | ||||||||||||||
190 | Decker Shado | Class of 1999 Movie Review | The sequel to the unexpected hit Class of 1984, Class of 1999 tries to keep the basic hyper punk and high school theme, while giving the series a heavy dose of science fiction. Evidently that wasn't a good move, as this film bombed at the box office - but is there more to this than meets the eye? Or perhaps, should it have been left in the 20th century and been forgotten? | ||||||||||||||
191 | Decker Shado | Nature Unleashed Fire Movie Review | Produced by Nu Image, Fire is but part of their many Nature Unleashed films. If this is anything to go by though, nature, or even proper factual science has next to nothing to do with the events that transpire. However, strict adherence to realism isn't a marker for good entertainment.. so how does it fare in that regard? | ||||||||||||||
192 | Decker Shado | Gappa the Triphibian Monsters Movie Review | During the height of the Japanese giant monster movie mania, several studios tried their hand at their own monster, occasionally making several movies and having some success with the genre. Gappa: The Triphibian Monsters, is not one of those examples. After it's release, the studio that made it nearly went under, and it faded into obscurity.. however, it's seen a more recent resurgence in it's home country as sort of a cult classic. So how does the butcherd english dub stand up, today? | ||||||||||||||
193 | Decker Shado | The Devil's Hand Movie Review | A classic from 1962, The Devil's Hand is a psychological horror from back when psychological horror was the common theme. Mixing voodoo dolls with devil worship and black magic in a way that only Hollywood can, it certainly shows it's age in 2013. However, is there more to this movie than tropes and stereotypes? No. Then again, is it entertaining? | ||||||||||||||
194 | Decker Shado | Driven to Kill Movie Review | A Steven Seagal movie from 2009, Driven to Kill is the story of a man who is forced to seek revenge for violence against his lover, and their daughter. Fortunately, this man happens to be an ex-russian mobster and Steven Seagal. This may sound like a generic action movie plot, but that's simply because that's exactly what it is. However... what quality does it hold, when all is said and done? And shot.. and stabbed... | ||||||||||||||
195 | Decker Shado | Hard to Kill Movie Review | Week two of the Summer of Steven Seagal, and we're looking at the second movie he was the leading man in, Hard to Kill. Being Seagal, we already knew he was difficult to be made to die, but moviegoers in 1990 still had to learn that about him. They also learned he didn't do so well when it came to expressing emotion. However, is there more to this movie than this, or should I regret digging this one up after 23 years? | ||||||||||||||
196 | Decker Shado | Out for a Kill Movie Review | Week 3 of the Summer of Steven Seagal is in full swing, with his 2003 straight to video release Out for a Kill. In it Seagal plays a very different character, an archaeologist of all things. He plays this character as if it were a character played by Seagal, as he single handedly kills off an entire super-syndicate without even suffering a bruise thanks to his expert knowledge from the orient. So, as we've established it's clearly a Seagal movie, how does it stack against the others? | ||||||||||||||
197 | Decker Shado | Kill Switch Movie Review | Continuing the Summer of Steven Seagal, we look at a movie from 2008 written by the man himself. Obviously.. He's the most celebrated detective in the country, has a beautiful wife, his beautiful wife dies, and he single handedly stops not one, but TWO serial killers! Aside from how ridiculous it all is, how does it fare as a movie in it's own right? | ||||||||||||||
198 | Decker Shado | The Glimmer Man Movie Review | The Summer of Steven Seagal continues with a buddy cop movie co-starring Keenen Ivory Wayans. Seagal portrays the character we've seen a hundred times before, while Wayans is actually very different than his usual self. However, this movie clearly bombed at the box office and critics have already panned it. Of course.. that doesn't tell the whole story, so just how does it stand up, today? | ||||||||||||||
199 | Decker Shado | On Deadly Ground Movie Review | Week 6 of The Summer of Steven Seagal brings us to the one and only film the man directed himself, On Deadly Ground. Set in Alaska, Seagal plays Forrest Taft, a whatever thingy with Seagal powers that must go against the EVIL EVIL EEEEEVIL Oil company, that is drilling for EVIL money to fund their EVIL empire of EVIL. You could say they were depicted a bit less than believable.. But was it at least entertaining? | ||||||||||||||
200 | Decker Shado | Black Dawn Movie Review | Week seven of the Summer of Steven Seagal brings us to his 2005 offering, Black Dawn. In this basic action movie where Seagal must stop terrorists who of course have no problem securing a nuclear device, and rogue agents whom want them to have the nuke for some strange reason... Seagal's presence is somewhat famous in this film due to him not being involved in a good amount of the shoot. So.. how does it do? Oh who am I kidding.. how bad is it? | ||||||||||||||
201 | Decker Shado | Out for Justice Movie Review | I know, I know, I said I'd review The Foreigner this week as the Summer of Steven Seagal continues. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I was unable to get the movie in time. Therefore, I have to present to you, Out for Justice. Seagal plays Gino, a police officer with a checkered past who happens to be the best in the world. His partner is shot, and he spends the next 90 minutes trying to find and kill the man responsible. That's... pretty much it. | ||||||||||||||
202 | Decker Shado | The Foreigner Movie Review | Yes, the DVD finally arrived. No, it wasn't worth the wait. Yes, I realize it was only a one week wait.<br><br>The Foreigner, with Steven Seagal, pits the man against various mercenaries all hired to get a package. Of course, they were all hired by the same people so.. shouldn't they be on the same page? Oh, and this is the movie of which Black Dawn is a sequel. Does that explain things any better? Spoiler alert: Nope! | ||||||||||||||
203 | Decker Shado | Against the Dark Movie Review | Who says you can't have horror in a summer series? And who thought that inserting Steven Seagal into a zombie apocalypse was a remotely good idea?! Against the Dark pits Seagal against a world of vampires. Vampires that happen to not think, and eat flesh... so zombies. But they call them vampires. Usually. | ||||||||||||||
204 | Decker Shado | Under Siege Movie Review | Things were supposed to go happy and smooth up in Minnesota, but noooo.. James had to bring up Under Siege, starring Steven Seagal. Apparently there is a rule that you don't know anything about Seagal until you've watched this movie. I don't know who wrote it, but I think it's a pretty silly rule. Nevertheless, I've watched it now, so what do I think? It's a Seagal movie. | ||||||||||||||
205 | Decker Shado | Next-Gen Post Launch Rant Movie Review | So how did the holiday season treat all the new consoles? I don't know. I don't have any numbers. But what I do have is unsubstantiated claims! Yay! | ||||||||||||||
206 | Decker Shado | Under Siege 2 Movie Review | Summer of Steven Seagal raps up with Under Siege 2. Yes, it was worth having that in full caps. Today, we take a look at the sequel to Seagal's best work, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. Effectively Under Siege on land, Under Siege 2 makes a lot of the same mistakes many sequels do. However.. in an action movie, does that matter quite so much? | ||||||||||||||
207 | Decker Shado | Executive Decision Movie Review | To cleanse my soul of the Summer of Seagal, I've decided to review an action movie starring an actor I like, Kurt Russell in Executive Decision. Set in the highly unlikely scenario of middle eastern terrorists hijacking an airplane to use as a weapon of war against the US, Kurt is an intelligence officer who somehow ends up on the same airplane, along with an antiterrorism squad. It's not so easy though, as they have to wait for the perfect time to strike... for.. over 2 hours... | ||||||||||||||
208 | Decker Shado | Night of the Blood Beast Movie Review | A Roger Corman production from 1958, Night of the Blood Beast is a classic in B movies. Not so much for being a diamond in the rough, or even a competent attempt at filmmaking, but it's infamous reputation as a horrifying low budget train wreck. However, does this do it justice, or is there really more to see here? | ||||||||||||||
209 | Decker Shado | Gammera the Invincible Movie Review | The Gamera Marathon has begun! Taking a look at the film that started it all... or at least the dubbed, re-shot, re-edited American release of it, Gammera: The Invincible. No, that's not a typo. That's actually how it's spelled in this version. | ||||||||||||||
210 | Decker Shado | Gamera vs Barugon Movie Review | The second week of Gamera Marathon, we review the film with the Kaiju monster (in)famous for their rainbow beam of death! Gamera vs Barugon is balanced a bit differently than your usual monster movie, but is that for the better or not? Only one way to find out... | ||||||||||||||
211 | Decker Shado | Gamera vs Gyaos Movie Review | Also known as Gamera vs Gaos, and Return of the Giant Monsters, Gamera vs Gyaos introduces us to what ends up becoming Gamera's most noteworthy villain. As this is the first Gamera film I've reviewed since the original to spawn a legacy, is that justified? Or were the creators just that pleased with making their own Rodan to care at this point? | ||||||||||||||
212 | Decker Shado | Gamera vs Viras Movie Review | Also known as Destroy all Planets, Gamera vs Viras shows that as early as the 4th movie of the original 8 film Gamera series, they were already running out of ideas. Seemingly taking several pages from the Godzilla film Destroy all Monsters plotwise, what the budget didn't allow the producers to fill in they simply made up for with liberal use of stock footage. This amounts to quite a strange feature... but is there a silver lining to this cloud? | ||||||||||||||
213 | Decker Shado | Doll Graveyard Movie Review | Another killer doll movie by the grandmaster of schlock, Charles Band, Doll Graveyard is an hour long tale about a small group of dolls attacking a small group of teenagers who happen to be drinking, doing drugs and having sex. It's not exactly an original idea, you could say... but it's not like Charles Band and Full Moon have no experience with deadly dolls, after the Puppet Master and Demonic Toys series. However.. that doesn't mean that this is automatically good either... | ||||||||||||||
214 | Decker Shado | The Typing of the Dead Overkill Movie Review | The Typing of the Dead: Overkill changes The House of the Dead: Overkill into an ultraviolent educational typing tutor. While this may seem odd, Sega's first foray into this territory was 14 years ago with the original Typing of the Dead game. After such a hiatus from Mario Teaches Zombie Survival, how does the latest entry in the series fare? | ||||||||||||||
215 | Decker Shado | Equilibrium Movie Review | A Christian Bale movie that has graced many a bargain bin DVD rack, Equilibrium was an attempt by Miramax to capitalize on the success of The Matrix with their own dystopian future science fiction action movie. However, due to it's amazing run in Europe, they decided to do the American release as cheaply as possible to ensure they won't lose that profit. With a 20 million dollar budget, it's not the most flashy science fiction film of the decade, but how does it use it's assets? And by the way.. just what is the story anyhow? | ||||||||||||||
216 | Decker Shado | Horror Express Movie Review | A classic from 1972, Horror Express paired Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing on the trans-siberian railway with a frozen killer. Or a fossil, can't quite tell with the presentation.. but it's evil! Or extra-terrestrial. Wait, what? | ||||||||||||||
217 | Decker Shado | Gut Movie Review | A very low budget film released to 30 film festivals in 2012, Gut is the story of two friends who have drifted apart in adulthood, but begin spending time together when one of them acquires a series of snuff films. However, things escalate quickly as it turns out the videos look so real for good reason... Being so low budget, will this turn out just about as well as any movie I've reviewed that turned out to be from a film festival - or will I finally be pleasantly surprised? | ||||||||||||||
218 | Decker Shado | War of the Worlds 2 Movie Review | Oh boy, another Asylum film. This is not the original Asylum War of the Worlds movie that put them on the map, but the sequel. ...so another result of their success, designed to go forth and spread pain and misery while reaping money for the studio. Or something like that anyway. Oh, this is a review, right? You want to hear about how good the movie is, don't you? ...you've never seen an Asylum film before, have you? | ||||||||||||||
219 | Decker Shado | Nature Unleashed Avalanche Movie Review | As part of the Nature Unleashed Series by Nu Image films, Avalanche is a generic action movie... where the main threat is an avalanche! What a kicker, am I right? There really isn't much more to say about the plot structure in this film, the characters are basic and the setting doesn't exist in reality.. it was just made up to fit the plot. Much like the behavior of avalanches. However, do they at least eke out a good movie in all this mess? | ||||||||||||||
220 | Decker Shado | The Children Movie Review | A 2008 Christmastime horror movie, The Children is what you would expect. A tale of murderous things noted by what follows "The" in the title. Yes, that's right - killer children! This concept sounds like it would be stupid camp, but actually this English film plays the concept a lot more seriously than that. However, does it succeed in that regard? | ||||||||||||||
221 | Decker Shado | Dungeons and Dragons Movie Review | The 2000 movie of the classic tabletop RPG, Dungeons and Dragons disappointed the world when it first arrived. Years later, it's still remembered as one of the worst movies ever made, having been nominated for 11 Stinker's Bad Movie Awards. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if there's anything DnD has taught me, it's that beholders have dozens of eyes. And they will kill you. So what do I think of this little romp through fantasy role playing with Justin Whalin and Marlon Wayans? | ||||||||||||||
222 | Decker Shado | Deranged Movie Review | The 1974 film adaptation of the crimes of Ed Gein, not necessarily made as a movie inspired from them like Psycho or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but actually attempting to be an accurate depiction of the real events. And it was the most accurate movie up until the 2010 Ed Gein film, so why is it likely the only movie I've brought up in this writeup you haven't heard of, even if you've seen the others? Let's find out, shall we? | ||||||||||||||
223 | Decker Shado | DragonQuest Movie Review | It figures. Of all the media out there called DragonQuest, I get the one made by The Asylum. Yep, so to answer your question it's a rip-off of Eragon. No, actually that doesn't spoil the movie. However, the title DragonQuest pretty well does. There's not much going on in it. However, does it have some redeeming qualities? | ||||||||||||||
224 | Decker Shado | Deadfall Trail Movie Review | When two indie filmmakers were raising funds to make a movie and only got about 100k to work with, instead of forcing a high budget idea out in low budget form they instead made an entirely new idea with those funds in mind. This is how Deadfall Trail came to be, a movie that is nothing but woodlands and three guys out on a survival kick. While certainly we'd expect the actors and locations to be few... what about the plot? The motivations? Are these as important to a film, or can we accept them missing in action as well? | ||||||||||||||
225 | Decker Shado | Gamera Guardian of the Universe Movie Review | It's time for Revenge of Gamera-Thon! With Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, the 1995 reboot of the classic Kaiju icon. This film set to rebuild the creature to be very different from the fun little turtle that raced kids in submarines, turning him into a total badass monster killer designed to be a 200 foot tall walking weapon of the ancients. How much does this change effect Gamera overall, as a character and as a series? Only one way to find out! | ||||||||||||||
226 | Decker Shado | Monkeybone Movie Review | The lost episode from October 2013, finally available to the public due to various threats Creepy has made to Decker's safety! Here we take a look at Monkeybone, a film adaptation of Dark Town that went through one hell of a rewrite during production and somehow ended up starring Brendan Fraiser. Really? | ||||||||||||||
227 | Decker Shado | Gamera 2 Advent of Legion Movie Review | Also known as Attack of the Legion, Gamera 2 is the tenth Gamera movie, and the second of the Heisei era films. While the first was near perfect, it was flawed in that the human characters were so insignificant they seemed pointless. However, Gamera 2 solves that issue by making the human characters so effective and important, it's now Gamera that seems unnecessary. So how does this entry to the Kaiju genre fare? | ||||||||||||||
228 | Decker Shado | PMS Cop Movie Review | PMS COP is the story of Mary, a police officer, who after being caught on television beating a rapist, is forced into an evil Pharmaceutical Company's drug trial for a PMS inhibitor known as Corybantic. After a tragic event Mary suffers a horrific side effect, and with her new found superhuman strength, she begins to systematically take out her vengeance on everyone in her path! Will Mary fight against her inner urge to destroy or could she become the first of a new secret weapons program designed by an evil corporation? | ||||||||||||||
229 | Decker Shado | Gamera Revenge of Iris Movie Review | The third and final film in the Heisei Gamera series, Revenge of Iris came three years after the second, which is an unusually long time for a Kaiju series. This film has many returning actors from the first, and a big boost to the quality of the special effects. The second film is only briefly mentioned in this however.. and how exactly does this film handle the balance between making the human characters useful, but keeping the monsters strong enough to be a threat and ensure Gamera is useful? Only one way to see... | ||||||||||||||
230 | Decker Shado | Gamera The Brave Movie Review | The finale of Revenge of Gamerathon is finally here, with a review of Gamera the Brave! This 2006 reinvention of the iconic Kaiju sought to recapture the glory days of Gamera movies being heavily geared towards younger audiences. As such, it was directed by Ryuta Tazaki, known for his work on Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, and the live action series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. This Gamera movie obviously is a lot more light-hearted, with intentionally over the top acting from the human characters with questionable motives... and is not praised very much by the legions of Gamera fans, especially those fond of the Heisei series. However.. just how good is it? Or.. isn't it? - clarification: In the credits, Gamera the Brave is listed as owned by Toho. It was actually owned and distributed by Kadokawa Pictures. | ||||||||||||||
231 | Decker Shado | Hard Target Movie Review | The first John Woo film produced in Hollywood, Hard Target starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lance Henrickson was an interesting first impression. It had brilliant direction by Woo, despite the fact that he couldn't get Van Damme to listen to him on set. Rumors abound to this day that the movie was supposed to be much longer and delve into Henrickson's character, and it had to be re-edited several times due to excessive violence pushing it beyond an R rating. After so much done against the director's vision... how does it stand up? | ||||||||||||||
232 | Decker Shado | When you saw the original Dungeons & Dragons movie, did it make you wish to Pelor or Olidammara that another would be made? Well consider that wish not granted, as this film is vastly different from the first. However, if you're a D&D fan who hated the film for having the name but nothing else.. you may be in luck! Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God sticks a lot closer to the source material. Unfortunately, the budget and release were severely limited, being a Syfy made for TV movie. Nevertheless, how does it hold up as a movie, and as a proper tale of D&D? | |||||||||||||||
233 | Decker Shado | Alien Movie Review | The classic 1979 sci-fi horror movie Alien, revisited for your viewing pleasure! Yes, it's one that everyone has reviewed at some point, including me. In fact, I reviewed it so long ago it's not even counted on my list of episodes. So... why not review it again? Well, because I don't like too much repetition. Still, there is quite a lot that I have still to say about this movie. | ||||||||||||||
234 | Decker Shado | Cutie Honey Movie Review | Due to certain circumstances, Creepy has decided to make my show useful in preparing me for the planned trip to Japan. To this cause, he has provided for review the 2004 film adaptation of Cutie Honey. A balls-to-the-wall over the top action movie, where most of the characters don't have any - but they do have superpowers! Mostly those involving wearing as little as possible. Wait.. how could I not like this movie? | ||||||||||||||
235 | Decker Shado | Godzilla 2014 Movie Review | Hey, I got to see the 2014 Godzilla film after all! ...a tad late, but still. | ||||||||||||||
236 | Decker Shado | Cypher Movie Review | Another film attempting to make a profit off of the popularity of The Matrix, Cypher was a Miramax funded low budget espionage film from 2002. How does that make it a Matrix rip-off? Well, it doesn't really. Technology is a huge part of the world, but because of the low budget that's mostly behind the scenes. On the surface, it's all spy vs spy of the two big companies. Don't worry about the people getting caught in the crossfire though, EVERYONE is a spy. | ||||||||||||||
237 | Decker Shado | From Hell Movie Review | Based on the graphic novel based on the killings of Jack the Ripper, From Hell stars Johnny Depp as the investigator leading the case in the Whitechapel murders. How closely does it match the actual history of the case though? Well.. let's put it this way.. if it took place on Mars, it would be just about as true to history. | ||||||||||||||
238 | Decker Shado | Sex Pot Movie Review | In the tradition of a 4:20 special for my show, how about a review of Sex Pot, the Asylum's sex themed rip off of Half Baked? ...well horror and sci-fi films with heavy marijuana themes are kind of rare, you know. Anyway! Sex Pot is the tale of two idiots who desperately want to lose their virginity, but are really picky about what does or does not count. They also have some weed that makes women go crazy - so they set up another arbitrary achievement as that's just too easy. Oy... | ||||||||||||||
239 | Decker Shado | Akira Movie Review | The 1988 anime film that helped create the demand for the genre in America, Akira was based on the long running Manga series of the same name. Famously shunned by big names like George Lucas as being unmarketable, it's still remembered for being remarkable - and very strange. Some love it, some hate it - but what do I think of it? Oh you know you're supposed to click on the video to learn that part. | ||||||||||||||
240 | Decker Shado | Aliens Movie Review | How do you make a sequel that's so good, people argue over if it or the original were better for years to come? One idea is to try doing something very different than the first. At least this way, the film is not simply "The Movie: Again" and you have a chance to expand the universe in smart ways. Such is the case with Aliens, directed by James Cameron. While not straight horror like it's predecessor, it helped flesh out the setting a lot more and gave us a bunch of depth for the creatures in question. So... what do I have to say about it? Besides all that, I mean. | ||||||||||||||
241 | Decker Shado | Godzilla King of the Monsters Movie Review | This week, we look at the unoriginal original Godzilla film! As the 1954 production had to be "Americanized" before it was released in the majority of theaters on this side. So while this takes the original movie and tells the original story, it is anything but the original version. Nevertheless, how does Hollywood fare inserting Raymond Burr into the first major Kaiju film? ...how do you think? | ||||||||||||||
242 | Decker Shado | The Beastmaster Movie Review | Released in 1982, The Beastmaster came out in the wake of Conan the Barbarian. Despite this, it didn't get much praise during it's theatrical run. However, subsequent airings on cable TV granted the film a cult following that has grown over the years. So in this tale of swords, sorcery, barbarism and boobs - there yet remains one question that must be answered... is it really worth watching? | ||||||||||||||
243 | Decker Shado | 8 Man Movie Review | Back in 1992, when robotic police were the "thing," 8 Man sought to ride the coattails of Robocop, despite the truth being that the original 8 Man manga and anime series came out much, MUCH earlier. Still, as this was the only live action film adaptation to take place, it ended up being compared to Robocop more often than not. Especially in America, where most of the people weren't familiar with the original series. Nevertheless, it's 8 Man! And.. um.. wait, what is this movie even about? | ||||||||||||||
244 | Decker Shado | Alien 3 Movie Review | Alien Cubed, where we glimpse into the square root of all evil! Or not, as I'm just making things up. The point is, a lot of decisions were done on the fly in this movie, which was put together in such a haphazard self-destructive way, it's actually very impressive that it turned out as well as it did. That's not to say it turned out great, though... | ||||||||||||||
245 | Decker Shado | Merlin and the War of the Dragons Movie Review | So I find myself at the mercy of YouTube's unpredictable nature? Well may as well dive in head first by tackling an Asylum movie as soon as possible! This week, I bring you Merlin and the War of the Dragons. Strangely though, this almost comes off as a semi decent movie, going by the cast. They're not all great, heck there's not even all good... but some performances stand out in ways you don't usually see in Asylum movies. Sadly, this does little to change the fact that at it's heart, this is still an asylum film. | ||||||||||||||
246 | Decker Shado | The Guyver Movie Review | What happens when one person wants to make an awesome movie about a Japanese series they love, but everyone else on the project wants to turn it into a generic kid's movie? Well.. THIS. Guyver! Starring Mark Hamill - they even have him on the DVD cover as if he himself is the Guyver! But he's not. Yay for deceptive marketing tactics... | ||||||||||||||
247 | Decker Shado | Alien Resurrection Movie Review | Proving that no matter how bad an idea, if someone in a suit thinks a character is absolutely necessary for a franchise, even killing them off isn't good enough to prevent them from insisting they be used. Thus, we got Alien Resurrection, where bringing the Xenomorph back from extinction honestly took a backseat to getting Mrs. Weaver to reprise her role as Ripley yet again. While this one didn't have quite the production hell to worry about that the third film did, that's not to say it went much smoother... | ||||||||||||||
248 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser Movie Review | The horror classic from the famous horror writer, Clive Barker's Hellraiser was the film adaptation of his own novella, The Hellbound Heart. Interestingly enough, there were still many differences between the book and the movie, even though he wrote and directed this too. It's enough to make you wonder.. how well does the film hold up today? | ||||||||||||||
249 | Decker Shado | Hellbound Hellraiser II Movie Review | Movie studios are known for pumping out sequels, but it's still rare to see one that was greenlit well before the original made a profit as Hellraiser had yet to be released. Nevertheless, many of those details that Clive couldn't fit into the first movie spilled over into Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Unfortunately though, despite coming out only one year later, not all the actors returned to reprise their roles... So.. plans changed. | ||||||||||||||
250 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser III Movie Review | In 1992, Hell would come.. to EARTH! Which gives two options. Los Angeles, or New York? More importantly.. how would it come together, as Miramax now held the rights to the franchise? Clive Barker had the least influence of any Hellraiser movie yet, and almost none of the previous characters are even mentioned in this one. That... makes me worry... | ||||||||||||||
251 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser III Movie Review | In 1992, Hell would come.. to EARTH! Which gives two options. Los Angeles, or New York? More importantly.. how would it come together, as Miramax now held the rights to the franchise? Clive Barker had the least influence of any Hellraiser movie yet, and almost none of the previous characters are even mentioned in this one. That... makes me worry... | ||||||||||||||
252 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser Bloodline Movie Review | The fourth and final Hellraiser film to be shown in theaters, Bloodline looks like it might have sought to be a new trilogy, as it's story is much more ambitious than your usual 90 minute flick. However, if they did that, then we'd have to wait quite a while for our Pinhead, and we can't have that. Surely, having Pinhead appear in the first second is far more important than coherent storytelling, or even keeping studio meddling down far enough so the director DOESN'T walk off set in anger. Surely. | ||||||||||||||
253 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser Inferno Movie Review | After the Hellraiser series left theaters, never to return.. Inferno would come out some years later, straight to video. However, it's hard to say what inspired this movie, as it feels nothing like a Hellraiser film. Instead, it's kind of a psychological horror murder mystery, and in fact, could easily work without Pinhead or any reference to Hellraiser at all. Probably because that's how it was originally written... they just slapped Pinhead in there and viola! 5th film! Oh dear... | ||||||||||||||
254 | Decker Shado | Don't Look in the Basement Movie Review | A classic horror from 1973, presented as a double feature with Last House on the Left, Don't Look in the Basement (or it's alternate title, The Forgotten) is a low budget horror movie set in an Asylum. The premise is interesting, but the twists more than obvious. However, does the acting and presentation make up for that? | ||||||||||||||
255 | Decker Shado | Guyver Dark Hero Movie Review | A mere three years after the live action Guyver movie disappointed the world, Guyver Dark Hero would be released. Not because the original was some kind of success that demanded a sequel, but the original brains behind the film really wanted to do a good job with it, and sought to right the wrongs this time around. For starters, the old cast is gone and replaced with brand new faces, even for returning characters. It really is a clean slate.. but then, was it really a better execution? | ||||||||||||||
256 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser Hellseeker Movie Review | The second straight to video Hellraiser film, Hellseeker sought to... hell? Maybe! The original script was yet again not written as a Hellraiser movie, but they shoehorned Kirsty Cotton into this one, so... take the bad with the bad? | ||||||||||||||
257 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser Deader Movie Review | The seventh film in the Hellraiser franchise, which strangely due to odd distribution rights tends to get sold on it's own (while you can get a 4 pack of 4,5,6 and 8) Hellraiser Deader is the story about how someone tried to make a semi interesting psychological horror film with elements of Lovecraft, only to have the script picked up by Miramax and be turned into a Hellraiser movie no matter the cost. There's no stopping the rampage of the puzzle box now... it's Hellraiser: Deader. | ||||||||||||||
258 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser Hellworld Movie Review | After being drug through the mud for the last 3 films, the 8th film in the Hellraiser franchise sought to bury the series. At least, that's what it looks like in Hellraiser Hellworld, where 5 generic friends embark on a generic adventure towards a generic horror where generic terror awaits them. To top it all off... Lance Henrickson will be there. | ||||||||||||||
259 | Decker Shado | Kamen Rider The First Movie Review | Kamen Rider "The First" was certainly not the original of the 30ish year old series when it came out in 2005, but it was trying to represent the original continuity for a new audience. However, while the original series was aimed more at children, the new audience the studio seemed to be after included adults.. adults who seemingly don't care much for tokusatsu. They do however, love them some drama. Oh boy... | ||||||||||||||
260 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser Revelations Movie Review | The final movie in the Hellraiser franchse (as of 2014) Hellraiser Revelations was... oh screw it. Dimension films needed to keep the rights to the series, and threw this together over a weekend for just that purpose. Infamously it has a different actor portray Pinhead, but it also is the first Hellraiser in YEARS to actually be written as a Hellraiser movie. How bad could it be? ...it's Revelations. | ||||||||||||||
261 | Decker Shado | Predator Movie Review | Deep in the jungles of miscellaneous Spanish-speaking country, an alien presence hunts and kills. That's pretty much the entire plot right there. Still, this film is a classic for many reasons.. three of the main cast ended up as politicians, the filming was delayed 8 months while the predator was extensively redesigned, and most interestingly... critics kind of thought the film was "meh" when it came out. | ||||||||||||||
262 | Decker Shado | Route 666 Movie Review | On a short ride, you may very well get your kicks. However, go too far and you'll end up on the drive... FROM HELL! Something like that anyway, as Route 666 shows us that when a horrible fate befalls criminals in the distant past, they aren't the most forgiving in the afterlife. So cars, guns and zombies! What more can you ask for? Some diazepam for the cameraman, perhaps... | ||||||||||||||
263 | Decker Shado | The One Movie Review | When Jet Li tries to become The One, the only one that can stop him.. is Jet Li! Which kind of makes you think things are screwed to begin with, but don't worry! It's a movie with a multiverse aspect to it. What is The One you ask? Why.. didn't you see The Matrix? It's kind of like that, an all powerful ass kicker of CGI and wire enhanced kung fu goodness. What else is there to say? ...The soundtrack includes Drowning Pool and Papa Roach. Could say that. | ||||||||||||||
264 | Decker Shado | Mothra Movie Review | What happened at the end of The One? What was in the box? Where have I gone? Eh, that can wait. First, we must review the Kaiju classic, Mothra! Based on The Luminous Fairies and Mothra, this particular entry in the genre has been remembered through the years despite not being a guy in a lizard suit or evil. However, how does the original stack up today? | ||||||||||||||
265 | Decker Shado | Mothra Movie Review | What happened at the end of The One? What was in the box? Where have I gone? Eh, that can wait. First, we must review the Kaiju classic, Mothra! Based on The Luminous Fairies and Mothra, this particular entry in the genre has been remembered through the years despite not being a guy in a lizard suit or evil. However, how does the original stack up today?<br><br>(Re-upload to rebalance audio to acceptable levels) | ||||||||||||||
266 | Decker Shado | Godzilla vs Mothra Movie Review | After Mothra VS Godzilla, we look at Godzilla VS Mothra. No, that's not the same thing! This is a totally different movie from the Heisei era of kaiju. As such, you have that interesting mix of 80s effects and puppets, plus 90s proto CGI and.... environmentalism. Oh... great. | ||||||||||||||
267 | Decker Shado | Rebirth of Mothra Movie Review | Mothra's twin nymphs and children from the city find a lost city, as well as a giant monster that is attracted to environmental calamities. Well, this is a totally nonsensical kids film. It has the production design and narrative coherence of bad children's television from the 90s. It also has some terrible effects work, with rough computer graphics and not enough use of the really good models they actually made! | ||||||||||||||
268 | Decker Shado | Rebirth of Mothra 2 Movie Review | The second Rebirth of Mothra series review where we look at "The Undersea Battle." This battle takes place... um... it's a surprise! And we still have some very heavy-handed environmental messages in this kid's Kaiju film.. but look on the bright side, Belvera's wardrobe is even more insane. | ||||||||||||||
269 | Decker Shado | Rebirth of Mothra 3 Movie Review | To save the world, Mothra goes back in time in an attempt to defeat a younger King Ghidorah. There are some sporadically fun kaiju fights here, fun because of how silly they are. At one point Ghidorah stamps on Mothra repeatedly; at another point Mothra does a fly by and slices Ghidorah's wing in half. Did I also mention Mothra can time travel and has the ability to fly through a three-headed golden dragon as a burst of energy, turning it into ice(?) before it explodes? "Mothra, you won" they declare after this. Yeah. Just a bit. | ||||||||||||||
270 | Decker Shado | When you want to watch the Kaiju movie with the longest title, nothing beats Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack! Hailing from the Millennium era of Godzilla, this movie originally was supposed to have a much different cast of monsters... however... these were more recognizable. Does make you wonder how Baragon kept his part. | |||||||||||||||
271 | Decker Shado | Godzilla: Tokyo SOS Movie Review | Me earlier in the week: "Oh, I've got time to mow this lawn."<br>Me now: "....damn it." | ||||||||||||||
272 | Decker Shado | Godzilla Final Wars Movie Review | Godzilla VS Mothra month has come to this... Godzilla: Final Wars! The last Toho Godzilla film made to this day, it stands as quite possibly the largest kaiju movie ever made. Tons of monsters, world-spanning events, and... Godzilla JR? What the hell is that doing here? | ||||||||||||||
273 | Decker Shado | Devilman Movie Review | How will Decker get back home? What's with the space warp? Wait a minute, this is a movie review show! On that note, let's ring in the new year (so to speak) with Devilman! The film adaptation of the Go Nagai manga, Devilman was... not... well received. But why is that? | ||||||||||||||
274 | Decker Shado | Nature Unleashed Earthquake Movie Review | Another "Naturesploitation" movie out of Nu Image Films, Nature Unleashed: Earthquake.. or.. Earthquake: Nature Unleashed, is a generic movie with a bit more shakey cam than usual. Of course, earthquakes are unpredictable and not an easily solved problem.. so.. they focused on an entirely different issue instead! | ||||||||||||||
275 | Decker Shado | Mulberry Street Movie Review | What's got more potential than an independent zombie movie with a budget of $60,000? Oh... crap... well anyway, this is Mulberry Street! A zombie movie about... well, crud, a synopsis doesn't really help. It's something you've just got to watch. | ||||||||||||||
276 | Decker Shado | Die Hard Movie Review | Die Hard = Viagra + jumping off a bridge back first! Why back first? Because at least then you die with a smile. :) Starring Bruce Willis as John McClaine, Die Hard was a smash hit in 1988, and spawned a series of sequels, even decades later. However, how does the original hold up today?<br><br> | ||||||||||||||
277 | Decker Shado | Kamen Rider The Next Movie Review | The Next Kamen Rider movie after The First, was Kamen Rider The Next! Well, at least it's easy to organize on a shelf. It's also NOT a drama! Wonder of wonders! | ||||||||||||||
278 | Decker Shado | Jurassic Park Movie Review | The biggest film of it's time, Jurassic Park sent Spielberg to new heights, brought Crichton back in vogue and sparked a worldwide obsession with inaccurate paleontology! The question does remain though.. has the film stood the test of time, or did it just scrape by in the first place thanks to it's flashy effects? | ||||||||||||||
279 | Decker Shado | The Lost World Jurassic Park Movie Review | The sequel to the biggest dino flick ever made, The Lost World tried to up the ante by having MORE DINOSAURS THAN EVAH and even more, a T-Rex in San Diego! Of course, it also fell victim to... wait a minute... you mean it was the same writers and director responsible? ...how in the..? | ||||||||||||||
280 | Decker Shado | Jurassic Park III Movie Review | The third and as of this posting, final released entry in the Jurassic Park series until they get around to releasing Jurassic World, Jurassic Park III had a spinosaurus. That's about as inventive as the thought processes behind this movie seemed to get. This is such a departure from the grand and complex storylines of the previous entries in the franchise, it is widely regarded as the worst Jurassic Park movie. However.. how is it as a movie itself? | ||||||||||||||
281 | Decker Shado | Age of Dinosaurs Movie Review | Just because Jurassic World isn't out yet, that doesn't mean I can't "enjoy" a movie desperately trying to be a Jurassic Park film. Who made this mockbuster? ..guess. Nevertheless, this is Age of Dinosaurs, a film about the dangers of science, the truth behind Dinosaur's Kevlar hides, and the importance of filling up at the pump. | ||||||||||||||
282 | Decker Shado | The Last Dinosaur Movie Review | The last review of Dinocember would happen to be.. The Last Dinosaur! Uploaded just in time to.. be... past December. Every time zone in fact. Well crud. Point is, this is a review of a film from 1977 that was a joint production between American and Japanese filmmakers. Sounds like the perfect "preparing for Japan" film to review and round off Dinocember! | ||||||||||||||
283 | Decker Shado | Die Hard 2 Movie Review | How do you top what is arguably one the the smartest and perhaps even the best action movies of all time? Well you don't, so don't bother trying. Instead, make something like Die Hard 2, which is fully aware that it is a sequel to a movie that it cannot possibly beat, and is totally fine with that. That's not to say the movie isn't great itself, but... well.. I articulate myself a hell of a lot better on camera, it seems. | ||||||||||||||
284 | Decker Shado | Motel Hell Movie Review | Let's try something off the wall today. A classic horror review! For this, we take a look at Motel Hell, a dark comedy with a twisted backstory about Rory Calhoun cookin' up some peculiar treats while maintaining a farm and running a motel. How many incomes does the son of a bitch need? | ||||||||||||||
285 | Decker Shado | Fire Down Below Movie Review | Long time no see, Seagal. This week, we take a look at the final movie of a set produced by Warner Bros as a contract deal with Steven Seagal. As it did extremely poorly, they weren't too keen to sign him up for any more films after this. However, what is the quality of said movie? | ||||||||||||||
286 | Decker Shado | Big Man Japan Movie Review | I've done an awful lot of Japanese movie reviews with Creepy.. more often than not, Kaiju flicks. This is a very well known genre, and is often parodied.. but what happens when you have a kaiju themed mockumentary made in Japan? Well, Big Man Japan happens. | ||||||||||||||
287 | Decker Shado | Starship Troopers Movie Review | Next time you are frightened by a spider on the wall, just be glad you haven't found yourself on Klandathu. In this review of Starship Troopers, we take a look at the extreme political angles, deep subtext and meaning.. and promptly pay no mind to any of it cause it's just a goddamn sci-fi action flick. | ||||||||||||||
288 | Decker Shado | Starship Troopers 2 Movie Review | The sequel to Starship Troopers, subtitled "Hero of the Federation" was a... the guys were trying to... there's... oh the hell with it. I can't even begin to imagine how in the hell this got greenlit. | ||||||||||||||
289 | Decker Shado | Starship Troopers 3 Movie Review | The third and final live action Starship Troopers movie, Marauder sought to bring the series back from the dark, dark low budget hell of Hero of the Federation. How'd they do? Well.. they got 2 million more dollars and also went straight to DVD. However, they managed to prove why a low budget and DVD release are no excuse for poor visual quality! They also stand as a prime example of how to alienate 100% of your audience. | ||||||||||||||
290 | Decker Shado | Travelers Dimension Police Movie Review | This month's Japanese movie review is.. Fanservice Forces vs Spacetime Jigglies! Or.. Travelers: Dimension Police. Close enough, as this multidimensional crime mystery science fiction flick seems far more interested in covering every inch of the leading lady's shapely figure in quite a lot of detail. How much fanservice then, you ask? More than the Cutey Honey movie. Way more. | ||||||||||||||
291 | Decker Shado | Eight Legged Freaks Movie Review | Eight Legged Freaks brings two things to my mind. One, the idea of normal bugs giant sized killing dozens of people is so simple.. yet seems to entertain me very much. Two, I wish someone would do this with more convincing special effects, because these bugs.. well.. in still images they're okay. I guess.. but in animation, if you don't nail the natural movement it just looks silly. Did I mention these talk like evil chipmunks? | ||||||||||||||
292 | Decker Shado | Deep Blue Sea Movie Review | With spring break approaching, and Cancun around the corner.. why not remind everyone about the massive fish with the jaws of death? No no, not from Jaws. That's a review for another day... today, we look at Deep Blue Sea, a tale of killer sharks but they get away with the fact that real sharks aren't so psycho because these are MUTANT sharks! Who knew genetic manipulation would turn sharks psycho like a slasher killer? | ||||||||||||||
293 | Decker Shado | Die Hard with a Vengeance Movie Review | In Die Hard 3: Die Hard with a Vengeance, we see that officer John McClaine of the NYPD has actually left the LAPD and come back to the NYPD! ...but there's no explanation as to how. Screw it, Samuel L Jackson is in this film! Also explosions, and Scar. | ||||||||||||||
294 | Decker Shado | Perfect Blue Movie Review | A retired pop singer turned actress' sense of reality is shaken when she is stalked by an obsessed fan and seemingly a ghost of her past. The blurred line between what is real, and what is not. A theme explored in movies such as: Repulsion, Belle de Jour, Triangle and Black Swan. A film aspect that's never been a favorite of mine. However, I found the outlier. Perfect Blue hooked me from the opening, and I was on the edge of my seat until the final credits rolled. Perfect Blue is pure insanity in an eat your heart out Darren Aronofsky type of way. It's the movie Black Swan only wished it could be. It's simply a badass flick with a lot of social commentary on the media, fame and internet usage for dummies circa 1997. At least in my mind it is. | ||||||||||||||
295 | Decker Shado | Gamera VS Guiron Movie Review | It's finally HERE! The first week's review of Gamerathon 3, Gamera VS Guiron! Watch in awe as Creepy and I tackle the classic Japanese film from Japan! ...in a hotel room. ...that we never leave... *cough* Well things could have gone better, but we've got a review to do, dangit! | ||||||||||||||
296 | Decker Shado | Gamera VS Jiger Movie Review | Another Gamera movie, another wildly designed monster for him to battle! Thus, we meet Jiger. Hailing from Wester Island but bent on destroying the Osaka World Expo '70 that has so many great things you should really check out, only Gamera can save the world...'s fair! But who can save Gamera? A couple kids. No surprises there... | ||||||||||||||
297 | Decker Shado | Live Free or Die Hard Movie Review | Hey, it's May! Therefore it's time for May's reviews. Don't worry, Gamerathon 3 will be finished. I just want to make sure I won't be behind on videos. Nevertheless, this week's review is 2007's Live Free or Die Hard. Starring Bruce Willis as John McClain, this was the first entry in the series in quite a long time. In fact, Bruce is looking quite a bit older.. because.. well, he is. But that's not important. What is, is how good the movie may or may not be... | ||||||||||||||
298 | Decker Shado | Gamera VS Zigra Movie Review | In a world where both of our monsters are totally underwater, Gamera VS Zigra does the unimaginable... alien kaiju doing battle at a heavily commercialized area! ..oh, wait. :| Yes, this is Gamera VS Zigra, brought to you by Seaworld.. pretty obviously. This also marks the last Gamera film in the Showa era.. that is, until Gamera Super Monster.... | ||||||||||||||
299 | Decker Shado | Convict 762 Movie Review | Been a long time since a "how the heck did this get past the planning stages?" movie review, hasn't it? Fortunately, we can always look towards the sci-fi channel.. or.. syfy? whatever they're calling themselves these days. Nevertheless, this is Convict 762, the story of a group of space ladies who wind up finding out that the only men in the movie are psychotic killers. Whoops... | ||||||||||||||
300 | Decker Shado | Killer Klowns From Outer Space Movie Review | It's time to take a ride on the nightmare merry go round.. and that theme song will be stuck in my head for the next 40 years. Nevertheless, this week's review is Killer Klowns From Outer Space. It's a story about a town's awkward adjustment phase as it accommodates a new population of clown people with certain needs. They do this by dying.. a lot. | ||||||||||||||
301 | Decker Shado | Damn that's a long video title. Anyhow, there were quite a few things I found out about Return of the Killer Klowns From Outer Space in 3D when I was researching the original, and there's quite a bit on my mind I'd like to let out. Thus, I made this video. And now we understand... | |||||||||||||||
302 | Decker Shado | Gamera Super Monster Movie Review | What do you do when you want to make a big Gamera movie but you have no budget to speak of? ...I suppose I should already know the answer to that, but you could also churn out Gamera Super Monster. Or the Japanese title, Space Monster Gamera, where a Gamera doll does battle with a miniature star destroyer for 90 minutes, as a combination of stock footage and girls in tights running around playgrounds tries to distract us. I wish I was making any of that up. | ||||||||||||||
303 | Decker Shado | The New York Ripper Movie Review | Back in 1982, sometimes it still looked like 1973, and when that happened.. SERIAL KILLERS WERE ON THE LOOSE! As we see in this week's review, The New York Ripper. It's about a guy who goes around New York stabbing young women to death, whom the police refer to as "the ripper." Sound familiar? Well this guy quacks like a duck, which makes it totally different. Though that doesn't exactly help... | ||||||||||||||
304 | Decker Shado | A Good Day to Die Hard Movie Review | The final film in the Die Hard franchise, at least as of this writing but also pretty probable considering what the hell they did to it.. A Good Day to Die Hard gives us two times the McClaines, nuclear weapons, Russian politics, and somehow this can only fill out a 90 minute running time. That's a great sign, isn't it? | ||||||||||||||
305 | Decker Shado | Dragonball Evolution Movie Review | Back in 2009, someone finally thought to make a live action adaptation of Dragonball. By that of course, I mean make an action flick with special effects and slap the Dragonball name on it. Oh, it's got characters, and even some situations familiar in the series, but surely no one watching a Dragonball movie cares if it feels uniquely like Dragonball, do they? So how do you make it more accessible? Make it like any other movie ever. Think I'm exaggerating? Goku's in high school. | ||||||||||||||
306 | Decker Shado | Carnosaur Movie Review | What do you do when you need a Jurassic Park mockbuster, but The Asylum hasn't been founded yet? Call the Cormans, of course! This brings us Carnosaur, a film adaptation of the novel Carnosaur, which is as much an adaptation of that as Dragonball Evolution was an adaptation of Dragonball. Still, as an original production, how does it stand up? | ||||||||||||||
307 | Decker Shado | Carnosaur 2 Movie Review | How do you follow up a story quite as crazy as Carnosaur? Simple! Discard absolutely everything except for one shred so you can prove what you are making really is a sequel, and save even more money by using a script that everyone already knows! This brings us Carnosaur 2, a Roger Corman production that.. seems pretty damn similar to something else I know... | ||||||||||||||
308 | Decker Shado | Carnosaur 2 Movie Review | How do you follow up a story quite as crazy as Carnosaur? Simple! Discard absolutely everything except for one shred so you can prove what you are making really is a sequel, and save even more money by using a script that everyone already knows! This brings us Carnosaur 2, a Roger Corman production that.. seems pretty damn similar to something else I know... | ||||||||||||||
309 | Decker Shado | Rocky Movie Review | The career of Sylvester Stallone is an interesting tale... so why not explore one of his earliest works? No, not that! The one that shot him into stardom, a movie he wrote his damn self: Rocky! It's a semi-autobiographical work, with Stallone depicting his own life struggles as instead the struggles of a low ranking boxer. Also, the line most people remember is "ADRIAAAAAN!" although when you actually see the movie, you start to understand why... | ||||||||||||||
310 | Decker Shado | Rocky Movie Review | The career of Sylvester Stallone is an interesting tale... so why not explore one of his earliest works? No, not that! The one that shot him into stardom, a movie he wrote his damn self: Rocky! It's a semi-autobiographical work, with Stallone depicting his own life struggles as instead the struggles of a low ranking boxer. Also, the line most people remember is "ADRIAAAAAN!" although when you actually see the movie, you start to understand why... | ||||||||||||||
311 | Decker Shado | Carnosaur 2 Movie Review | How do you follow up a story quite as crazy as Carnosaur? Simple! Discard absolutely everything except for one shred so you can prove what you are making really is a sequel, and save even more money by using a script that everyone already knows! This brings us Carnosaur 2, a Roger Corman production that.. seems pretty damn similar to something else I know...<br><br>(Review from June 17th, now available in one chunk as intended) | ||||||||||||||
312 | Decker Shado | Rocky Movie Review | The career of Sylvester Stallone is an interesting tale... so why not explore one of his earliest works? No, not that! The one that shot him into stardom, a movie he wrote his damn self: Rocky! It's a semi-autobiographical work, with Stallone depicting his own life struggles as instead the struggles of a low ranking boxer. Also, the line most people remember is "ADRIAAAAAN!" although when you actually see the movie, you start to understand why... | ||||||||||||||
313 | Decker Shado | First Blood Movie Review | After Rocky, there was Rocky II. Then III, IV, yeah you know how it went.. however, Stallone was getting more work outside the Rocky franchise! It didn't exactly go too well for him, until he took the lead of the 1982 classic First Blood, as John Rambo. This film was successful enough that many think it caused all action movies henceforth to stick to the 90 minute runtime. Just putting this out there... it could also explain why every single action movie hero out there is named John, as well. | ||||||||||||||
314 | Decker Shado | Cobra Movie Review | Los Angeles is infested with crime, with a cult of murderers killing helpless women.. I mean, unconnected people with not distinct pattern... and only one man can stop them. He happens to be a super badass cop who is so good at his job, the entire police force hates him, The Cobra! Also, I don't mean to surprise you, but this is an 80s action movie. Never would have guessed, huh? | ||||||||||||||
315 | Decker Shado | Rambo First Blood Part II Movie Review | While the ending of First Blood was changed because test audiences didn't want to see the character they grew to love die, the sequel pretty much discarded that character anyway and gave us a balls-to-the-wall action extravaganza. Rambo: First Blood Part II sends John Rambo back to Vietnam, to rescue prisoners of war.. but along the way, he learns something about life. Mostly how to end it by blowing shit up. | ||||||||||||||
316 | Decker Shado | Assassins Movie Review | The Summer of Sylvester Stallone continues with Assassins, a 1995 film about.. oh yeah. Well, it also stars Antonio Banderas as the character you will enjoy watching. Sadly, he's the "bad guy." It's almost like the filmmakers thought entertainment was to be avoided... | ||||||||||||||
317 | Decker Shado | Judge Dredd Movie Review | Admit it. If I didn't review this one during THE SUMMER OF SYLVESTER STALLONE you'd all track me down and judge me. The same year Assassins came out, we got another much more infamous Stallone flick.. that being this one, Judge Dredd. It was based on a comic, but.. well.. what happens when Hollywood gets their hands on any established intellectual property? Make the same movie they've made 5000 times before, but with the skin of the new IP. Does it matter that it breaks just about every character? I'll be the judge of that. | ||||||||||||||
318 | Decker Shado | The Expendables Movie Review | What means Expendable? Get a bunch of action movie stars from the local retirement home and blow shit up! The Expendables sought to rekindle the spirit of the classic action movie blockbusters, by using the same ingredients to make them. Of course, some critics didn't think it worked. Or it did? I dunno, most of em complained that Stallone made an action movie. | ||||||||||||||
319 | Decker Shado | Rambo III Movie Review | In Rambo III, the Vietnam veteran throws the jungles to the wayside in order to go to Afghanistan and fight the REAL threat... Russians! Yeah, this is definitely a movie from 1988... but on the plus side, we get a change of scenery. Though now I kinda wish the 4th movie took place in the arctic... | ||||||||||||||
320 | Decker Shado | Bullet to the Head Movie Review | A much more recent example of Stallone's work from 2012, Bullet to the Head has him star as Jumpin' Jimmy Bobo. Or.. just Jimmy Bobo? Jimm... bobonobona... aaah! He's a criminal who must team up with a cop to take out criminals who are conspiring to help people. Which is bad. Because conspiracy. | ||||||||||||||
321 | Decker Shado | The Expendables 2 Movie Review | Continuing the Summer of Sylvester Stallone, it's time we look at The Expendables 2. After the first did surprisingly well, many actors jumped at the chance to be featured in the second.. specifically one who turned down his role in the first, Jean Claude Van Damme. It's a sequel, so it's bigger.. but is it better? | ||||||||||||||
322 | Decker Shado | Tango & Cash Movie Review | This particular review has been a major request ever since The Summer of Sylvester Stallone was announced. It would seem that is for good reason, as it pairs Stallone with Kurt Russel in a classic 80s police action movie. Is it deep, emotional and life changing? No.. but it just may be popcorn entertainment at it's finest. | ||||||||||||||
323 | Decker Shado | Rambo Movie Review | It's time to come full circle.. again! Rambo, the "4th fuckin' movie" in the franchise sends Sylvester Stallone to Burma, where he must fight to end a war that is killing innocent people all over the.. y'know what? That's actually incidental. Some Americans got mixed up and he has to save them. No, they aren't even remotely important to international affairs, but we still get to see Rambo go in! Or.. a group of mercenaries? ...well then... | ||||||||||||||
324 | Decker Shado | Top 10 Rambo Kills Movie Review | Geez, it feels like it's been YEARS since my last Top 10 list... oh, wait. Point is, this time we're looking at the epic hero of awesomeness responsible for some of the most deaths per minute on film! It wasn't easy picking the best 10.. so I disqualified most of them for arbitrary reasons. Enjoy! | ||||||||||||||
325 | Decker Shado | The Expendables 3 Movie Review | The Summer of Sylvester Stallone comes to an end in an epic battle of.. okay, it's another sequel. But it the latest movie in the Expendables franchise, so that has to count for something! This time around, Barney Ross has to take out a former member of his own team, and he feels the best way to do this is by throwing out his entire team. The fuck? | ||||||||||||||
326 | Decker Shado | Death Race 2000 Movie Review | Leaving the summer behind, we hit the hot asphalt with David Carradine in Death Race 2000. A classic Corman production, the movie was Carradine's first work past Kung Fu. It was also the first offer he got after said series, which he jumped on due to fears about being "the kung fu guy" and fading into obscurity. Oh yeah.. the movie.. what about that? Well, you did watch the video, right? | ||||||||||||||
327 | Decker Shado | Brainscan Movie Review | Video games and horror.. it's almost like peanut butter and jelly.. THAT KILLS YOU. Or, that might make a better movie as I'm still searching for the "killer video game" horror flick that holds up today. Brainscan takes a stab at the genre, with a heavy influence from the 90s fear of ultraviolent entertainment leading directly to murder. | ||||||||||||||
328 | Decker Shado | Tremors Movie Review | Possibly the best known monster movie of the 1990s, Tremors harkens back to the classic monster movie formula from the studio responsible for so many classic monster movies. The important thing is we have giant killer worms burrowing underground, death.. destruction.. and Kevin Bacon! | ||||||||||||||
329 | Decker Shado | Tremors 2 Movie Review | After the success of Tremors on home video, it should come as no surprise that it spawned a direct-to-video sequel. Tremors 2: Aftershocks released 6 years after the first, and quite a lot is different this time around. Not only are very few of the original cast present, but the creatures have fled south of the border... and a new beast has appeared! In fact things get so new, it is at times hard to see this as a sequel to Tremors... | ||||||||||||||
330 | Decker Shado | Tremors 3 Movie Review | As Tremors 1 and 2 ruled the home video market of the 90s, it should come as no surprise that Tremors 3 would be greenlit. It may be surprising that it took them so long to do it, waiting until 2001 to get the movie made.. but hey, it was also a way to set up a Tremors TV series. The series that didn't come out until 2003. Eh.. you know, the more I try to explain the movie the more confusing it gets.. | ||||||||||||||
331 | Decker Shado | Tremors 4 Movie Review | In 2004, one year after the Tremors TV series came and went and only 3 years since Tremors 3, a new entry in the film franchise came out! However, we can't have it be too much like the others, that wouldn't do well at all to bring in the monies. So what to do? Simple, set it in the same place as the first with characters very much like those found in the first, but this time IT'S A WESTERN! Didn't see that coming, did ya? | ||||||||||||||
332 | Decker Shado | Tremors 5 Movie Review | The final movie in the franchise.. at least so far, brings back MICHAEL GROSS AS BURT GUMMER! Which is enough to score one bonus star already in my book. But this is the first Tremors movie since 4 in 2004, so they had to bring everyone back up to speed, capitalize on nostalgia and do something completely different. They accomplish this by doing EVERYTHING! Seriously, this has more actors/characters than the TV Series pilot Tremors 3. | ||||||||||||||
333 | Decker Shado | Starship Troopers Invasion Movie Review | The 4th entry in the Starship Troopers series released in 2012, Invasion is a computer animated movie produced in Japan. As such the direction is quite a bit different than any film in the series, but considering how the last 2 entries went perhaps a drastic departure is exactly what we needed. There really is no question it is certainly better than the 2nd or 3rd, I'm not spoiling anything here.. but how exactly does it stack up on it's own? | ||||||||||||||
334 | Decker Shado | Dungeons & Dragons 3 Movie Review | The Dungeons and Dragons movie disappointed the world in 2000, and Wrath of the Dragon God left everyone to believe that while a D&D movie may be a fun idea, it will never be "good" in 2005, it took until 2012 for the third attempt at a motion picture about a legendary adventure taking place in the world of the legendary game. Legendary. Legends. Thing is, this time around they mix it up even more. Instead of following the Hollywood adventure of Marlon Wayans, or the game session translated to film of the 2nd movie, we get a game session translated to film from an EVIL campaign. That does mix things up quite a bit, as the best of roleplayers constantly kill each other before completing their adventures in said games. | ||||||||||||||
335 | Decker Shado | Poultrygeist Movie Review | Happy Thanksgiving, one and all! To celebrate, let's dig into the true meaning of the day. No, not family and friends. No, not being thankful for this that or the other. Offensive stereotypes and horrible killing set to cheerful musical numbers! For this, we turn to Troma and their film Poultrygeist. Though not a "thanksgiving" movie officially, it's got more to do with the day than certain horror films with a thanksgiving theme. And boobs. Lots and lots of boobs... and gore. And poop! | ||||||||||||||
336 | Decker Shado | Carnosaur 3 Movie Review | As the Carnosaur series continued to be pumped out by Roger Corman, Carnosaur 3 was the first of them to be released direct to video. Unbelievably enough, this does actually mean the special effects quality is even lower than last time and the writing takes a hit as well. Or maybe is better cause they didn't just take another movie's plot and add dinosaurs? | ||||||||||||||
337 | Decker Shado | The Dinosaur Project Movie Review | Deep in the heart of the Congo hides the elusive creature, Mokele-Mbembe. To prove it's existence, a team of British Cryptozoologists embark on a quest to find and record proof it is real. Oh, and they think it's a plesiosaur. And they think that's a dinosaur. They're doomed. | ||||||||||||||
338 | Decker Shado | Raptor Movie Review | You know, normally I make a title card for these things that shows the dinosaurs in the movie. Thing is, I go for the ones actually made for the movie, and this one didn't have any. Oh there were dinosaurs, but every single one of them is stock footage. So this is how far we've gone.... | ||||||||||||||
339 | Decker Shado | Planet of Dinosaurs Movie Review | This week, we look at a world that is still stuck in the Jurassic.. in Planet of Dinosaurs! This take on "astronauts fuck something up and wind up in deep shit" sends a small group to a planet full of dinosaurs. I may be repeating myself, but that really is the whole plot right there. | ||||||||||||||
340 | Decker Shado | Jurassic World Movie Review | You weren't really worried that Dinocember 2 was going to pass without this particular film being tackled, were you? Jurassic World was such a major event in film, being the first Jurassic Park movie released in over a decade, it quickly became the top movie of the year (luckily released before The Force Awakens) and it's looming release inspired the original Dinocember. But I'm not here to gawk over how grand a project it was, my job is to pick it apart scene by scene and find everything I can to complain about. Then decide if I like it despite that. :D | ||||||||||||||
341 | Decker Shado | Rocky II Movie Review | I'm going to talk about the movie now. I'm definitely not going to sidetrack to yell and scream about YouTube's uploading having quite the streak of failures resulting in the lateness of this particular video. No, no no. Besides, I'm sure many would assume I'm just making excuses for being lazy. ANYWAY! Rocky II follows the original, where Rocky must get in the SECOND biggest fight of his life.. this time, with Apollo Creed! Again! But bigger, because now they're even more pissed off. | ||||||||||||||
342 | Decker Shado | The Evil Dead Movie Review | Well, this has been on the to-do list for a while. Considering the recent television series, now seems as good a time as any to finally get around to reviewing The Evil Dead. Though, there's not all that much to say really. It's an extremely simple film with a very low budget from then independent filmmaker Sam Raimi. Then again, it took the home video market by storm upon release, so perhaps there is more to it than it seems? | ||||||||||||||
343 | Decker Shado | Godzilla vs DESTOROYAH Movie Review | Diving back into the kaiju genre, and slightly breaking up my Evil Dead reviews, we have for examination this week Godzilla vs DESTOROYAH! The final movie in the Heisei series of Godzilla films, Godzilla vs DESTOROYAH pits the monster against a creature birthed from the only substance to ever kill Godzilla... the oxygen destroyer! | ||||||||||||||
344 | Decker Shado | Evil Dead 2 Movie Review | While The Evil Dead managed to charm audiences with it's simple yet entertaining production, Evil Dead 2 was Raimi's shot at showing what he could do with some real money. As in, what he could do that people might watch. A lot of the points of the first movie are gone over again, but this time the direction is more in line with horror comedy. Or perhaps at times, even just straight up action with gore. In any case, for being a sequel that goes over a lot of the same points and scenes as the first it couldn't be more different in feel. | ||||||||||||||
345 | Decker Shado | Rocky III Movie Review | After Rocky Again: Extra Victory Edition, Rocky III had a somewhat more varied story to tell. At this point in his life, Balboa isn't scraping at the bottom struggling to get by and needing to fight just for a chance. He had his chance, won, and is kicking ass at life. Unfortunately, Mr T has come to star as Clubber Lang and kick his life's ass. | ||||||||||||||
346 | Decker Shado | Army of Darkness Movie Review | You really can't talk about Evil Dead without someone bringing up Army of Darkness. That makes sense, as it is part of the series but it was named so differently to differentiate itself from the previous entries. Though I suppose it could have got away with calling itself "The Evil Deadites" and it would have been just as different. Ash goes back in time to fight the evil dead, and try to get back to his own time... and Sam Raimi is still directing, so Bruce Campbell is in for some shit. | ||||||||||||||
347 | Decker Shado | Independence Day Movie Review | One of the biggest summer movies of the 90s, Independence Day (ID4) managed to wow audiences with honestly old-fashioned special effects done extremely well. There is CGI in the movie, but it's used very sparingly. Shields and stuff, all the ships are actually miniature models. Seriously. | ||||||||||||||
348 | Decker Shado | Evil Dead Movie Review | The last movie of the Evil Dead franchise as of this review, is the first movie of the Evil Dead timeline, re-imagined for a new era! That era consisting of people who have no idea what The Evil Dead is, and bounce between being terrified of creepy girls in the woods and math problems. It's certainly a unique take on the tale, but.. holy shit indeed. | ||||||||||||||
349 | Decker Shado | Idiocracy Movie Review | For years, Science Fiction has depicted the future as bright and wise. Or horribly dark, yet still overall smart. Very rarely do you find stories that explore the idea of people getting dumber as time goes on, and in Idiocracy we see what such a concept looks like when explored by the creator of Beavis and Butthead, Mike Judge. Also, creator of King of the Hill... on the DVD it just says creator of Office Space as that was his latest big movie at the time. Unfortunately Fox didn't seem to think he knew what he was doing, and trusted the test audience's negative reactions to the film too much releasing it late with very little fanfare. On the plus side, that does explain why the movie is set in 2005, then 2505, yet "came out" in 2006. | ||||||||||||||
350 | Decker Shado | Rocky IV Movie Review | The Cold War is a pretty interesting point in history. Absolutely everyone was convinced that America and Russia would start bombing each other any moment, and while Russia was busy training it's youth how to maintain and operate heavy armor America prioritized duck and cover techniques. On the plus side, Hollywood never let up on casting Russia as the bad guy in the 80s, and there's just something nostalgic about the big bad Soviet Union coming to fuck up some shit. Also, this is a Rocky movie. Yup. | ||||||||||||||
351 | Decker Shado | Mad Max Movie Review | While Fury Road tore through theaters as recently as 2015, the original Mad Max hearkens back all the way to 1979. It also was made for a measly budget of $300,000 which had more buying power in 79, but still very distinctly categorizes this film as low budget. That's no problem though, everyone knows it's legacy and everything, so it's gotta be good, right? ...right? | ||||||||||||||
352 | Decker Shado | Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior Movie Review | Released a mere 2 years after the original, Mad Max 2 completely changed the image of the franchise and set the standard for sequels to come. It also obviously was a heavy influence in the Fallout franchise, thanks to the huge budget and market penetration it had. Quite a mark was left on the world with this movie.. but how does it stack up today? | ||||||||||||||
353 | Decker Shado | Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome Movie Review | The third installment of the Mad Max series, Beyond Thunderdome brings with it yet again sweeping changes to the setting. Not just that evidently the previous post apocalyptic place was perhaps not post apocalyptic enough, but in the new super post apocalyptic setting things are looking up. Society is rebuilding, there is law in the land, an oasis of green with fresh water exists.. and it's all done with a PG-13 rating. Oh boy... | ||||||||||||||
354 | Decker Shado | Mad Max Fury Road Movie Review | The latest Mad Max movie upon us, Fury Road, finally came out in 2015. While there's plenty of things littering the internet already going over the politics and the character depictions and all that stuff... I.. personally am more interested in what the actual movie as about. Also, I feel kinda silly for buying the movie now and paying Warner Bros for the privilege, considering they just smacked this review with a claim while I was editing this text box and now I ain't even getting paid on this till the dispute is settled. Cause I really needed something else to rant about, eh?<br><br>UPDATE: Actually got released in less than 24 hours. As I say, if I can bitch and moan when things don't go my way, the least I can do is acknowledge when things go better for me than that. | ||||||||||||||
355 | Decker Shado | Rocky V Movie Review | The 5th, and for years final movie in the Rocky Franchise, Rocky V was the big send-off for the character. For that reason, the film sought to bring the character back to his roots, and finalize that he is never going to fight again. It does this in the most haphazard, cruel manners it really is quite remarkable. | ||||||||||||||
356 | Decker Shado | Stay Alive Movie Review | Horror movies are usually targeted at a teen to early adult demographic. With this in mind, studios will often incorporate things that are seen as popular in that demographic, even if they have no idea what in the hell they are. In 2006, it was finally figured out the average "gamer" was indeed older than 12, and was in fact the late teens early 20s demographic. With this in mind, we got Stay Alive.. and... sweet holy fuck. That's it, really. Sweet, holy fuck. | ||||||||||||||
357 | Decker Shado | Up in Smoke Movie Review | I missed the 4/20 special last year, so better make up for that! So let's have a look at the movie credited for creating the "Stoner Comedy" genre: Cheech & Chong's "Up in Smoke." It's the story of two comedians that got popular enough, they were able to toss a bunch of material together and call it a movie. What, you want the plot of the movie? Don't look at me... | ||||||||||||||
358 | Decker Shado | Stung Movie Review | It's a B movie, about wasps! ..close enough. Stung is your basic monster movie, where a specific series of events unleashes upon the world monsters! Monsters that happen to just be normal everyday creatures, but giant in size! It also unsurprisingly is a low budget film not made in Hollywood, but Germany. | ||||||||||||||
359 | Decker Shado | Rocky Balboa Movie Review | I'm down, but I'm not out! Thanks to Nekotwins, I was able to finish this review on her computer. This review being Rocky Balboa, the sixth and final movie in the "Rocky" franchise. Oh, I'm aware of Creed, but technically that's a "Spin-off series." Nevertheless, Rocky Balboa sought to do what Rocky V failed to. That being, bring Rocky's story to a close in a way that actually feels like a Rocky movie.<br><br>Geez, how many times did I say Rocky in that paragraph? | ||||||||||||||
360 | Decker Shado | The Fly Movie Review | Recently I was asked what my favorite remake was on Twitter. I never answered this question, but it got me thinking about some of the better examples out there of studios taking a pre-existing story and recreating it for a new era of cinema. To that end, I present to you David Cronenberg's "The Fly." A remake of a classic science gone wrong story from the 50s, The Fly spices things up for the 80s with genetics and amazing effects. How well does it represent the source material though, and more importantly does that matter? | ||||||||||||||
361 | Decker Shado | The Fly II Movie Review | As the 1986 film was so successful, plus the original had multiple sequels anyway, it shouldn't surprise anyone that a sequel was thrown together for the new imagining. However, "thrown together" may be a little more apt than one would like, considering how up in the air so much of the story was during pre production and the fact that despite being a direct chronological sequel the two films could hardly be any more different. | ||||||||||||||
362 | Decker Shado | Godzilla (2014) Movie Review | The biggest badassed badass is back! But before being back, dat boi was back again. The second shot America had at making a Godzilla movie that wasn't just a re-edit of a real Godzilla movie, "Godzilla" which we always just call Godzilla 2014 was produced by Legendary Pictures in.. well.. 2014. People were concerned obviously, after Tristar's Godzilla in 1998 almost destroyed the Kaiju's reputation in the states completely. However, the two movies are vastly different from one another... not to say that people didn't still find things to complain about. | ||||||||||||||
363 | Decker Shado | Creed Movie Review | Rocky Balboa was supposed to be "The Last Rocky Movie." Then again, so was Rocky V, Rocky II and Rocky, so screw it let's make another. Except it's not another Rocky movie, no no no this is a new series entirely, Creed, starring Michael B Jordan as the son of the deceased former heavyweight champion of the world. Of course this means no one thinks he has what it takes, but a big name might just hand pick him for a match everyone is sure he will lose but it's a chance to prove to the world he has a true fighter's spirit! ...wait, where have I heard this before? | ||||||||||||||
364 | Decker Shado | Death Race Movie Review | While the events leading up to Death Race 2000 didn't quite go according to the initial prediction, that didn't stop Paul W.S. Anderson from taking the IP and revamping it for the 2000s! This gives us Death Race! Not 2000, nor the release year 2008, nor the year it's set in.. which it's not very clear about, but would have to be at least 2013 if not later. Except it's a prequel to Death Race 2000. Fuck it, blame Paul, he said it. | ||||||||||||||
365 | Decker Shado | Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Movie Review | Took me long enough, eh?<br><br>Dawn of the Planet of the Apes follows the newest reboot of the Planet of the Apes series, started with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Sure, Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes only had one movie to the series, but it still counts as a separate reboot. Either way, Dawn follows a story similar to what we saw in Battle for the Planet of the Apes, which is interesting.. if they keep going this way, the next movie'll take place 2000 years in the future. I mean, I doubt that's what'll happen but I can dream. | ||||||||||||||
366 | Decker Shado | Friday the 13th Movie Review | Nothing says summer like summer camp! And nothing says summer camp like camp counselors being horribly murdered one after the other. Nothing says that quite like Friday the 13th, and nothing says Friday the 13th like... um... I think this description has run it's course. | ||||||||||||||
367 | Decker Shado | Independence Day Resurgence Movie Review | 20 years after one of the biggest sci-fi summer blockbusters ever made, we have finally been graced with a sequel. Of course considering the massive shadow cast by the predecessor (both figuratively and literally) is there any hope that the new film can even attain that level of awesome, even with all those new fangled CGI effects? | ||||||||||||||
368 | Decker Shado | A Nightmare on Elm Street Movie Review | The Summer of Freddy vs Jason won't work without Freddy, obviously.. so let's jump right into A Nightmare on Elm Street and introduce the guy! Freddy Kruger is notable as while he had a mundane origin similar to Jason before going supernatural, our introduction to the guy is very much post supernatural transformation. He's a snarky serial killer who torments children in their dreams, toying with them while performing vertical unanesthetized street surgery. Of course like Jason, it took a couple movies to really hammer him down... | ||||||||||||||
369 | Decker Shado | Friday the 13th Part 2 Movie Review | While the original Friday the 13th was a barely-released low budget flick with a definitively conclusive ending, that can't stop the hollywood sequel machine from kicking into high gear in record time! Introducing Jason as the killer, this particular entry in the series isn't actually seen as a high point despite paving the way for the iconic villain. Mainly because they way they did it was incredibly stupid, even for horror movie standards. | ||||||||||||||
370 | Decker Shado | Damn, these titles are getting long... The point is, the summer special continues with A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge! This time we follow the misadventures of Jessie Walsh, a kid who recently moved to Elm Street and into the former home of Nancy Thompson! Bombarded with nightmares about Freddy Kruger, this doesn't kill him but everyone around him. Seems all the rules changed in between movies.. | |||||||||||||||
371 | Decker Shado | Friday the 13th Part III Movie Review | After proving the story didn't have to make complete sense as long as the movie was entertaining, the idea of a 3rd Friday the 13th movie wasn't out of the question. However, it needed something special to make it worth filming... so it was made in 3D! That's all. There wasn't much else they thought up before filming started, so prepare to have your eyes gouged out. | ||||||||||||||
372 | Decker Shado | A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors Movie Review | After New Line Cinema ensured they would be solvent for some time with A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, they did actually take the time to make the third installment more than just a simple cash grab. For one thing, they spent a couple years working on it, and more importantly got Wes Craven back on as writer and producer. The result? Something that cranked the concept up to 11. | ||||||||||||||
373 | Decker Shado | Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter Movie Review | When you used up your best idea to extend the franchise two movies ago and need something to grab people's attention it's time to threaten the world with ending a series! Be it by saying the main character might die, or by simply doing what Paramount did and claiming the series would be ending while at the same time continuing to plan for sequels. | ||||||||||||||
374 | Decker Shado | Dream Warriors brought Wes Craven back to the series and showed that A Nightmare on Elm Street could be awesome even well into sequel land. The Dream Master though, was made in one year and without the help of Wes Craven. Oh well, it still follows the story where Dream Warriors left off and has many things within it worth praising.. though that's not to say it's a flawless production. | |||||||||||||||
375 | Decker Shado | Friday the 13th: A New Beginning Movie Review | Much like the Halloween franchise tried to shake things up by stepping away from Michael Meyers, Friday the 13th took on a new direction in part 5 when the filmmakers opted to take the series past the increasingly ridiculous Jason Voorhees plot. While this didn't last any longer than this one movie, it still makes for a unique entry in the series worthy of critique. | ||||||||||||||
376 | Decker Shado | A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child Movie Review | As the sequels went on, the areas Freddy could influence only increased. With that, The Dream Child focused on his ability to take over the unborn and influence them for his nefarious plots of teen murder! It also was made fast enough to come out less than a year after the previous one, sooo... | ||||||||||||||
377 | Decker Shado | Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI Movie Review | Sick of Tommy stealing Jason's thunder? Well too bad, he's still in this one. The good new is said thunder has brought Jason back from the dead, to wreak havoc on teenagers, camp counselors, police officers and pretty much anyone else milling about his woods without adequate plot armor. | ||||||||||||||
378 | Decker Shado | Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare Movie Review | After 5 movies of varying quality, it seems New Line Cinema felt it was time to put the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series to rest. Or they got filled up with a bunch of people who just didn't like the series, as the only movie this entry has any connection to is the first. Like, a little bit. | ||||||||||||||
379 | Decker Shado | Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood Movie Review | The Friday the 13th series just keeps on going, but when your series goes on this long weird things start happening. An undead superhuman killer slowly transforms to be more undead and more superhuman over time, while the filmmakers try to figure out new ways to spin the formula. So we have Jason battling another supernatural person! No, no not that one. | ||||||||||||||
380 | Decker Shado | Wes Craven's New Nightmare Movie Review | Wes Craven was brought in by New Line Cinema to revitalize the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. After looking over the series so far, he concluded it was ridiculous, impossible to follow and Freddy wasn't scary anymore. Thus, he fleshed out the idea he had originally intended for the 3rd Nightmare on Elm Street movie, setting the film in the real world with movie-to-reality plot threads and a redesigned Freddy. As a kid, I found it ridiculous and impossible to follow. Now, however... | ||||||||||||||
381 | Decker Shado | The last Friday the 13th movie to be made under Paramount, and coincidentally the last one to be made with the words "Friday the 13th" in the title, Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan is a cheerful tale of two teens in love being pursued by a deranged psychopath. But if you take Jason Voorhees away, they just spend some time in New York! While there, they get mugged, kidnapped, yelled at, and... hm.. you know, even without Jason, New York isn't looking too friendly here. | |||||||||||||||
382 | Decker Shado | Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday Movie Review | After Jason Takes Manhattan was a box office embarrassment for Paramount, it was decided they should sell off the Friday the 13th franchise to whoever is willing to pay. Turns out New Line Cinema was first in line to pick it up, and the best way they could think to show the world how much they respected the franchise was to kill Jason off immediately.<br><br>Brilliant. | ||||||||||||||
383 | Decker Shado | Jason X Movie Review | While Freddy vs Jason was in a hurry getting delayed severely at New Line Cinema, they decided to keep the franchise relevant by throwing a new entry together in a hurry. Not wanting to mess with the timeline, they set it way in the future. They still screw up the timeline pretty bad regardless, even within the movie's events, but that's not what most people shake their heads at here. Seriously, it's Jason in space. Spaceon. | ||||||||||||||
384 | Decker Shado | A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Movie Review | Before we jump into Freddy vs Jason, it might be a good idea to take on the remakes. Yes, that means reviewing the movies even more out of order than before.. but it's either that or building up to a finale on The Summer of Freddy Versus Jason that isn't Freddy vs Jason. That confuses me. | ||||||||||||||
385 | Decker Shado | Friday the 13th 2009 Movie Review | Before remaking A Nightmare on Elm Street, New Line Cinema actually got a remake of Friday the 13th sent to theaters. This is more impressive, when you consider they actually needed the permission of Paramount to pull this off, due to some remaining red tape. Also, I forget to mention it in the review but Jason Voorhees is played by Derek Mears, and he's not bad. | ||||||||||||||
386 | Decker Shado | Freddy vs Jason Movie Review | The grand finale of THE SUMMER OF FREDDY VS JASON is finally here, and yes it's still technically Summer. Trust me on this one. The point is, after so many false starts Freddy vs Jason finally became a thing in 2003. It's a movie about Freddy Kruger fighting Jason Voorhees, who'da thought? Problem is, there's those dang teenagers getting in the way... | ||||||||||||||
387 | Decker Shado | Hatchet Movie Review | What better way to ease into reviews that aren't Freddy or Jason movies than to look at a film that's a homage to the slasher legends of the 80s? To that end, this week's review is Hatchet, a story about a deformed killer in the swamps named Victor Crowly and the incredibly stupid teenagers that "fight back" in ways that look like they don't wanna hurt him too badly. | ||||||||||||||
388 | Decker Shado | Pumpkinhead Movie Review | A movie I first learned about while researching Alien Resurrection and reading Joss Whedon say "I never wrote anything in the script about them fighting a big Pumpkinhead looking monster." - Pumpkinhead is the directorial debut of Stan Winston, and indeed the Newborn Xenomorph bears a striking resemblance to the titular monster, Pumpkinhead. With the tail and the curve of Pumpkinhead's chin, it could be surmised it's design was partially inspired by the Xeno, but that's neither here nor there. It's a movie about teens dying! AMAZING! | ||||||||||||||
389 | Decker Shado | Feelin ill - Ranting and things Movie Review | Got a head cold a few days ago, and it's been getting in the way of work... I'm working on getting the review ready asap, but in the meantime here's a little update on things going on. Here's hoping I can get everything back on schedule soon. | ||||||||||||||
390 | Decker Shado | Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings Movie Review | The long awaited review (cause I'm really late this week) of Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings is here! I hope you weren't hoping for a masterpiece of a movie to follow up the impressive but flawed initial entry... oh dear god will this week be disappointing if you did. | ||||||||||||||
391 | Decker Shado | Pumpkinhead Ashes to Ashes Movie Review | How do you follow up a theatrical cult hit and a straight to video.. uh.. thing? Well, why not get SyFy to slap together some made for TV tripe, and pump out today's picture: Pumpkinhead Ashes to Ashes. On the one hand, it actually acknowledges the events of the first movie and has a couple good actors in it. On the other, it's somehow less coherent than the second and more disrespectful to the source material. | ||||||||||||||
392 | Decker Shado | Pumpkinhead 4: Blood Feud Movie Review | There are quite a few similarities between Pumpkinhead 3 and 4. For starters, the Pumpkinhead suit is the same one between the two movies, and they were both made for TV movies for SyFy. Other than that though, the stories manage to be pretty different from one another... except for recurring characters and constantly dragging Lance back on the set no matter what problems it causes with the series continuity, but nevermind that. | ||||||||||||||
393 | Decker Shado | Star Wars Movie Review | The king-daddy of science fiction media today.. sort of like Fallout 4 is the lord of post-apocalyptic RPGs, Star Wars needs no introduction. Thus, I'll just use this blurb to point out that until the early 80s, the film was just called "Star Wars" as "Episode IV: A New Hope" wasn't tacked onto it just yet. That was but the first of the mountain of modifications the movie took on over the years. | ||||||||||||||
394 | Decker Shado | Dredd Movie Review | While the Judge Dredd movie from 1995 may have gone down in movie history as one of the most spectacular bombs of the last few decades, the source material was rich enough and the fans loud enough that another movie based on the universe was made.. Dredd. They aimed to stick a lot closer to the source material this time around, but there was a problem with this plan. Namely, the studios weren't willing to blow nearly as high a budget on another movie based on the Judge Dredd comics, so fantastical technology, hovercraft and robots went right out the window, as well as most of the other fantastic designs. | ||||||||||||||
395 | Decker Shado | Death Race 2 Movie Review | The reboot of Death Race did so good, where do you go from there? Well if you like money you make a sequel! Except Jensen Ames is free and Jason Statham is expensive.. so you make a prequel, without said character! Just get another grizzled bald guy, no one'll tell the difference. | ||||||||||||||
396 | Decker Shado | ThanksKilling Movie Review | Happy Thanksgiving, one and all! For those from outside the US of A, here's a primer on what Thanksgiving is all about. Eating, while cosplaying as settlers and natives. With that in mind, we're taking a look at ThanksKilling - a slightly different take where one also cosplays as the food, and kills the people instead! A movie that might have been made for less money than your gaming PC. | ||||||||||||||
397 | Decker Shado | Death Race 3: Inferno Movie Review | The latest in the Death Race franchise, Death Race 3: Inferno mixes up the series that already mixed things up severely compared to the original. Some of these new additions make it similar to Death Race 2000, other "new features" make it similar to Death Race 2. I'm wondering what these people thought the definition of "new" was... | ||||||||||||||
398 | Decker Shado | The Star Wars Holiday Special Movie Review | In keeping with the theme of 1 Star Wars review a month until I can make it through the whole series... it's time for the one that I must admit, several of you saw coming. The made for TV special that has a cult following in much the same way that Manos: Hands of Fate has a cult following... Like hairy family members? Constant screaming? Random disjointed whatever? Well... this special may still make you reassess you life decisions. | ||||||||||||||
399 | Decker Shado | KILLER\SAURUS Movie Review | Although Dinocember 2016 is... not a thing, that doesn't mean dinosaurs in December is a no go! Therefore, today's review is KILLER\SAURUS! A happy tale about a small group of people who have high aspirations, but lack skill in the areas their occupation requires.. so they make a movie about bringing dinosaurs back from extinction. | ||||||||||||||
400 | Decker Shado | Gremlins Movie Review | Way before R rated horror movies started self-censoring to achieve a PG-13 rating and attain a wider audience, the PG-13 rating didn't exist. Still, there were horror movies made with the intention of pushing the PG rating as far as it could go.. and to that end, we have Gremlins. A Spielberg production directed by Joe Dante, Gremlins is about cute and fuzzy little balls of death, pain and terror. Wholesome family entertainment! | ||||||||||||||
401 | Decker Shado | Area 407 Movie Review | It's new year's, horror, science fiction, and even fits into Dinocember! What could go wrong? Well... there's that whole found footage problem, that's about as much of an issue as dating someone with a cannibalism problem. | ||||||||||||||
402 | Decker Shado | Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Movie Review | While reviewing the Holiday Special was fun, I don't think it would make sense to postpone this one further by delving into SNL skits for 20 minutes... So let's take a look at Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back! Which it seems likely a hell of a lot of people are going to be doing, due to recent circumstances... | ||||||||||||||
403 | Decker Shado | Gremlins 2: The New Batch Movie Review | You'd think six years is enough time to come up with a big, spectacular follow up to one of the biggest surprise hits of the 80s. Well, after racking their brains the guys at WB collectively decided "do it in New York!" was the best option, giving us Gremlins 2: The New Batch. I's flashy, it's visually impressive, and it's got Gremlins jokes galore... but does it live up to the original? | ||||||||||||||
404 | Decker Shado | Top 13 Friday the 13th Kills Movie Review | Considering in my last "top kills" video, I lamented the character in question not being in Mortal Kombat... it would make sense that this top kills video focuses on a character who in fact, has been added to Mortal Kombat. (and out-gores the standard cast on a regular basis) Jason Voorhees! Of course, his body count is so massive a top 10 list just can't cut it. Top 13 can't either, we need like a top 50 but I don't got that kinda time. | ||||||||||||||
405 | Decker Shado | Godzilla VS King Ghidorah Movie Review | Sometimes you just want to kick back, and enjoy a simple movie about giant monsters crushing cities as they fight. Then somehow, you end up in a convoluted tale about world war 2, time travel and economic terrorism. Only in Japan... | ||||||||||||||
406 | Decker Shado | Species Movie Review | While H.R. Giger's work in film may be known by most as simply "the guy who made the alien from Alien" he's done art for several other features. Notably, the new species from Species. Of course, a movie doesn't come down to simply how nifty the creatures in it look... so does the rest of the film do the man's legacy justice? | ||||||||||||||
407 | Decker Shado | Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Movie Review | Just because the 2nd movie ended with Luke doing exactly what Yoda and Obi Wan told him would mean he could never become a jedi, that's no reason for him to not become a jedi. Thus, it's the return of the jedi! Later, as even though he's calling himself a jedi early on they still say he isn't one yet. It's a bit confusing... | ||||||||||||||
408 | Decker Shado | The Voices Movie Review | You know what I love? Horror. You know what the masses love? Comedy! You know what comes up a lot in the horror genre? Horror comedy! The problem comes when you watch it, and find out it's just a comedy with blood in it. However, sometimes you find a movie out there that actually does the horror right.. a dark comedy that is truly dark. The Voices is one of those movies. | ||||||||||||||
409 | Decker Shado | Phantom of the Paradise Movie Review | A cult classic from 1974, Phantom of the Paradise is a modern take on Phantom of the Opera. By modern of course, I mean 70s modern and holy hell is this ever a period piece. Next to nothing looks like it could happen at just any point in history, it all screams mid 70s. Nevertheless, this film written and directed by Brian De Palma did rather poorly when initially released.. Is there a big overarching reason for that? No, seriously I want to know I'm confused about this. | ||||||||||||||
410 | Decker Shado | Virus Movie Review | A little monster movie from 1999, Virus was made quite a while after the original screenplay was penned. At the time, it wasn't quite as possible to do the kinds of special effects that would be required, so it was made into a Dark Horse comic instead. Eventually, the story would be put to the film - but at what cost? | ||||||||||||||
411 | Decker Shado | Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Movie Review | While George Lucas had already made several films that would make the average sane moviegoer question his capabilities, that didn't stop the hype train from going full steam ahead during the late 90s, when news of a new Star Wars prequel trilogy first came. Telling the story of Anakin Skywalker, who everyone already knew would become Darth Vader and was described as a total badass in the original movie... Seriously, how could this movie not be awesome? Well... All those mediocre to bad movies George made? Add this one to the list. | ||||||||||||||
412 | Decker Shado | We All Scream for Ice Cream Movie Review | This week marks the beginning of the March of the Clowns! Or last week was supposed to, but I'm a flakey fucknugget and lack discipline. Either way, the review of the day is We All Scream for Ice Cream, a story made by the director of Child's Play for a Showtime television series. Think Twilight Zone, or Outer Limits, without the deep moral lessons and throw in a bunch of cursing and you get the idea. | ||||||||||||||
413 | Decker Shado | Funland Movie Review | The March of the Clowns continues with Funland! This film from 1987 is about a clown. That's a given, but to be honest with you telling you what the generally accepted synopsis is for this movie is completely inaccurate while at the same time correcting that is sorta spoiling things in the description. Either way, we got clowns, an amusement park, and death! That's a sure fit for the March of the Clowns. | ||||||||||||||
414 | Decker Shado | Clown Movie Review | It's hard to discuss horror movies about clowns without bringing up a certain horror movie, called Clown. Mainly because of it's incredibly simple straightforward name, as this is actually a pretty damn recent production. Also, it's not entirely the brainchild of Eli Roth despite what certain trailers will have you believe... | ||||||||||||||
415 | Decker Shado | It Movie Review | The March of the Clowns might have been a bit slower than planned, but it all ended up in the same place. With that in mind, we're taking a look at the 1990 television miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's "It." It's possibly one of the most famous clown horror flicks of all time... despite it honestly not having much at all to do with clowns, other than the main villain of the tale, Pennywise, happening to look like a clown most of the time. | ||||||||||||||
416 | Decker Shado | Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones Movie Review | After the hype tornado of Episode I resulted in... episode I... Expectations were not quite as high for the sequel, and the studio was perhaps a little more careful with what did and did not make the cut this time around. With far less Jar Jar, and much more action we got Attack of the Clones and the beginning of the clone wars. However... did they perhaps cut a little too much explanation in this explosionfest? | ||||||||||||||
417 | Decker Shado | J.C.V.D. Movie Review | It's been a long time coming, but I finally got around to reviewing that one Jean-Claude Van Damme movie from way back when that I never got around to - J.C.V.D.! It stars the star as the star, in this weird place called "reality." Fictional reality, but that's how it is in movieland. | ||||||||||||||
418 | Decker Shado | Gingerdead Man VS Evil Bong Movie Review | What goes better with movies about killer paraphernalia than movies about killer snacks? Mix the two together, and you get Gingerdead Man vs Evil Bong... which is not so much the two movies mixed together, but an Evil Bong movie where nothing happens and then there's a stabbing before the credits. Yay. | ||||||||||||||
419 | Decker Shado | Gorgo Movie Review | From the deep dark depths of mystery known as the British Isles, Gorgo was born in 1961. Meant as a homage to the still young king of monsters, Godzilla, Gorgo employed many visual effects tricks at the time to help the creature appear larger than life.. but what is this?! WESTERNERS doing a kaiju flick?! Well, it might not be as bad as it sounds when you say it like that... | ||||||||||||||
420 | Decker Shado | Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Movie Review | As I recall, when Episode III came out everyone was looking forward to the conclusion of the prequel trilogy. Mainly because after the first 2 movies, they really wanted to see the franchise they knew and loved stop being screwed with. However, it's also widely accepted that Revenge of the Sith is the best of the bunch when it comes to the prequels. The big thing that got everyone to go to the theater and watch it though? The wookie army.. and.. yeah.. | ||||||||||||||
421 | Decker Shado | Alien Covenant Movie Review | After the box office "huh?" that was Prometheus, Ridley Scott was brought back yet again to tackle it's sequel. As such, you know a lot of the direction is the same.. but considering the great many critiques of Prometheus, does Alien Covenant right these wrongs? Or.. make new ones? | ||||||||||||||
422 | Decker Shado | Wishmaster Movie Review | Produced by the horror legend Wes Craven, Wishmaster is a tale about how the world would be if genies and/or djinn were real, but also evil demonic extraplanar beings bent on destroying the Earth. You know, kind of like all those articles shared all over social media where children's shows are actually fever dreams of institutionalized psychopaths, but slightly more believable. | ||||||||||||||
423 | Decker Shado | Wishmaster 2 Evil Never Dies Movie Review | Hearing that a Wes Craven horror movie spawned a sequel isn't particularly surprising. Learning it's sequel had no involvement by Wes Craven unfortunately is also not really news. The fact that it went straight to video though? Now we're starting to get into worrying territory... and Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies. Andrew Divoff returns as the Djinn, who escapes from confinement and tries to take over the world via wishes. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? | ||||||||||||||
424 | Decker Shado | Wishmaster 3 Beyond the Gates of Hell Movie Review | The first of the Wishmaster sequels shorthanded to "the ones without Andrew Divoff" Wishmaster 3 is... bad. I can't say if it was a new direction they were trying, because the setup is generic as fuck and the pacing god awful slow. What direction were they going for? Straight to hell? | ||||||||||||||
425 | Decker Shado | Wishmaster The Prophecy Fulfilled Movie Review | The fourth, and mercifully final movie in the Wishmaster series Wishmaster: The Prophecy Fulfilled is a pointless romp through nowhereville where the Djinn gets his third wish! This should mean bringing forth the legions of Djinn into the human world, and royally screwing it. However, instead he goes on an adventure to learn human love in the worst supernatural dating game you can imagine. Why? Because they never bothered to check the previous movies to make sure the key point in the plot of this one wasn't completely fucking stupid. | ||||||||||||||
426 | Decker Shado | Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Movie Review | After the dust had settled on the prequel trilogy, more than a few people weren't particularly happy with George Lucas' vision for the Star Wars series. Some years and rights acquisitions later, and before you know it Disney owns Lucas Films, and with it the Star Wars franchise. This wasn't just a buyout though, before long work on a brand new trilogy (and then some) started, with our first peek into this new take on Star Wars being Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Upon release, it was cheered as an amazing start to what surely will be an amazing trilogy.. but I'm not here to tell you what other people think, I have my own opinions about the impression this particular film left on me. | ||||||||||||||
427 | Decker Shado | Warcraft Movie Review | From RTS to MMO to novels to film, Warcraft lore is rich in detail and scope. Thing is, the film is the latest piece of that particular series of events and as such, Hollywood gotta do what Hollywood does and figure out all the best ways to screw with the already well established lore because fuck it, it's just a video game movie after all... | ||||||||||||||
428 | Decker Shado | The Terminator Movie Review | Back in 1984, Arnold Schwarzenegger was already a very recognizable actor. However, "actor" was seen as more a technicality of his job than his talent and capabilities. This outlook changed quite sharply when it was decided that instead of playing the hero of this time-travel-killer-robot-dark-future thing James Cameron had been working on, he would play the villain. That meant instead of just being strong and yelling a lot, he had to portray a killing machine.. which it turns out he's very damn good at. | ||||||||||||||
429 | Decker Shado | Conan the Barbarian Movie Review | In the fantasy age of the 80s, giant dudes with swords fighting puppets were quite a draw for moviegoers, and a lot of that has to do with the success of Conan the Barbarian. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, it's about Conan going on an adventure! Just don't try too hard to find the thread that links his motivations together, it can get lost pretty easily. | ||||||||||||||
430 | Decker Shado | Commando Movie Review | Ever wonder where the Schwarzenegger Stallone rivalry came from? Well not only were they both action movie stars of the 80s, but Commando was released the very same year as First Blood Part 2 and just so happens to have some superficial similarities. I guess we could just call it the "muscular man firing machine guns" genre at this point. | ||||||||||||||
431 | Decker Shado | Terminator 2 Judgement Day Movie Review | One of the biggest sequels of it's time, Terminator 2 was the action follow up to the horror movie that everyone thought was an action movie, The Terminator. Made on a massive budget, Terminator 2: Judgement Day stood as the last movie in the franchise for over a decade. It's got quite a legacy... but exactly how much am I on board with? | ||||||||||||||
432 | Decker Shado | Hercules in New York Movie Review | What Arnold Schwarzenegger special would be complete without a look at his first starring role? Probably a "best of" list, but that's not the point. In Hercules in New York, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Arnold Strong as Hercules, in New York. Yes, it's a movie with a title about as subtle as "The Bad Guy Dies" but deep down, is it really all that bad? Yes, but in what way? | ||||||||||||||
433 | Decker Shado | Conan the Destroyer Movie Review | After Conan the Barbarian showed the world you can make a profit off of an esoteric series of intellectual fantasies so long as you have enough gore and boobs to satisfy the masses, Conan the Destroyer showed us just how far a sequel is willing to water down the original no matter how well it did. | ||||||||||||||
434 | Decker Shado | True Lies Movie Review | Spies, terrorists action and comedy. True Lies was a major hit at the box office, and it's enough to make you feel sorry for the film that Cameron was blatently getting the idea from, La Totale. Nevertheless, ignoring the Lion King / Kimba or Witcher / Elric situation how well does the movie itself hold up today? | ||||||||||||||
435 | Decker Shado | The Running Man Movie Review | Concerned about how your favorite passtime is depicted as a horror that will take over the world and desensitize the population to violence? Don't worry, that's what everyone has said about everything forever, such as how The Running Man depicts a future where TV still matters, and game shows are ultraviolent entertainment fed to the demanding masses, all while the corrupt government does their own shady stuff as well. It's fiction, I swear. | ||||||||||||||
436 | Decker Shado | Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines Movie Review | One of the reasons it took so long for a Terminator 3 to happen is because James Cameron, like him or not, is actually one of those Hollywood guys with a modicum of respect for the material. He felt there was nowhere to go from Terminator 2... so the studio found a couple guys who did and had THEM crank out the sequel! Still starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, of course.. otherwise nobody would have ever bothered to watch this. | ||||||||||||||
437 | Decker Shado | Sabotage Movie Review | For a while, Schwarzenegger wasn't doing much but cameos in movies. That's because of his time as the Gahvanahovcalifornja, but since his time in that job has ended naturally he returned to movies. Seems there wasn't a great backlog of projects built around him though, as in 2014 we get him as our lead man in Sabotage, a movie that has nothing to do with a sabotage considering that ending wound up on the cutting room floor. | ||||||||||||||
438 | Decker Shado | Red Heat Movie Review | Schwarzenegger teams up with Belushi for your standard hero/buddy cop flick with a twist.. Belushi is your snarky bad cop from Chicago, while Schwarzenegger is a tough as nails Russian from Russia! That's about it, other than that the plot's pretty standard to be honest. | ||||||||||||||
439 | Decker Shado | Red Sonja Movie Review | A tale of swords, sorcery and someone OTHER than Arnold Schwarzenegger, Red Sonja still manages to give the guy top billing above even the title character. This is often thought of as the third Conan movie with Schwarzenegger, but that's not entirely true. Sure, in early drafts of the script Conan was in it, but.. things changed. | ||||||||||||||
440 | Decker Shado | Total Recall Movie Review | One of the most technically impressive movies of it's time, both for the use of CGI when such things were unheard of and the massive practical effects budget at work. It's also based on a short story you probably never heard of, but does that matter? It's got Arnold Schwarzenegger, gunfire and explosions. | ||||||||||||||
441 | Decker Shado | Last Action Hero Movie Review | With an acting career as large as Arnold Schwarzenegger's, you're bound to have a few stinkers under your belt. However, few have the reputation of Last Action Hero. The first film which Schwarzenegger was credited as executive producer, Last Action Hero released to a buzz of hype to take on.... Jurassic Park. Well then, that's not a fight to pick lightly... | ||||||||||||||
442 | Decker Shado | Around the World in 80 Days Movie Review | As the Summer.. which somehow turned into the year, was over saturated with a certain action star, why not celebrate it's end with another action star? Yep, we're not going with the classic renditions of this particular ancient dwemer text, but the 2004 Disney production starring Jackie Chan. I really should review more Jackie Chan movies, don't cha think? | ||||||||||||||
443 | Decker Shado | 300 Movie Review | 300 is a story of a time when 300 Spartans defeated ONE MILLION PERSIANS! Also, it's not exactly historically accurate, as some say it was probably more like a couple thousand versus a few tens of thousands, but why let truth get in the way of a good story? | ||||||||||||||
444 | Decker Shado | Dog Soldiers Movie Review | A long time fan request, Dog Soldiers is a Scottish horror film about Scottish soldiers facing horrors in Scotland. Monsters lurk in the night, and as the frights engulf them they scream in Scottish! | ||||||||||||||
445 | Decker Shado | Rogue One Movie Review | The 8th movie in the Star Wars series.. or 9th, if you count the holiday special, is not an episode! Or is episode 3 and a half. Either way, it is the film version of the text from the original movie, where rebels steal the plans to the Death Star. Of course, the text left out that part about the ninja and the supernukes... | ||||||||||||||
446 | Decker Shado | The Thing Movie Review | A box office disappointment from 1982, John Carpenter's "The Thing" sent critics fleeing for the hills with it's very gory, and very detailed effects. Still held up to this day as an example of why practical effects stand up over time far better than CGI, most other life lessons you could learn from this film.. are best not followed. Unless you like jail time, I suppose. | ||||||||||||||
447 | Decker Shado | Snowbeast Movie Review | It's a review about that time a shark learned to walk and got fuzzy. However, some things never change... | ||||||||||||||
448 | Decker Shado | Phantasm Movie Review | Another long time request, the classic Phantasm! It's considered a cornerstone of horror movie history, because it.. has.. things in it! Uhm.. things happen. I guess they might be scary. Oh! And there's this silver ball, that's pretty awesome. | ||||||||||||||
449 | Decker Shado | Phantasm II Movie Review | The second in the long franchise of Phantasm, Phantasm II ups the budget, the body count and the... sanity? Things were kept on a much shorter leash by Universal Pictures, and the movie as a result is easier to understand. THis is the part where you're supposed to say be careful what you wish for, isn't it? | ||||||||||||||
450 | Decker Shado | Phantasm III Movie Review | The third philm in the Phantasm phranchise, Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead marks the return of full creative control to Don Coscarelli. As such, it's got next to nothing to do with the second movie. Except of course, the return of the 4 barrel shotgun because that thing was awesome. | ||||||||||||||
451 | Decker Shado | Phantasm IV Movie Review | Think that "oblIVion" is a little cheesey of a name for the 4th project in a franchise? They were kicking around the idea of "Phantasm Phorever." Either way, the movie's about Mike running from the Tall Man, and Reggie trying to save mike. You know, like Phantasm 3, except without them spending nearly as much time together, or the interesting locations, or new faces... well... You ever been on a road trip? It's kind of like that, with a body count. | ||||||||||||||
452 | Decker Shado | Phantasm: Ravager Movie Review | The final Phantasm movie, Ravager was made slowly in the time between Phantasm: Oblivion and the passing of Angus Scrimm. Starting out as a series, it was eventually built upon until it was a movie... or.. at the very least, a Phantasm movie. Also, this one isn't entirely the writing and directing of Don Coscarrelli, so mark it as the first time since Phantasm II that "outsiders" had a large sway in how things went down in the film. | ||||||||||||||
453 | Decker Shado | Raptor Ranch Movie Review | Okay, so it's dinosaurs in modern day movies in a Dinocember theme, in March. I swear, I'm good at my job sometimes... either way, this week's review is on a low budget paleontological horror, Raptor Ranch! AKA The Dinosaur Experiment, AKA Jurassic Dark... Honestly, the first thing I made sure of was that I hadn't already bought and reviewed this one before. | ||||||||||||||
454 | Decker Shado | Rise of the Dinosaurs Movie Review | When a small group of soldiers find out they're off in a jungle where each and every one of them is at the risk of being killed, they got exactly what they bargained for BUT WITH DINOSAURS! ...that look like they'd fail to impress on modern gaming hardware. :/ | ||||||||||||||
455 | Decker Shado | Jurassic City Movie Review | When you're making a movie about dinosaurs who destroy a major city, but can't afford to actually destroy a major city on film... what do you do? Well, if this film is anything to go by... do something on a much smaller scale, and just name the thing as if you're doing the bigger picture. No one will be able to spot the difference! | ||||||||||||||
456 | Decker Shado | Poseidon Rex Movie Review | Poseidon Rex is what happens when someone decides to try to make an unholy amalgamation of Jurassic Park and Jaws, and has never heard of a plesiosaur. How do you make a dinosaur a sea monster? Simple! Take a T-Rex and slap fins on that sumbitch. Probably gives you an idea of the quality of movie we're dealing with already... | ||||||||||||||
457 | Decker Shado | Hellraiser: Judgment Movie Review | Long after THE SUMMER OF HELLRAISER ended with the very underwhelming (to say the least) Hellraiser Revelations, we were blessed (?) with a tenth entry to the franchise. Hellraiser: Judgment is the story about a serial killer on the loose who slaughters not-so-innocent people, as he picks his targets for the sins they have committed. Also, there may or may not be cenobites somewhere in the back. | ||||||||||||||
458 | Decker Shado | Shin Godzilla Movie Review | While Legendary pictures made the beast much taller (and wider) for American audiences, Toho was hard at work designing a reboot for the franchise. The creature is much taller (and longer) for Japanese audiences. It's also a very talky picture.. but shouldn't we expect that by now? Come on, it's a Godzilla flick. | ||||||||||||||
459 | Decker Shado | Doom Movie Review | Long before the fires of hell were reunited in celebration for the latest Doom game released under Bethesda, Doom 3 taught the world the importance of flashlights. After that game brought the franchise back into vogue in the early 2000s, the Doom movie would be released to capitalize on that. Awesome! Except that somewhere along the way, everyone involved just forgot that Doom is about Hell and demons in a very literal sense... | ||||||||||||||
460 | Decker Shado | Killer Klowns From Outer Space Movie Review | So John Massari asked if I knew anyone out in L.A. who could maybe make it down to this particular event and we could work together over skype to get some footage. After a few minutes, I let him know I bought the airplane ticket to Los Angeles and I'll be there in a day. Many an adventure was had, and many a piece of KKFOS merch was signed by the Chiodo Bros and John. | ||||||||||||||
461 | Decker Shado | War for the Planet of the Apes Movie Review | You might think that the War for the Planet of the Apes was fought in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and.. well, you'd be right. There was that big escalation right at the end, but this movie skips over that minor detail to get to the REAL story we care about. Which group of warring humans will get to be the humans in the background on this planet, that will no doubt be ruled by Apes? | ||||||||||||||
462 | Decker Shado | Alien Covenant Movie Review | From the fires of creation birth the spark of life, giving breath and song to wonders and mundanity alike. Desire. The longing to expand, to construct and simply to exist. Endemic to these primordial ambitions is the query upon the origin of the inquisitor themselves.<br><br>Then a critic like me shows up and says "WHAT ARE YOU ON? JUST SHOW ME THE MONSTER ALREADY!" | ||||||||||||||
463 | Decker Shado | Tremors A Cold Day in Hell Movie Review | The sixth film in the Tremors franchise, A Cold Day in Hell is about GRABOIDS IN THE ARCTIC! That's.. pretty much all there is to see here. There's also a story about Burt coming to terms with Travis being his son, but that was last movie sooo.... you like slow motion? | ||||||||||||||
464 | Decker Shado | Starship Troopers Traitor of Mars Movie Review | The 5th.. or 6th Starship Troopers movie, 2nd to be CGI'd out of a Japanese studio but technically 3rd animated feature film and I'm already confused oh well CASPER VAN DIEN AS JOHNNY RICO. There, that's pretty much the main attraction outside of huge bugs everywhere that require huge explosions to exterminate. Certainly something I look forward to. | ||||||||||||||
465 | Decker Shado | IT (2017) Movie Review | While IT was already famously portrayed by Tim Curry in the 90s, that was on television. TV's got rules and stuff to keep people from having fun, and in 2017 the novel was reinterpreted with a hard R rating. Also, they shifted the date around because any excuse to showcase kids running around in the 80s. | ||||||||||||||
466 | Decker Shado | Deep Blue Sea 2 Movie Review | Another new sequel to a 90s film that came out of nowhere, Deep Blue Sea 2 continues the story of 1999's Deep Blue Sea. Or.. I dunno, some think this is actually a remake but either way you don't need to see the first movie to understand what's happening in this one. They made smart sharks, and the things are trying to kill them. However, this time it's a straight to video project.. and a bit of a bait and switch, to be honest. | ||||||||||||||
467 | Decker Shado | Jeepers Creepers 3 Movie Review | A movie I have waited years for.. not because I thought the series was going in a great direction mind you, rather when I initially checked, it was supposed to be out in 2013. Took a good 4 more years before Jeepers Creepers 3 dropped in 2017, and it's not even an actual continuation of the story. Great. | ||||||||||||||
468 | Decker Shado | The Thing (2011) Movie Review | A project that began as a remake of John Carpenter's The Thing, The Thing ended up being a prequel that everyone thought was a remake because they just called the thing The Thing. It's about an alien lifeform that mimics it's victims in Antarctica... that is, until it gets it's ass kicked by Americans! This time, Americans at the Norwegian base. | ||||||||||||||
469 | Decker Shado | Halloween Movie Review | The "original slasher movie" Halloween was made for the low low price of just $300,000 way back in 1978. It introduced the world to Michael Myers, and gave a movie series that has continued to this day. You know, if you wave away the fact that the 2018 movie is going to ignore the events of almost the entire franchise.. except this one. | ||||||||||||||
470 | Decker Shado | Halloween II Movie Review | The sequel to the movie that introduced us to Michael Myers, Halloween II continues the events of that night in 1978. Although most of the events now take place on November 1st, no one really bothers checking the clocks so it's okay. They're too busy watching their insides end up on the outside. | ||||||||||||||
471 | Decker Shado | Halloween III Season of the Witch Movie Review | Halloween III is the one movie of the Halloween franchise to have nothing to do with Michael Myers. It's a horror tale about a plot to.. actually describing it might trigger the algorithm. Dangit... anyway! Without Michael, it's considered not only the worst Halloween movie but possibly the worst movie of all time. But is it really? | ||||||||||||||
472 | Decker Shado | Halloween 4 Movie Review | Released in 1988, 10 years after Halloween, Halloween 4 takes place 10 years after the Haddonfield incident. Michael Myers escapes a transfer, and returns to Haddonfield to stalk babysitters and murder a long lost female family member on Halloween night, but his old doctor is here to stop him! Yes, that is the plot of both movies. | ||||||||||||||
473 | Decker Shado | Halloween 5 Movie Review | After returning, Michael Myers sought REVENGE! By waiting one year to try again, because it just feels weird to kill your family on Thanksgiving. Either way, Jamie returns, and we don't completely forget about her stabbing her mother, we just ignore it because... it's more samey that way? | ||||||||||||||
474 | Decker Shado | Halloween The Curse of Michael Myers Movie Review | So after Halloween 4 set up Jamie as the new killer... then.. Halloween 5 set up Jamie as the psychic girl, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers set up Jamie as a mildly important but mostly disposable character so we can get to the REAL important details! Which still aren't quite hammered out, don't make sense, and differ depending on which version of the movie you watch. What fun!<br> | ||||||||||||||
475 | Decker Shado | Halloween H20 Movie Review | Released 20 years after the original Halloween, a fact that they never EVER let you forget, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later is Halloween's return after the slasher genre revival of the late 90s. As such, while it IS a Halloween movie, has Michael Myers and even Laurie Strode in it... it does come off like most of the feel of the movie was more inspired by Scream. | ||||||||||||||
476 | Decker Shado | The Predator Movie Review | Shane Black's "The Predator" just hit theaters in my area... and I've got some words for it. | ||||||||||||||
477 | Decker Shado | Halloween Resurrection Movie Review | From Haddonfield to Hollywood and suddenly back to Haddonfield, Halloween went from a guy walking around town and looking at people while maybe deciding to kill them to this! A bunch of teens just gathering up, and rushing forward into that place he likes to hang out and kill so many people because... well... logic doesn't matter, it's all orchestrated by Tyra Banks and Busta Rhymes for crissakes. | ||||||||||||||
478 | Decker Shado | Rob Zombie's Halloween Movie Review | Considering how well Halloween Resurrection went down, it shouldn't be too surprising that the next movie in the franchise would turn out to be a remake of the first. However, this one is notable as it's written, directed and produced by Rob Zombie. Of course, that means you have the events of the first movie re-imagined through a lens of gore, sleeze and characters not even their own mother would love. Oh boy... | ||||||||||||||
479 | Decker Shado | Halloween 2018 Movie Review | 40 years after John Carpenter's Halloween, a new entry in the series seeks to do one thing if nothing else... write out of existence literally every single sequel in the franchise, and the Rob Zombie films to boot. Other than that, exactly how does it stack up as a modern slasher, as well as a Halloween movie? | ||||||||||||||
480 | Decker Shado | Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 Movie Review | ...well, it looks like the amazon link shortener isn't working today.<br><br>ANYWAY! Halloween 2 was Rob Zombie's follow up to the 2007 Halloween. Similarly, it's written and directed by Rob Zombie, his wife plays a major role in this one, arguably moreso than the first, and everyone in Haddonfield is an irredeemable jerk who gets what's coming to them. Unfortunately though, with more freedom to do what he wants it seems the last thing Rob Zombie was interested in doing, was making a Halloween movie. | ||||||||||||||
481 | Decker Shado | ZombeX Movie Review | Getting back into the swing of "whatever I feel like" why not pick up a bargain bin indie zombie horror film? Well.. for one thing, it's been a while since that strategy has really worked out well for me... but surely ZombeX will be the cure! ...no? No, it's still astonishingly bad? Oh well... | ||||||||||||||
482 | Decker Shado | RoboCop Movie Review | This is one of those movies that gives you exactly what it promises with the title. RoboCop is the tale of a robotic cop, a former man who was rebuilt into a crime fighting machine! Literally! | ||||||||||||||
483 | Decker Shado | RoboCop 2 Movie Review | The sequel to the hit Verhoven classic RoboCop, like many sequels to Verhoven movies it does not involve Mr. Verhoven. This change of director of course results in a change of direction, which has been criticized plenty in the past. But let me just be frank here, this isn't nearly the worst follow up to a Verhoven flick I've seen. That title still sits quite firmly in the hands of Starship Troopers 2: Traitor of Mars. | ||||||||||||||
484 | Decker Shado | RoboCop 3 Movie Review | RoboCop 3 was the last of the mainline RoboCop movies, up until the recent RoboCop remake. That might be because of the fact that even the filmmakers didn't quite know what direction to go with the story at this point. Or, the PG-13 rating. Or... well, I guess like always it's simply a combination of many factors. | ||||||||||||||
485 | Decker Shado | RoboCop (2014) Movie Review | After RoboCop lost it's way, going from a dark tale with light hearted presentation to a light hearted tale, RoboCop (2014) set forth to course correct... probably too much. Giving us a dark tale with dark presentation. Well, who needs intentional humor in movies anyway? | ||||||||||||||
486 | Decker Shado | Glass Movie Review | The newest from M. Night Shyamalan, Glass follows up and crosses over the classic Unbreakable with the more recent but still very well received Split. We explore if these seemingly superhuman specimens are indeed comic book caliber supers, or if perhaps it's all in their heads and everything has a far more mundane explanation. Of course, this is a Shyamalan movie so you bet your ass not everything is as it seems. | ||||||||||||||
487 | Decker Shado | The Predator Movie Review | The Predator released in 2018 after quite a long gap since the last entry in the series. With the return of Shane Black, an actor from the original movie, as writer and co-director of this entry, surely what made Predator great will... be completely ignored in favor of effectively making a parody movie and releasing it as if it was a serious entry. | ||||||||||||||
488 | Decker Shado | Moontrap Movie Review | A cult classic B movie that is perhaps the purest example of a B movie, Moontrap isn't a cheesefest of tounge-in-cheek sillyness that happens to be low budget, but rather a relatively serious movie about horrible alien robot things that intend to take over the Earth... which happens to have a budget well below what the vision needs to be realized with the standards we associate with serious films. However, they don't let that get in the way and still present a rather interesting look at a slice of movie history. | ||||||||||||||
489 | Decker Shado | Moontrap: Target Earth Movie Review | Moontrap was a super low budget Sci-Fi movie from the late 80s that managed to grow a decent cult following in the decades since it's release. Thus, the writer and director decided to try their hands at fundraising a sequel. After a few missteps, they finally managed to get Moontrap: Target Earth made in 2017. However... despite the fact that the writer and director are back at it, things are very... VERY different this time around... | ||||||||||||||
490 | Decker Shado | The Meg Movie Review | A contender for the title of longest time stuck in development hell, The Meg's movie rights were first sold before the first novel was even published. However, it would take 22 years and a joint project between Hollywood and China before the film would actually see the light of day. Jason Statham fights a giant shark. There's your plot. | ||||||||||||||
491 | Decker Shado | Atlantic Rim Movie Review | When there's a big movie coming out, you can count on The Asylum to throw together some shoestring budget cash grab to capitalize on the name alone, and release it around the same time! Atlantic Rim is one of those movies. It worked, if it weren't for the name and obvious rip off of Pacific Rim, who the hell would still be talking about it? | ||||||||||||||
492 | Decker Shado | Halloween (2018) Movie Review | Halloween is a sequel to Halloween, but not Halloween. As in the Halloween continuity, not the Halloween one. There's a lot of damn Halloween movies called Halloween... Either way, Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode to Haddonfield where we see absolutely nothing happened since the original movie. However, her plot sense tells her to spend 40 years preparing to take out Michael Myers! | ||||||||||||||
493 | Decker Shado | I Spit on Your Grave Movie Review | A movie with the distinct "honor" of being banned from many, many countries. A video nasty, a film who's reputation as truly horrifying shocksploitation proceeds it so much you might not realize just what you're getting into. That's what happens when things are banned left and right for far less. Heed the warning in the opening well. | ||||||||||||||
494 | Decker Shado | Godzilla VS Megaguirus Movie Review | The follow-up to Godzilla 2000, Godzilla VS Megaguirus doesn't have to spend as much time introducing the monster, so we can get right to the great big monster brawl! That is, if we didn't spend so much running time in this movie introducing Godzilla again.. and waiting for the big bad monster he has to brawl to grow up. | ||||||||||||||
495 | Decker Shado | I Spit on Your Grave (2010) Movie Review | A remake of the 1978 film that just to review, I felt the need to put a minute long warning in front of. This time taking place in 2010 and starring Sarah Butler, how does it continue the legacy of the original? Well, I may only have a 30 second warning this time, but there's still a warning... | ||||||||||||||
496 | Decker Shado | Evil Bong 420 Movie Review | Bringing the Evil Bong back since we last saw her in Gingerdead Man vs Evil Bong, Evil Bong 420 takes us to... a bowling alley! And stays there.. for the entire running time, which isn't all that long honestly. That's pretty much it... not exactly the most exciting flick I've seen in a while. | ||||||||||||||
497 | Decker Shado | Batman Ninja Movie Review | Another one of those collaborations between American and Japanese studios, Batman Ninja takes Batman and makes him a Ninja! It also takes Ninjas and turns them in to Batmen. Bats are also Ninjas that turn into Men. Okay, so it's time travel and Japan and probably even crazier than you can imagine. | ||||||||||||||
498 | Decker Shado | Rumble in the Bronx Movie Review | Known as Hung fan kui for it's 1995 release in Hong Kong, the 96 release "Rumble in the Bronx" introduced the world to Jackie Chan! Again, as he was already pretty well known.. but still! When it comes to stunts and action choreography, it's hard to go wrong with Jackie Chan. Oh, and the movie's about something about New York and some diamond heist or something. I unno. | ||||||||||||||
499 | Decker Shado | Drunken Master Movie Review | Not Jackie Chan's first movie, or his big break, but certainly one of the oldest films to star the man that people might actually know about if you bring it up! Drunken Master tells the story of a man named Fred, who disappoints his father, Robert... at least according to the dub... and must restore his honor with harsh martial arts training! In Drunken Boxing, so there's a silver lining at least. | ||||||||||||||
500 | Decker Shado | Rush Hour Movie Review | The Summer of Jackie Chan continues, with one of the most requested Jackie Chan movies to be reviewed. Rush Hour, from 1998, marks the first time Jackie Chan was tasked with speaking his mostly English lines completely clearly on set, as there would be no over-dubbing this time. Oddly enough, while tasked with being as coherent as possible, they teamed him up with Chris Tucker for this one. | ||||||||||||||
501 | Decker Shado | Supercop Movie Review | A strange little release in America, Supercop is actually the 3rd film of the Police Story franchise, Police Story 3: Super Cop. Or it kind of is, as a few things are modified here and there, but all in all it's still a movie about Jackie Chan going to fantastic locations, meeting interesting people, and beating the crap out of them. Plus a helicopter to dangle from! | ||||||||||||||
502 | Decker Shado | Glass Movie Review | The third in a trilogy so long in the making.. well, it's honestly a miracle it was finished. Kevin from Split was supposed to be introduced in Unbreakable, the story goes, but keeping the story concise meant cuts had to be made. By the time Split was produced, it was under a different company. Somehow M. Night convinced them to work together and allow the third movie of the trilogy to be made. That's an even bigger twist than he could come up with himself, I'd say. | ||||||||||||||
503 | Decker Shado | Rush Hour 2 Movie Review | The 2nd Rush Hour film, Rush Hour 2 is a story about Jackie Chan being a cop from Hong Kong, teaming up with Chris Tucker, a cop from LA, to stamp out a crime ring that starts in Hong Kong before crossing the Pacific into Los Angeles. It's different this time! | ||||||||||||||
504 | Decker Shado | Shanghai Noon Movie Review | It's a railroad, not a quarry.<br><br>ANYWAY, this week we're looking at Shanghai Noon, where Jackie Chan meets up with Owen Wilson for an adventure through the Wild West! And... that sentence alone scarily enough has told you absolutely everything you have to know about this movie. So why not watch a video review of it that's over 20 minutes long? | ||||||||||||||
505 | Decker Shado | The Legend of Drunken Master Movie Review | Jackie Chan is BACK, as the Drunken Master in Drunken Master 2! Which is more a remake.. or a reboot.. or a retelling? It's the legend of Fei-Hung Wong, the Drunken Master, and aside from the characters at play and the drunken boxing there's little here that lines up with the original in terms of a remake or a sequel. Point is, Jackie Chan and ass kickery await! | ||||||||||||||
506 | Decker Shado | Battle Creek Brawl Movie Review | Okay, this time for reals this is the first Jackie Chan movie made in America. For true! He even speaks english! And I feel very confused... but not as confused as America, as this crazy guy showed up and backflipped his way through the action scenes. It seems like he was the only one who knew he'd be doing that. | ||||||||||||||
507 | Decker Shado | Shanghai Knights Movie Review | The sequel to Shanghai Noon, Shanhai Knights takes Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson and drops them in England in order to do the "because it's in England!" movie. That's... pretty much all you need to know. Ready for all the jokes you can handle about crazy British foodstuffs and historical events that.. more often then not are very VERY off of the date this film takes place in? ..why, what's wrong with you? | ||||||||||||||
508 | Decker Shado | The Foreigner Movie Review | A much more recent Jackie Chan outing, The Foreigner (2017) puts the man opposite Pierce Brosnan in a drama thriller thingamajig involving the Metro police, the IRA and all kinds of factions. No, this is not the Steven Seagal movie of the same name. My nightmares about reviewing the same movie multiple times by accident shall live on for another day... | ||||||||||||||
509 | Decker Shado | Rush Hour 3 Movie Review | The third and final movie of the Rush Hour Trilogy, Rush Hour 3 puts Jackie Chan opposite Chris Tucker in a buddy cop flick where two police officers from different sides of the globe must team up, and put cultural differences aside to work together and stamp out China's largest criminal organization! Now this might sound exactly like what we've already seen before.. but this time it's in FRANCE! | ||||||||||||||
510 | Decker Shado | IT Chapter Two Movie Review | The follow-up to the 2017 IT movie, IT Chapter Two picks things up right where that one left off. However, if you think seeing the 1990 IT miniseries means you know what Chapter 2 entails... well, you are right for about 20 minutes of this 3 hour movie. | ||||||||||||||
511 | Decker Shado | City Hunter Movie Review | The black sheep of the Jackie Chan filmography, City Hunter is a 1993 live action adaptation of an 80s maga/anime of the same name. Anime style antics are common throughout, and the concept of logic should be left far, far behind if you intend to take in this feature. Then again... when have I ever praised a movie for it's firm grip on reality? | ||||||||||||||
512 | Decker Shado | The Blair Witch Project Movie Review | The found footage film seen round the world, The Blair Witch Project had a massive marketing campaign that three filmmakers were lost in the woods in 1994, and their footage was found one year later... but they are still missing! Except they weren't, they were actors and very much still alive. But hey! Everyone thought it was real, so why let things like facts get in the way? | ||||||||||||||
513 | Decker Shado | Suspiria Movie Review | A 1977 horror classic, Suspiria has been remembered for it's delve into psychological horror and the artistic vision of Dario Argentino. However, it has been like 4 decades... how well does it hold up today? | ||||||||||||||
514 | Decker Shado | JOKER Movie Review | Out today in theaters nationwide, Joker is the tale of.. well, The Joker, and how he became The Joker. I think.. I dunno, it's kind of more slice-of-life than I was expecting, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I was supposed to get out of it....<br><br>BTW - AMC has responded to the "no singles" viral picture and stated they have no such policy for screenings of Joker. I can't be certain that this is the be all end all for information regarding that particular picture that had made it's way around the internet, but that's their story and they're sticking to it. | ||||||||||||||
515 | Decker Shado | Bleeding Steel Movie Review | Set far, far into the future, in the mystical year of 2020 Bleeding Steel stars Jackie Chan as Lin Dong. His daughter has a metal heart, which is the heart of this heart-wrenching tale of.. well, bad guys own a spaceship and they want her blood. That's the best I got for ya. | ||||||||||||||
516 | Decker Shado | Doom Annihilation Movie Review | Ahh, movies based on video games. It's not like we haven't been down this road before, considering I've already reviewed the original Doom movie with The Rock in it. Doom: Annihilation seeks to... um, well can't really say they were actually trying to right the wrongs of the past. After all, this one's a straight-to-video romp through hell. Yaaaaaaay... | ||||||||||||||
517 | Decker Shado | The Last House on the Left Movie Review | The 1972 grindhouse classic, The Last House on the Left was Wes Craven's film debut... and what a debut, billed as writer, director and editor of this movie. Teens run into the worst kind of trouble imaginable, but the bad guys have something even worse in store for them.. THE WRATH OF THE PARENTS! | ||||||||||||||
518 | Decker Shado | Countdown Movie Review | A sort of urban legend style horror with a smattering of Final Destination, Countdown is the story of a smartphone app that... well, it only kills you if you don't die when you're supposed to, after downloading the app. It's a kind of roundabout way of going about it, but it can be creepy... and incredibly cheesy. | ||||||||||||||
519 | Decker Shado | House of 1000 Corpses Movie Review | Rob Zombie's movie making career starts here, having both written and directed House of 1000 Corpses. It's got most of the trappings you expect out of a Rob Zombie film - unlikable characters, vulgarity for vulgarity's sake and his wife plays a starring role where she can show off lots of skin. However, underneath all that... is there a truly terrifying tale to tell? No, but some people like it anyway. | ||||||||||||||
520 | Decker Shado | The Shining Movie Review | Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name, The Shining follows the Torrance family as they move in to the Overlook Hotel for Jack's new job as caretaker! However, a classic tale of cabin fever runs into trouble as it finds itself a Stephen King story, and thus the hotel has a dark secret past, the hauntings slowly drive Jack insane... and of course, the kid is psychic. | ||||||||||||||
521 | Decker Shado | Pokemon: Detective Pikachu Movie Review | LIVING LIFE ON THE EDGE! Seriously, reviewing a kid's movie in a video intended for adults right now is the YouTuber equivalent of flossing with electrical wire. Either way, today's review is Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. It's a mystery flick (obviously) that follows the adventures of a pikachu (of course) who is a detective (could have guessed) and can talk. That's not really the twist though, it's more that he's voiced by Ryan Reynolds. | ||||||||||||||
522 | Decker Shado | The Bye Bye Man Movie Review | Psychological supernatural horror? Well why didn't you say so! The Bye Bye Man is a 2017 flick about a mysterious evil that spreads... through people knowing about it! So it's kind of like "you just lost the game" except with death. | ||||||||||||||
523 | Decker Shado | Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie Movie Review | Released in 1995, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is a movie starring the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It's notable as being possibly the first instance of said rangers using only original material, and not writing stories around fight scenes from the Super Sentai series. Despite this... that somehow doesn't make it any more coherent... | ||||||||||||||
524 | Decker Shado | The Eden Formula Movie Review | The 5th movie in the Carnosaur franchise, The Eden Formula tells the tale of a super special medical breakthrough able to do miracles! Miracles such as bringing dinosaurs back to life. Amazing how we always land on that space... but neer-do-wells intend on STEALING THE FORMULA! For... reasons! | ||||||||||||||
525 | Decker Shado | Pterodactyl Movie Review | Another made for TV SyFy movie, Pterodactyl first terrorized the world in 2005, with the tale of how paleontologists have no idea what is or is not a dinosaur, or that maybe you shouldn't be poking around certain areas of the world while there are bad dudes about. Luckily, one of them has a military background which is far more useful than the "scholars" in this situation... | ||||||||||||||
526 | Decker Shado | Split Movie Review | Building on the M. Night Shyamalan cinematic universe, Split introduces us to Kevin Wendell Crumb. He suffers from DID, but not just the movie style multiple personality silliness. This is going into the realm of superhumans, so when James McAvoy jumps from personality to personality and goes on and on about "the beast" and how it will do oh so much damage... yeah.. things get a bit more complex than you usual kidnapped horror... | ||||||||||||||
527 | Decker Shado | The Devil's Rejects Movie Review | The follow-up to House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects is Rob Zombie's second stab at the horror genre. It's considered by many to be a depraved, insanely grim tale only the most messed up people could enjoy. Others say it's one of Zombie's best works. Why don't we have both? | ||||||||||||||
528 | Decker Shado | House IV Movie Review | The fourth and final film in the franchise, House IV went direct to video way back in 1992. William Katt returns as Roger Cobb, and it's kind of hard to say why because this still has next to nothing to do with the original movie. | ||||||||||||||
529 | Decker Shado | House III Movie Review | Possibly the hardest movie in the House series to find, House III, known in the US as "The Horror Show" stars Lance Henriksen as Lucas McCarthy, a cop who has put away one of the worst criminals in history. Sentenced to death via the electric chair, the baddie ends up coming back around for seconds because as it turns out THE GREATEST EVIL OF ALL IS PSEUDOSCIENCE! BWAHAHAHA! | ||||||||||||||
530 | Decker Shado | Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Movie Review | After two less than stellar sequels, things seemed to be on the right track with Jurassic World bringing the Jurassic Park franchise back to it's roots. A big blockbuster dinosaur flick that did so well, another entry in the series seemed obvious. Indeed, this movie made gangbusters at the box office, bringing in over 1 billion dollars on a 170 million dollar budget. However... that doesn't mean that the movie itself was THAT fantastic... | ||||||||||||||
531 | Decker Shado | Bad CGI Sharks Movie Review | The brainchild of MaJaMa, Bad CGI Sharks follows the tale of two brothers who dream of making their own shark movie! That.. kind of sounds like exactly what they were doing, but things take a turn for the "reasons to watch this movie" when the sharks in question become REALITY and begin hunting down victims in LA! Considering the budget, that's almost exclusively these two and their close friends, so best to do something about that shark problem, eh? | ||||||||||||||
532 | Decker Shado | Species II Movie Review | The last movie ended on sequel bait, so where does the sequel start off? A different planet without even the slightest acknowledgement of said sequel bait. Well that's just lovely... This time, the alien comes from Mars, it infects people, and it's vulnerability is dependent on the scene we're in. | ||||||||||||||
533 | Decker Shado | Stitches Movie Review | Starring comedian Ross Noble as Stitches the clown, Stitches is the tale of a clown who has a fateful final birthday party show he never got to finish... until six years later, when he comes back from the grave to do so in ways even harder to clean up than overzealous application of cake and gelatin! | ||||||||||||||
534 | Decker Shado | IT Chapter Two Movie Review | The second half of the theatrical adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel IT, It: Chapter Two picks up 27 years after the last movie left off. That one focused on the loser's club adventures as kids, and this one... well it focuses mostly on them as kids again, but they do have adult versions that do things! ...sometimes? | ||||||||||||||
535 | Decker Shado | Shakes the Clown Movie Review | A Bobcat Goldthwait comedy... bet'cha didn't see that one coming, eh? Shakes the Clown is written, directed by and starring Bobcat as Shakes, a clown with a drinking problem. However, his problems soon begin to multiply, and only a high speed chase and beating the crap out of some other clowns can result in him getting a fabulous career! No.. no, that's not a joke. | ||||||||||||||
536 | Decker Shado | Joker Movie Review | One of the biggest hits of 2019, Joker broke records for box office earnings on comparatively small budgets. It also did not result in any kind of.. well, things I simply cannot describe in the description without risking a yellow dollar sign on the whole video, despite what many articles assumed. This is neither here nor there though, the important question is... is the movie really that amazing? | ||||||||||||||
537 | Decker Shado | Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie Movie Review | Why am I doing this? Everyone already knows I'm not a huge Power Rangers fan, I don't really get something out of hating the Power Rangers, so why, Creepy? Why do you torment me with these crossovers? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! Because I certainly wasn't. | ||||||||||||||
538 | Decker Shado | The Wizard of Speed and Time Movie Review | In 1979, Mike Jittlov made a mark on Hollywood with the creation of the special effects short "The Wizard of Speed and Time" - and over the following decade, turned that ordeal into a movie! It has become somewhat of a cult classic, but emphasis on the cult because I'm sure most of you out there haven't even heard about this one... which is a shame. | ||||||||||||||
539 | Decker Shado | 3 From Hell Movie Review | The long awaited, much requested sequel to Rob Zombie's most acclaimed film The Devil's Rejects, 3 From Hell.. well.. it came out? Really didn't have the impact that The Devil's Rejects did. There are reasons for that, though a lot of those reasons couldn't be helped. Nevertheless exactly how did the movie hold up on it's own merits? | ||||||||||||||
540 | Decker Shado | Saw Movie Review | The first of a long series of movies, Saw was actually the first major film project of two friends fresh out of film school. Understanding they have a very small budget, the movie stands as a great example of how to do a lot with a little.. though sometimes, they use that little quite a lot... | ||||||||||||||
541 | Decker Shado | Saw II Movie Review | The follow up to "the chopped off foot seen round the world" Saw II was also not originally even a Saw movie, at least in it's earliest form. The script was reworked to fit the mythos far better than how a lot of franchises have done it, and it's got it's twists as well. But... does it have enough of them? | ||||||||||||||
542 | Decker Shado | Saw III Movie Review | When you just can't seem to get people to appreciate life because they keep dying when you do your little games... well, why not set up a game for someone where no matter how badly they do they somehow still survive? ...because that's massively frustrating to the viewer? ...oh, whoops... | ||||||||||||||
543 | Decker Shado | Saw IV Movie Review | Considering most of the important characters were taken out last time, that begs the question... where does Saw IV go from there? You'd think maybe the sequel bait they ended Saw III with, but... nope! It goes... EVERYWHERE. | ||||||||||||||
544 | Decker Shado | Saw VI Movie Review | Saw VI is about INSURANCE! There's also twists and retcons along the way, but man did the writer have a hate boner for allstate... | ||||||||||||||
545 | Decker Shado | Saw: The Final Chapter Movie Review | How do you follow up the big twist that the big bad was so bad that the previous bad had a contingency plan that they were to be removed that they deftly thwarted? Why a two part sendoff with even more backstory and even more twists! What do you do when said movie under-performed at the box office though? Smush the plot into a single movie, call it a day and hope no one notices if you throw enough crap into their faces... IN 3D! | ||||||||||||||
546 | Decker Shado | Saw V Movie Review | Well, now that Saw IV has shown us that Hoffman is not only the new Jigsaw but has in fact been WORKING FOR JIGSAW THE ENTIRE TIIIIIME... that's gonna require some splainin. Also, there's a fresh batch of meat for the grinder because... well, it is a Saw movie. | ||||||||||||||
547 | Decker Shado | Jigsaw Movie Review | The final movie in the Saw franchise... for the time being anyway... Jigsaw saw the return of the Jigsaw killer 11 years after his death. OR DID IT?! As you should know by now, the answer to that question comes within the last 5 minutes of the film, because it's oh so much fun to invest so much time in a franchise just for it to save it all up for some big "twist" right at the end that makes most of the showcase mere fluff because of some arbitrary new lore that gets shoehorned in at the last second. FUN! | ||||||||||||||
548 | Decker Shado | Robot Overlords Movie Review | A relatively recent Science Fiction movie about that time that the Earth was taken over by an occupying force of sentient robots. Unfortunately for them though, they didn't take into account just how adept human teenagers are at wrecking technology. | ||||||||||||||
549 | Decker Shado | Saban's Power Rangers Movie Review | The dark and gritty reimagining of the bright and colorful campy as ever Saturday morning show, Power Rangers (aka Saban's Power Rangers) wondered hey what if we did THAT.. but horrifying? Also, with those real world drama points that are all the rage these days. They wondered that for like 90 minutes before the movie even kicks off.... | ||||||||||||||
550 | Decker Shado | Candyman Movie Review | Just when you thought it was safe to stare into a mirror with the lights off and say some spooky ghost's name five times! ...wait a minute... okay, bad example, but Candyman is still an interesting example of the urban legend genre, in that it is a recognizable tale while at the same time an original one. Also, personally I find Candyman less scary and more... cuddly? Those baby bees are so cute! | ||||||||||||||
551 | Decker Shado | Reigo King of the Sea Monsters Movie Review | So it's been years since Gamerathon 3 and I've still yet to get a chance to watch Gamera 4: The Truth. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I can't find more kaiju flicks directed by the man who created it! That brings us to Reigo: King of the Sea Monsters. It's a big monster from the deep sea, and it likes to smash things. That's.. pretty much it. | ||||||||||||||
552 | Decker Shado | The Velocipastor Movie Review | Dinocember 2020 starts proper with this "classic" from 2018: The Velocipastor! Ever wondered what happens when you cross a pastor with a velociraptor? Probably something considerably more serious than we see here, but if you want a silly low budget flick with dinosaurs, deities and death... well you're in the right place. | ||||||||||||||
553 | Decker Shado | Tammy and the T-Rex Movie Review | Dinocember continues! ...Barely! With Tammy and the T-Rex, or as it is known in this print "Tanny and the Teenage T-Rex." I have to say, I like the new name better. Rolls off the tongue, and at no point in the movie does it sound like they call Denise Richards "Tanny." She plays Tammy, and her boyfriend's brain gets put into a mechanical T-Rex before he goes on a rampage. Fun! | ||||||||||||||
554 | Decker Shado | Candyman Farewell to the Flesh Movie Review | The follow up to Clive Barker's "Candyman" Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh digs deep into the history of the haunt... by completely uprooting it and changing the origin location almost entirely. Because y'all know I love me some retroactive continuity... | ||||||||||||||
555 | Decker Shado | They Live Movie Review | CJohn Carpenter's film adaptation of Eight O' Clock in the Morning, They Live sees professional wrestler Roddy Piper discovering that the world he thought he knew was a lie, and that a secret society controls all the wo | ||||||||||||||
556 | Decker Shado | Drive Thru Movie Review | The March of the Clowns is finally back! Starting off this year with Drive Thru, a... you guessed it... CLOWN themed horror movie from 2007. This one's a fast food chain mascot. However, regrettably little of the running time even takes place at said restaurant, let alone specifically in the drive thru... | ||||||||||||||
557 | Decker Shado | All Hallows' Eve Movie Review | Before Terrifier, there was Terrifier. That is, a short, by Damien Leone starring Art the Clown. Of course, you can't release a 90 minute short, that's a whole dang movie. Thus, we have a HORROR ANTHOLOGY today! All stories by Damien Leone, and all involving Art the Clown! ...depending on how loosely you define that. | ||||||||||||||
558 | Decker Shado | Terrifier Movie Review | Art the Clown is back! Or, is... in his first outing! Depends on where you put the previous Damien Leone shorts in the hierarchy, but Terrifier is a full 90 minute romp where Art the Clown does what Art the Clown does best. No, that is not explain his motives in the slightest. | ||||||||||||||
559 | Decker Shado | The March of the Clowns concludes! I sure had a lot planned for that.. and am considerably late, sooooo let's get it done as quickly as possible with a special TRIPLE REVIEW! Looking at Mr. Jingles, Jingles the Clown and ClownTown. Mr. Jingles is about a killer clown. Jingles the Clown, much the same. ClownTown is about an entire CITY full of them! And I still can't make sense of any of it! | |||||||||||||||
560 | Decker Shado | Tremors Shrieker Island Movie Review | The seventh movie in the Tremors franchise, and as such the seventh entry starring Michael Gross! Gross returns as Burt Gummer, whisked out of retirement to face Graboids, yet again. Possibly the "tropical paradise" angle was yet another means to convince the actor to come back once more. | ||||||||||||||
561 | Decker Shado | Raiga God of the Monsters Movie Review | When you just have to stomp a city to the ground, but only have about $25 and some leftover pocky to do it with, you make due! Reigo: King of the Sea Monsters did the best it could with what little they had to work with. Raiga: God of the Monsters, follows up that story by changing tone drastically and proudly declaring that if people are gonna laugh at the movie anyway, they might as well make it a comedy. | ||||||||||||||
562 | Decker Shado | Candyman 3 Day of the Dead Movie Review | The third, and final entry in the Candyman franchise (at least for the next 22 years) Candyman 3: Day of the Dead is the story about when Candyman came back for the 3rd time, this time on the Day of the Dead. A relatively by the numbers straight to video sequel, Day of the Dead is... lacking, to say the least. | ||||||||||||||
563 | Decker Shado | God Raiga VS King Ohga Movie Review | The latest kaiju flick from the mind of Shinpei Hayashia, Raiga vs Ohga The War of the Monsters is the newest entry in the Reigo/Raiga saga. Which I guess is the Ohga saga now as well, and the bone fish are back and called something else yet again... but honestly, I'm impressed I was able to figure out that much of the movie. Most of it is just explosions and fire and lasers and special effects filling the screen. Oh so many special effects.... | ||||||||||||||
564 | Decker Shado | Willy's Wonderland Movie Review | The latest offering from Nicolas Cage.. unless he's even more prolific than I realize, is a take on what I guess you could call the "animatronic attractions come to life and everything is horror" genre. It ain't Five Nights at Freddy's, but it does actually take advantage of that fact and form it's own identity in the process. | ||||||||||||||
565 | Decker Shado | Snake Eyes Movie Review | THE SUMMER OF NICOLAS CAGE continues with a little whodunit cop drama con... wait, YouTube doesn't like that word... ummm.. spooky coincidences flick? Well, Cage stars as Rick Santoro, who behaves as you would expect a cop played by Nicolas Cage to do. | ||||||||||||||
566 | Decker Shado | Ghost Rider Movie Review | THE SUMMER OF NICOLAS CAGE continues with Ghost Rider, a 2007 comic book film starring.. well, Nicolas Cage as... um.. Ghost Rider. Well, there's deals with the devil, the classic comic book hero's love interest rocky relationship, and the world hanging in the balance, but honestly I'm just here for the flaming skeletons and motorcycles. | ||||||||||||||
567 | Decker Shado | Con Air Movie Review | One of the so-called "holy trinity" of Nicolas Cage action flicks, Con Air is the story of a maximum security prison airplane being hijacked, and our con with a heart of gold, Nicolas Cage, doing everything in his power to make sure the good guys win and the bad guys EXPLODE! Preferably after he's already off the plane, and a safe distance away. | ||||||||||||||
568 | Decker Shado | The Wicker Man Movie Review | Famously terrible, The Wicker Man stars Nicolas Cage as Edward Malus, a cop tasked with finding a missing girl. Not by his station, but a random letter. Don't worry, compared to his adventure ahead, that's the part of the story that actually makes the most sense. | ||||||||||||||
569 | Decker Shado | Lord of War Movie Review | The 2005 quasi-biopic about the "merchant of death" Lord of War stars Nicolas Cage as Yuri Orlov, based not so much on the physicist Yuri Orlov, but more on the gun runner Viktor Bout. He plays.. well, a gun runner, running guns and getting all them moneys, and we see the toll it has on him, his family, and lest we forget the world at large... | ||||||||||||||
570 | Decker Shado | Mandy Movie Review | I'm supposed to type something out here to let you all know exactly what kind of a movie Mandy is. The problem with that, is in order for me to be able to accomplish this task, I first have to know what kind of a movie Mandy is. After several times watching it, I'm still not sure. However! It sure has a lot of establishing shots, and slow artistic uses of angles and zoom! And a body count, so that helps. | ||||||||||||||
571 | Decker Shado | Color out of Space Movie Review | The 2019 film adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour out of Space" starring Nicolas Cage, Color out of Space is about.. a.. color. Weird color, never seen any color like it before. That's because this color just so happens to have come out of space. In classic Lovecraft fashion, that means it leads to horror, insanity and a whole bunch of stuff that's considerably easier to pen down in an open ended fashion for a book than try to cram into a feature film. | ||||||||||||||
572 | Decker Shado | Vampire's Kiss Movie Review | THE SUMMER OF NICOLAS CAGE concludes, with Vampire's Kiss! A rather crazy little romp through New York in the 80s, when Nick Cage was younger and not quite so well known. However, most everyone on the planet now knows his face, and it's from screenshots of this movie even if they don't realize it. A chance encounter with a vampire leads Nicolas Cage into a spiral of insanity and depravity... or he's just insane and depraved, and the odd part is his sudden obsession with vampires? | ||||||||||||||
573 | Decker Shado | Deep Blue Sea 3 Movie Review | After Deep Blue Sea taught us that even the smartest shark flick can be incredibly dumb, Deep Blue Sea 2 came... decades later, to show us that no, not all good things come to those who wait. That did open the door for even more sequels though, which we have with 2020's Deep Blue Sea 3. A tale of... sharks. They're kinda smart, and they eat people. Why do I feel like we've seen this all before? | ||||||||||||||
574 | Decker Shado | The Matrix Movie Review | A movie with such a cultural impact, you would be hard pressed to find someone who isn't annoyed with at least one of the things this particular film has brought us. Be it the red pill blue pill dichotomy, bullet time or a generation of teenagers who espouse philosophical statements while having absolutely no idea what any of them mean. Despite this, from the very same group of people you would have a hard time finding anyone who honestly disliked the movie itself... so what is The Matrix? That is the question now, innit? | ||||||||||||||
575 | Decker Shado | Species III Movie Review | Finally, after years and years of not having quite enough time to get to this, I have no time for anything but got to this anyway! Species III, the 3rd movie in the Species franchise. What's new this time? We went straight to DVD, have next to no budget, and best of all it's now all centered around a random college campus! That keeps the cast nice and young, so it's more relatable, right? ....right? | ||||||||||||||
576 | Decker Shado | Scream Movie Review | The 1996 classic, Scream was a more satirical take on the even more classic slasher movie genre. Despite this, Slasher veteran, horror god and legendary director Wes Craven was brought on to direct. This results in a self aware slasher, poking fun at the tropes the entire running time, while also delivering some legit scares and tension when the body count rises. | ||||||||||||||
577 | Decker Shado | The Matrix Reloaded Movie Review | The highly anticipated sequel to the smash hit The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded... didn't quite live up to the hype, you could say. That's not to say they didn't give it their all, on a technical level the sequel is far larger, more expensive and the story is far grander in scale. The problem is that in all that grandeur, the movie kinda forgets to make sure the basics are taken care of. | ||||||||||||||
578 | Decker Shado | Death Race 2050 Movie Review | For a movie series about the Death Race coming to an end, there sure are a lot of Death Races. Death Race 2050 is Roger Corman taking the reigns back after the late 2000s early 2010s Death Race trilogy with Jason Statham. While fine movies in their own right, they really had next to nothing to do with the original 70s B-movie Death Race 2000. So Corman steers this out of control flaming wreck back on course, with a three day race spanning a dystopian America, where pedestrian kills rack up points for over the top personalities! But this time, with a 50 at the end of the title. | ||||||||||||||
579 | Decker Shado | Scream 2 Movie Review | Scream 2, filmed under the title "Scream: The Sequel" is, wouldn't you know it? The sequel to Scream! As such, it's more of the same, people around Sidney Prescott begin dropping like flies due to the extracurricular activities of a ghostfaced masked killer... but this is also directed by Wes Craven, so that honestly goofy setup somehow is played completely straight, and doesn't skimp on the horror. But the desire to keep the audience guessing about the killer... well... might lead to some odd direction at times. | ||||||||||||||
580 | Decker Shado | Death Race Beyond Anarchy Movie Review | It seems I was wrong in the Death Race 2050 review to call the reboot series a "trilogy." While it has been called such and marketed as such for quite some time, in 2018 a 4th movie in that timeline was released. Death Race: Beyond Anarchy. This time around, the prison is less a prison and more a dystopian wasteland, that happens to be a prison. There's a death race going on, and people are interested in winning it for one reason or another. Most importantly however, is that I had to be careful to edit around a TON of skin. | ||||||||||||||
581 | Decker Shado | The Matrix Revolutions Movie Review | The third, and for a good long while there final film in the Matrix series, Revolutions is part 2 of Reloaded, effectively finishing off the 4 and a half hour sequel of the first. The war for Zion is coming to a head, The Matrix is tearing itself apart, and the oracle got a spiffy new outfit! If your like your Matrix movies to spend time in The Matrix however.... might be disappointed here. | ||||||||||||||
582 | Decker Shado | Guns Akimbo Movie Review | While the moniker of "Harry Potter" seemed to be destine to be what Daniel Radcliffe would be known for forever, he's been hard at work acting in some of the most off the wall stuff you've ever seen. Such as this week's review of Jason Howden's "Guns Akimbo" where Daniel plays Miles Harris, a geeky nobody with an averagely terrible life that becomes INCREDIBLY TERRIBLE when he wakes up one day with guns bolted to his hands! The reasons are just as crazy as you'd imagine, and the results even more so. | ||||||||||||||
583 | Decker Shado | Godzilla King of the Monsters Movie Review | Or as I like to call it: King Ghidora vs The Incredible Mark, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the second Godzilla movie in Legendary's American-made series. This time around, TONS of monsters have popped up EVERYWHERE! Even worse.. the big three-headed rival of Godzilla makes his hundred million dollar CGI debut, King Ghidorah. Ne'er-do-wells, professional monster organizations and worldwide military groups seem out of their element with such a thing going on. But Mark is here, to show up absolutely everyone, and masterfully thwart the kaiju menace almost singlehandedly! | ||||||||||||||
584 | Decker Shado | Ape vs Monster Movie Review | Back by... strangely popular demand, it's an Asylum review! You wouldn't think that Godzilla and King Kong could return to the big screen without the gigantic kings of mockbusters capitalizing on that, would ya? In that spirit, this week's review is Ape vs Monster, a movie about an ape that becomes giant, and must do battle with a monster which is also giant. However, at 90 minutes, the ape vs monster battle accounts for maybe one of those... so... hope you really like human characters, and don't care much about variety of sets, or quality of acting for that matter. | ||||||||||||||
585 | Decker Shado | Galaxy of Terror Movie Review | A cult classic from 1981, Galaxy of Terror was a Roger Corman production attempting to rip off Alien but for a fraction of the cost. Not only that, but while you have your tiny sampling of the obligatory big but not too big stars to attract an audience, quite a few much bigger names make up the rest of the cast. Just.. you know, back when they were doing Galaxy of Terror instead of the thing that they actually became world famous for, soon after. ANYWAY! It's about a planet where people get offed. Also, there is this worm thing... | ||||||||||||||
586 | Decker Shado | Blood Harvest Movie Review | THE MARCH OF THE CLOWNS 2022 kicks off with a cult classic slasher from 1987, Blood Harvest! Tiny Tim stars as Mervo the Magnificent, a clown who happens to be around while a horror movie occurs. People are missing, the final girl is being tormented, and the director is trying to figure out how many scenes he can get her in with as little attire as possible. But hey! There's a clown in a few scenes, so it still counts. | ||||||||||||||
587 | Decker Shado | Clown (2019) Movie Review | The Asylum strikes again, this time bringing us a movie that just so happens to be about a Clown, and just so happens to be named differently enough from the much better movie "Clown" and also just so happened to come out just before IT: Chapter Two. What a coincidence. Also, it just so happens to be terrible. | ||||||||||||||
588 | Decker Shado | The Funhouse Massacre Movie Review | Clown horror with some actual production value behind it, The Funhouse Massacre brings the likes of Clint Howard and Robert Englund to the table! Though the main events really don't focus on either of them for all that long. Heck, Clint is around for more of the movie and yet somehow gets even less screentime. Still, horror comedy with clowns! That's gotta have some good points to it, right? | ||||||||||||||
