Laughing At You, Not With You: The Trailer for THE INTOUCHABLES.

That’s The INtouchables, not The Untouchables.  The Untouchables is a good movie which I’d have no problem watching again anytime.  Let’s have one excellent moment together before the darkness descends. That was nice.  Now back to The Intouchables. Here’s how IMDb describes The Intouchables: After he becomes a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, an aristocrat hires a [...]

Live on @Twitter: WILD HOGS (2007).

The following is what happened when I had to watch Wild Hogs, the movie where four middle-aged movie stars start a motorcycle gang in the interest of wacky slapstick comedy. This one ain’t headed for the Criterion Collection, amigos. ___________________________ Okay guys, here goes: WILD HOGS. Somebody teamed up Tim Allen, John Travolta, and Martin [...]

Live on @Twitter: THE APPLE (1980).

  For all the shit that gets talked about Cleopatra, Heaven’s Gate, Ishtar, Howard The Duck, Gigli, Waterworld, and John Carter, 1980′s The Apple is one of the lesser-acknowledged costly debacles in cinematic history.  Coming from the legendary Golan-Globus production team, The Apple is a sci-fi disco musical/ Biblical allegory set in a future America (1994!) [...]

The Unintentional Comedy of the DARLING COMPANION Trailer.

Darling Companion, which opens today in limited release, has a trailer which had me laughing loudly and obnoxiously for its entire duration every time I saw it pop up in the theaters over the past month.  First watch it, then I’ll give just a few reasons why I think it warrants more ridicule than it’s [...]

LEPRECHAUN BACK 2 THA HOOD (2003).

Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood (2003). Look, you’re a different person after 10 years, if all goes well.  What I got a twisted kick out of in high school, I usually have far less interest in, or patience for, as an adult.  And having since seriously studied and then worked in film, there are things [...]

LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD (2000).

Leprechaun In The Hood (2000). Here the series gets its biggest blast of star power since Jennifer Aniston in the first installment, and the evil Leprechaun gets his most formidable enemy. No doubt fulfilling a career-long ambition, Ice-T appears as a pimp in the 1970s, in a flashback to a time when a man could keep a gun in [...]

Here’s how it went in the recent past… April’s Most Unfortunate Movie Posters. June’s Most Unfortunate Movie Posters. July’s Most Unfortunate Movie Posters. [...]

31 FLAVORS OF HORROR #26: CHOPPING MALL (1986).

Some movies can only be watched after midnight.  They shouldn’t be fed, but they can be watched. And they’ll be watched by a very specific kind of personality.  For me, it started sometime in the very early 1990s.  If I wasn’t wearing out my Ghostbusters or Big Trouble In Little China VHS tapes, I was [...]

31 FLAVORS OF HORROR #9: ANTS (1977).

  Ants is a movie from 1977 that is not to be confused with Empire Of The Ants from the same year, because that kind of a mistake would be just terrible to make, of course.  It’s hard to believe that one year could see the release of two separate movies about an invasion of [...]

Cult Classics: PUNISHER: WAR ZONE (2008).

      PUNISHER: WAR ZONE & THE SAD STATE OF THE CINEMATIC SHIT-KICKER. So I was one of those strange people who watched Punisher: War Zone during its brief theatrical run.  If you’re a fan of left-field action flicks and intentional unintentional humor, I’ll tell you it’s definitely worth that late-night rental.  If you like [...]
