I almost took a water critter break for some bug movies. I’m glad I didn’t. The first in a connected (I think?) franchise that still occasionally produces a film, the 1978 movie came out the same year as Barracuda, yet manages to check off all the same notes and produce a much more watchable movie. …
I state my regret For fuck’s sake. Last week I talked about how there was a recipe for B Movies that are often enjoyable: small town, attacked by a monster, monster is created by a corrupt power figure, there’s some annoying yokels, there’s some boss figure who is an ass, etc. This movie follows that …
Last set of reviews were shark movies, and to keep the summer theme going I’m going to look at thirteen water-monster and bug-monster related movies. B-movies from the 1970s and 1980s, mostly. We’re starting with the classic Humanoids from the Deep. Almost a year to the day of the first movie review I did in …
And now we’re done with Shark movies: First off: What is up with Julian McMahon’s voice in this movie? Second: This is a nice, different take on shark movies. The folks get stuck in a grocery store when a tsunami hits. It floods the town and brings the sharks to land. There is a LOT …
Has Seedpeople been dethroned? Hoo boy. Before I go any further I’m going to repeat my mantra: Take the movie for what it is, not what I’d like it to be. This is a B-movie. This is a movie about sharks in the arctic. Briefly, the setting: a research station on the ice somewhere in …
I decided to look for something a little more B-movie and a little less serious horror this time. I’ve only got three of these reviews left, and I wanted to get more of a range into them. Sand Sharks is a movie about a group of sharks that live in the sand, literally, eating folks …
Taking a break from Sharknado, our 10th movie in this series is 47 Meters Down. This one is a lot different from the others: instead of being just a shark getting folks at the beach (or on land as in Sharknado), these are people who intentionally lower themselves into the water to look at the …
How many ‘nado puns can we fit? All of ’em. This movie featured a lot of twists on the old fashion sharknadoes from the series so far: lavanado, sharkberg, nuclearnado, and my favorite, cownado, just to name a few. They really went all out with that, and that sort of humor: and to top it …
Quick review as it’s Memorial Day. And what more appropriate than a movie that starts in DC with a billionaire president? I’m just leaving it at the report card and this: it’s okay, but something is missing from the second one. Report Card:Running Time: An hour and a half.Shark Death Total: Far more than the …
I liked this one more than the first, which may be because I had adjusted back into my B-movie zone for this one; I’ll probably do a few more of these before moving on to a different shark movie. This one had a cast of thousands… of cameos. Including a few that did not age …
