Movie Review: Pandemic (2009)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, May 18, 2020

Pandemic Report card: Runtime: Ninety long minutes. Acting: Good to awful. Effects: Meh. Violence: Not …

Movie Review: Toxic Skies (2008)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, May 11, 2020

I’m going to give this movie the review it deserves: this movie is ungodly stupid. Now, I was interested in this one for two reasons. One, it was an interesting premise: an outbreak… started by chemtrails. That’s an awesome idea, because that conspiracy theory is nuts. Two, Anne Heche is an actual famous person, so …

Movie Review: Twelve Monkeys (1995)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, May 4, 2020

With Bonus Music! This movie review comes with a bonus synthwave song featuring a few lines from the film: Le Matos: 58 Minutes pour vivre. All right, so this isn’t quite the same as our other movies. We don’t see as much of the plague unraveling society, but we do see the horrible dystopian future …

Movie Review: 28 Weeks Later

By Adam Lawson on Monday, April 27, 2020

Short update this week, hitting the high points: This movie isn’t terribly different in terms of content from the last. There’s a lot of infected and gore related to that. The virus is the same. In this sequel, they go back to England, re-introducing people to the island. Only, something happens, and now the infection …

Movie Review: 28 Days Later

By Adam Lawson on Monday, April 20, 2020

But wait, that’s a zombie movie! Nope — these aren’t zombies. They are infected. With a virus. Which makes it qualify for this series. I like this movie, even though one of the first scenes is an odd dick-view. Do they leave people naked in English hospitals? The gist of the story, though: some enviro-nuts …

Movie Review: Contagion (2011)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, April 13, 2020

In Contagion, there is a novel virus spreading from Asia. It is partially sourced from bats, and it jumps to humans through improper handling of food. Stop me if you’ve heard this one. It also causes a global shut-down and the WHO cocks it up a bit. Sound familiar? This one is like our current …

Documentary Review: Hoaxed

By Adam Lawson on Friday, April 10, 2020

Breaking from the B-movie routine to review a documentary The documentary Hoaxed has, in just the last few hours, been the subject of some controversy. Amazon, it seems, has taken it down without reason, justification, or notification. They’ve been taking away purchased digital access from customers without notice. This is highly unusual and I hope …

Movie Review: Outbreak (1995)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, April 6, 2020

Outbreak is our first quarantine/plague-type movie. It’s also one of the least B-movies I’ve reviewed for a very long time, so I’m not on my best footing here. It’s got an all-star cast (Hoffman, Freeman, and Donald Sutherland, to start with), it was a big studio release, and a hit. The virus doesn’t quite fit …

Movie Reviews: Jessabelle

By Adam Lawson on Monday, March 30, 2020

This movie starts out kind of weak, then really picks up, and then totally blows chunks at the end. The concept is neat, but they made a few decisions toward the end that were either a) absolutely mind-numbingly dumb, or b) hilariously dumb (her rolling herself down the pier). Also, there’s a big flaw in …
