This movie sucks. I was fooled because Ray Wise is in it. It gets a report card and nothing else. 1. 28 Days Later 2. Contagion 3. Outbreak 4. 12 Monkeys 5. 28 Weeks Later … 12. Toxic Skies. 13. Pandemic Report card: Runtime: Ninety long minutes. Acting: Good to awful. Effects: Meh. Violence: Not …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
