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 …

Movie Reviews: The Curse of La Llorona

By Adam Lawson on Monday, March 23, 2020

Despite the reviews, this movie is pretty good, one of the best Witchy type movies I’ve watched: it will probably end up in the top half of the thirteen, which is pretty good for one of the worst Blumhouse movies I’ve seen. I’ll address that first. This movie was one of the least scary horror …

Movie Review: Witchtrap (1989)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, March 16, 2020

As far as I am aware, this movie stands alone — no sequels, prequels, or remakes (yet). Before we get to the brief review and then the report card, I’ll hit up what I wrote down: – “What is with the audio?” Yeah, I’m not sure if it was a streaming issue, but the sound …

Movie Review: Witchouse 3

By Adam Lawson on Monday, March 9, 2020

Yikes. This movie is also bad. I wrote “This sucks” during the movie, then came back and underlined it. That is about the summary it deserves. I also wrote, “The story is so stupid! But the acting is worse!” I don’t remember if I wrote that all at once, or just continued my thought. There …

Movie Review: Witchouse 2 (2000)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, March 2, 2020

Yikes. This movie is bad. The cinematography is bad, the acting is bad, most of the things about this movie is bad. The first thing I wrote about the movie was “I hate her,” about one of the characters. The second thing? “I hate all of these people.” It’s well established here that I don’t …

Movie Review: Invitation to Hell (1984)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, February 24, 2020

This is a weird one. This is a TV-movie, and I’m not sure what the hell ends up happening at the end. Basically, Robert Urich gets a job in a new town, and everyone in that town is a member of the Club. The people who join the Club turn into assholes. The leader of …

A (Mostly) Neutral Look At 2020, Part 2

By Adam Lawson on Tuesday, February 11, 2020

Tonight is New Hampshire, so I’m going to update my earlier predictions and then compare them against what I said last time for some candidates. However, given that a) the Libertarian and other third parties are going to get vanishingly small percentages this time, and b) Trump is clearly going to be the Republican nominee, …

Movie Review: Witchouse (1999)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, February 10, 2020

That title spelling troubles me. Unfortunately, the movie is as bad as the title. The acting in this movie is bad, almost across the entire cast. The intro is quite long for a short movie, and filled with a lot of mid-to-late ’90s computer generated graphics. On my notes I wrote “Geocities” at one point …
