Movie Review: The Omega Man (1971)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 1, 2020

Hate to do another short one, but it’s my birthday, and… This is a good movie. Technically, I Am Legend is a remake of this, but they are so very different. The most struggle I’ve had so far was where the ran this one, given that it is so similar to the last. I’ve decided …

Movie Review: I Am Legend (2007)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, May 25, 2020

It’s Memorial Day, so this’ll be short: this is a post-apocalyptic story about the after-effects of a world-wide virus that wipes out just about everyone. It’s a good movie. I liked it a lot. In 6th place, it is easily twice as good as the movie I’ve preemptively left in 12th. 1. 28 Days Later …

Movie Review: Pandemic (2009)

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 …
