Good, trashy fun. This has to be one of the most 80’s movies ever made. This movie also has my new all-time favorite Linnea Quigley performance. She’s just the best in this movie.

This movie made me an even bigger Danny McBride fan. You know the guy can do comedy but who knew he could pull off full menace too? I also have to give special mention to the Kaitlin Olson death scene. That was hilarious and brutal.

One of those lost 80s slasher movies. The story is pretty bad but the Tom Savini effects are to notch.

I would barely call this a movie. Just a bunch of so-so clips from YouTube. I was expecting some crazy stuff to go down but nothing ever really did.

Nuclear war from the point of view of a single family in Northern California. I did appreciate the mother’s attempts at keeping her family together even though we all know how it will all end.

More melodramatic than its British counterpart Threads. I think knowing a lot of the actors in this movie took me out of it a bit. The attack sequence is still very powerful.

Not nearly as fun as I was hoping it would be. I have to give it up for The Rock tho, that guy never phones it in.

A devastating look at the real ramifications of a nuclear attack. It was hard to watch but I think everyone should watch it once.

A finely crafted story with two amazing lead performances. Every new plot detail had me trying to figure out where this movie was going.

The Lonely Island finally found a perfect fit for their style of comedy. The musical biopic is ripe for mockery. I laughed quite a lot during this movie.

Rather dull and boring telling of a pretty interesting chapter of history. I had a VIC20, C64, and Amiga500 back in the 1980s and I wish this film spent more time with software developers instead of spending most of the 2+ hour runtime focusing on the business side of things.
