Basket Case, 1982
One of the great micro-budget horror movies of the 1980s. Belial is an all-time great horror movie antagonist even though he was made so cheaply he can’t do much of anything.
Eighth Grade, 2018
Wow, what a movie. It had me smiling and cringing the entire time. I’m glad those years are far, far behind me. One of the best films of 2018 for sure.
30 Years of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids Story, 2015
A rambling and sometimes boring history of the Garbage Pail Kids cards and movie. You could have easily taken out 30 minutes of repetitious information and still got the point across.
The Predator, 2018
It was just kind of fine overall. I dislike movies when the characters make wild leaps of logic and know exactly what is going on out of the total blue. I like my plot points earned.
Beyond the Black Rainbow, 2010
I’m not quite sure what I just watched here. It was like a weird love child of David Cronenberg and Dario Argento. It did make me even more excited to see the director’s next film MANDY.
Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, 2017
Well made but not a lot of new information. Most of it was already covered in last year’s Netflix series The Toys That Made Us. The best part for me was hearing some new stories from that crazy Cannon film shoot.
Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, 1988
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.
Arizona, 2018
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.
The Prowler, 1981
One of those lost 80s slasher movies. The story is pretty bad but the Tom Savini effects are to notch.
The Road Movie, 2016
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.
Testament, 1983
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.
The Day After, 1983
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.
