Movie | Class of 1999 | Really Liked It

A favorite and great to see again; one of the few true splatterpunk (using the 80s term, not to be confused with "splatter horror films") cult classics ever made. Terribly disappointing soundtrack, though; it sucked then and it didn't get any better since.

Movie | The Raven | Liked It

Fun to see again after all these years.

Movie | The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. | Liked It

I finally got around to watching this...it was seriously whacked and hallucinatory. I liked it! A cult classic if there ever was one.

Movie | 3 Days to Kill | Liked It

Luc Besson writes + McG directs = I'm most likely going to like it, a lot. And that was true here. What surprised me were the multiple truly funny moments.

Movie | The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel | Liked It

The last quarter, in particular, was very good.

Movie | Maniac Cop | Didn't Like It

Admittedly, I watched the whole thing. But despite the period charm, the occasional decent action scene and the presence of the great Bruce Campbell, this was a lame movie. The script was pretty dumb and some of the acting no better than what I can do (aka atrocious). I was expecting more, I suppose.

TV | Fear the Walking Dead | Really Liked It

You're kidding me, right? Take The Walking Dead and add one of the brilliant minds from Sons of Anarchy, set it in LA and what did you think I'd think of it? Boo-yah and bring it on!

Movie | Predestination | Really Liked It

A better "mess with your head" movie than most of the other crapola in the past few years. Too bad nobody will see this one. Scratch that; maybe it's better that way...my little secret.

TV | Documentary Now! | Didn't Like It

Clever but not consistently entertaining.

Movie | C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud | Liked It

This zomedy goes in such a drastically different direction, that it's no wonder it mystified fans of the original cult fave. The late 80s cheesy charm is in full force and if you're in the right mood, you're going to love it and seeing a fantastic cast of actors hamming it up excessively, often without any logic. Fun and some great music to go along with the silliness.

Movie | Kiss of the Vampire | Liked It

What Hammer does best is atmosphere and this one had oodles of it. Even though there weren't any of the usual heavy hitters in this one, the cast was darn good too.

Movie | Out Cold | Liked It

A lot of fun because of the cast.

Movie | Son of Dracula | Liked It

Hilarious. Count Alucard...fantastic!

Movie | Elfi Hopkins: Cannibal Hunter | Didn't Like It

It was fun watching Ray Winstone together with his real-life daughter, Jaime, who is the star of this movie that's somewhat like a stoner, far gorier version of Veronica Mars with less plot development. But that's about it. She's got some puss on her; in a constant state of growl.

Movie | Mr. Moto's Gamble | Liked It

Not quite as good as the first film but still worth watching.

Movie | Equinox | Liked It

Awesomely bad B-movie creature feature that co-stars Frank Bonner (Herb Tarlek from WKRP in Cincinnati) and Ed Begley, Jr. does assistant camera work. It's cheesy in the best possible way and yet it's still a bit creepy. But nobody is going to lose any sleep over it these days.

TV | Impastor | Liked It

Nice to see David Rasche (Sledge Hammer!) in action again and I've always liked Sara Rue - in an adult sitcom about a loser who ends up assuming a gay pastor's life.

TV | The Jim Gaffigan Show | Liked It

At what point will they stop making shows exactly like this? I don't know but this one was cute enough and it's good to have something light when I've been watching so many other dark shows. It can't be all doom and gloom.

Movie | Valerie and Her Week of Wonders | Liked It

I finally got around to this artsy cult classic about a young girl going through puberty after all these years. Everything is symbolic (human sexuality can be a frightening thing), there are vampires, magic, witches and evil priests...all set in this oddly medieval setting. Gorgeously filmed and the script is intentionally vague about what the heck is going on, I'm sure I'll never see it again. It was mildly interesting and I'm glad I saw it, if for no better reason than I can check it off my list now.

TV | Jericho | Really Liked It

We saw this and absolutely loved it when it came out. So when it popped up in reruns on some obscure cable station, we started watching it again. Though it does feel a little dated (but not much, really), we were enjoying it so much that we got sick of waiting for the next episode. So we bought it on DVD. Fantastic!

TV | Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll | Didn't Like It

Though it certainly wasn't bad, it just wasn't compelling or interesting enough. I also had a hard time believing that any of the actors were their characters.

Movie | Non-Stop | Liked It

Though it's been done before and often times better, this was still a fun action movie. The thing I really enjoyed about it was the cast that featured actors from The Strain, Tyrant and Halt and Catch Fire.

TV | Humans | Really Liked It

Incredible cast, including alumni from Ideal, The IT Crowd and Utopia. Good show, with a fresh feel based on an old, rather tired topic. Interestingly, this doesn't have an AMC vibe to it. I believe they just threw money at it; it's really a British show, which is a very good thing.

Movie | As Above, So Below | Liked It

Neat little movie with a modern Indiana Jones sort of feel combined with a bit of horror, though I still hate handheld camerawork. Same director as the very good Devil.

Movie | Think Fast, Mr. Moto | Liked It

Setting the horrific racism aside, this was a rather fun movie that kept us on our toes. Think fast indeed, Mr. Moto.

Movie | Night at the Museum 3 | Liked It

TV | The Spoils Before Dying | Liked It

Another project that probably was a lot more fun and funny on paper.

Movie | Silent Hill: Revelation | Didn't Like It

I didn't think this was good but I watched the whole thing. I still think the storyline is compelling and this sequel features some bit parts for some great actors. Malcolm McDowell and Carrie-Anne Moss were really great but Sean Bean's fake accent was distracting.

Movie | Resident Evil: Retribution | Liked It

The acting, dialogue and editing conspire to make this no more than a visual experience. There's absolutely nothing scary and I felt nothing for any of the characters. That's too bad because it actually could have been something a bit special. The action was still fun though and I'll see the next installment which will supposedly be the last in the franchise. We'll see.

TV | Shut Up and Drive! | Liked It

Interesting how they're really trying to mimic certain qualities of Top Gear. Here, it's in the epic cinematography. What all of these shows forget is the cars themselves. That's the whole point and they miss it just about every time. Instead, they focus on hosts who 9 times out of 10 aren't that interesting or can even be downright grating on the nerves to watch.
