You know how I knew this was one serious apocalypse? It wasn’t because 99% of the human race had been wiped out. 99% of people are suck, plain and simple. An accidental release of a some kind of mega germ that did that is something I would characterize as more of a cure than a disaster. Continue reading “The Terror Within (1989)”

When Eagles Strike (2003)
It may take awhile, like almost the whole movie, but guess what happens once eagles finally strike? They leave a terrorist sized stain of freedom all over the Malaysian island where a U.S. Senator has been kidnapped and held hostage! And lots of huts blow up! When will those dudes in southeast Asia get the memo that building their huts with gasoline soaked reeds is just asking to have it blown sky high by pissed off American GIs looking for payback! Continue reading “When Eagles Strike (2003)”
Operation Cobra (1997)
While there may not actually be an Operation Cobra per se taking place in the film (possibly because the movie’s real title was Inferno), that doesn’t mean you aren’t getting your fair share of cloak and dagger scheming and double-crossing. Plus, Don “The Dragon” Wilson does shoot a cobra and another guy gets bit on his head, so it isn’t like those watching for the snake action got ripped off. Continue reading “Operation Cobra (1997)”
Star Quest (1994)
It’s a plot that you can’t help but like. A mission to another planet with a spaceship crewed by a collection of forgotteable TV actors! But something goes wrong and these people start to die! Continue reading “Star Quest (1994)”
Lords of the Deep (1989)
Sometimes I lay awake at night on my stained mattress and ponder what the future holds for planet Earth. What wonders will we see come to pass? Flying cars? Cures for all diseases? An end to hunger and other cruddy stuff? But then the morning arrives along with cruel reality! And I hit my research library of Roger Corman sci-fi movies! And the terrible future that awaits us becomes clear! Continue reading “Lords of the Deep (1989)”
Night Hunter (1996)
I’ve never seen any of the Blade movies. It’s a toss up as to which I’m less interested in – vampires or Wesley Snipes.
These vampires are always swishing their romance novel cover long hair around, resplendent in their European finery and prone to mucking about with goblets and come hither looks any normal woman would laugh off.
There’s also usually talk about vampire families that date back hundreds of years and how powerful they all are. If they’re really so powerful, why are they generally unknown to the world at large and getting killed by vampire hunters who couldn’t possibly have all the resources that these supposedly old, well-connected families have had centuries to build up? Continue reading “Night Hunter (1996)”
Day the World Ended (1955)
Incredibly, this Roger Corman end of the world shocker was filmed in nine days. It was incredible because while watching it, I was thinking that they should have been able to do it in about a third of the time! Continue reading “Day the World Ended (1955)”
