fast cars do not make a movie good
13 August 2004
This just shows that there is almost nothing good coming out of Hollywood these days. This movie is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. The people who made this movie must have been thinking, "hmmm, if we put a few nice cars and Vin Diesel in a movie we're going to have a hit!" For one thing Vin Diesel is one of the worst actors to ever walk the face of the earth. Another thing, anyone who watches a movie just to see some nice cars needs to be shot. There really was no story. There was nothing going on. Just car races and stunts. If you watch movies to see fast cars and bad acting then this movie is for you but if you want to see a true piece of art i recommend you stay as far away from this movie as you possibly can.

Great Movie
13 August 2004
I thought this movie was amazingly funny. It had good acting and the lines that came out of Miron's mouth were great. It could of done without soooooo many sex scenes though. The Stackpools are a strange family. Everyone in the family has some strange size or shape. This goes without saying for Miron, the head of the family. Lance, a small town guy, is trying to get a hold of stackpool's money but as you might imagine Miron is not very happy about this. This is a good movie with loads of laughs but please if you're going to watch this movie do not go in expecting a horror movie. This a scifi/comedy. If you go in ready to watch a horror movie you're going to be very disappointed.

Another Great Troma Movie
12 August 2004
I know people are saying that The Toxic Avenger Part 2 isn't as good as the first but they're all wrong! The Toxic Avenger Part 2 has great amounts of gore(as long as you watch the uncut version). The beginning starts off with Toxie crushing a guy in a wheel chair. Is that great or what? There is a chase scene at the end that is really cool. the only flaw is the voice but that doesn't matter much. If you truly liked the first Toxic Avenger and really understood it you should like Toxie's adventures in Tokyo. Please, if you haven't seen this movie yet keep an open mind and go see Toxie Tackling troubles from Tromavile to Tokyo in, The Toxic Avenger Part II!!

People just don't understand
12 August 2004
Despite what people will say this is another great Toxic Avenger movie. Part 2 & 3 were made as one so this movie takes place right after the first. Putting Toxie in a yuppie nightmare was a very smart and funny thing to do. I loved the fact that they turned toxie back into a 90 pound weakling(although i wish they would have used Mark Torgle). The beginning was a really good! If you haven't seen this movie you might be afraid by some of the other comments on this movie but don't be. It's a great movie about the temptations of Toxie. Satan is the main bad guy!! How can you not like this movie? A toxic avenger movie with Satan as the main bad guy, what's not to like? Anyways if you haven't seen this movie please go buy it, not rent it, buy it. GO BUY The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie!

Can you handle it?
12 August 2004
The Toxic Avenger is one of the greatest movies ever made. I don't think i would ever say that this movie is so bad it's funny. I thought this movie was very well made. I really don't care how much money people spend on a movie. I can't help but laugh when i read that people are actually offended by the blood and gore in this movie. I guess people just can't handle the greatness of this movie. I happen to think a young boy getting run over on his bike and then people getting out of their cars and taking pictures of his crushed head is hilarious! This movie is great! I Recommend it to anyone who likes good movies and can handle some blood but if you only like watered down movies like Halloween then maybe you shouldn't watch this. I myself, like to see real movies, like those movies from Troma!

Trapped On Toyworld
10 June 2004
This is the third chapter of the Josh Kirby series. After falling out of the time pod Josh ends up on Toy World. A place where toys are as alive as you and me. Zoetrobe is also on Toy World looking for the next Nolifire component and it is soon revealed the Josh is a time warrior. There is not really much to say except for this was better then human pets and Dino Knights. The storyline was good just like all of the chapters. The acting was OK. Zoetrobe is of course up to his tricks and lies to get Josh to join him. You have to admit though time armer is a lot cooler then a time pod. I would recommend this to people who are open minded.

Another Cliff Hanger.

The Story Continues...
9 June 2004
I know that most people say that this series is really bad but I think that is because most people are afraid to admit that they actually like something aimed to people of all ages, including children. These film are some of the best ever made.

In chapter 2, the human pets we see what happens in Med evil England. When the war is over and the nolifier piece is found Josh, Erwin 1138, and their new found friend Azabeth become human pets. I think it must have took quite a bit of talent to build the sets for this chapter and I respect that very much. I'd have to say this is the worst of the whole series but it was still really good.

More cliff hangers.

better then you think
9 June 2004
I know I may be alone in saying this but I have to say that Josh Kirby...Time Warrior is one of the greatest film series ever created. Sure it may not have the best effects and the highest budget. And yeah people might find it a little childish but that's because most people only like high budget big effects movies. No one sees the true quality and work that people put into these "low budget" films. The story line to this series is brilliant. I don't watch movies to see nice cars and computer generated people. I watch movies for the storyline, the ideas, and the excitement. Now I'm getting off topic.

Josh Kirby is the story of a boy who comes in contact with a piece of an alien defies capable of destroying the Universe. He soon finds him self racing across the time stream in a Time Pod built by Erwin 1138 from the future. Erwin has scattered pieces of the defies throughout the time stream to hide them from the evil Dr. Zoetrobe but Zoetrobe has found out where the pieces are and now it's a race against the clock to find all the pieces before Zoetrobe does.

In this chapter you see how the whole story begins. After leaving 1994 Josh and Erwin find them selves in med evil England where dinosaurs are considered dragons and as Josh and Erwin search for a piece of the nolifier, the alien defies, they are caught in a med evil war between two brothers.

Be prepared for cliff hangers.

Puppet Master II (1990 Video)
A great sequel
9 June 2004
If you haven't guessed by the title this is the second chapter of the classic Puppet Master series. I enjoyed this film more then the first film and I loved the first film. In this movie the new puppet Torch steals the show. A flame throwing puppet what's not to like? This film also features the classic scene where Blade chases Charlie Spradling out of her room into the hallway. If you're a fan of Fullmoon Pictures then this is a must see. If you're worried about the acting don't be, the acting was good. Not the best ever but pretty good. The ending of this movie was Excellent. It brings about the question, is the Puppet MASTER really the one pulling the strings?

Frailty (2001)
best new movie
26 April 2004
Frailty is a very good movie. excluding the non popular movies I'd have to say that Frailty is the best newer movie. Movies like Ghost Ship and Darkness Falls are giving horror a bad name. Frailty has a very good plot and a great ending. Non predictable and very Imaginative. Any movie with an ax named Otis is of course going to be good. Closed minded people probably shouldn't watch this and the same with really Religious Christians . I don't think they would be able to think that God would do this but if you're open minded and not the most Religious person in the world I'd would have to say this is the movie for you. No matter what the Frailty will make you think by the time it's over.

How bad can a movie get?
25 April 2004
After viewing this movie I found my self asking, how bad can a movie get? This movie has to be in the top 3 worst movies of all time. It tried to be mainstream way to much. This movie is what I'd expect to see as an example of everything put into mainstream movies. When you are watching a movie worse then Scream you know you're watching a bad movie. I know what you did last summer is a disgrace to horror. I'd even go so far as to say that this movie is a milestone in bad horror movie history. All this movie will ever be is a two part horror episode of Dawson's Creek. Maybe movies like Puppet Master and Evil Dead didn't make the most money in the world but that's not the point. The point is they made a horror movie without mainstream Influence. If you haven't seen the movie yet and you still think it'll be cool then go watch it. I dare you. Just remember I warned you that it is one of the worst horror movies ever made.

Re-Animator (1985)
American Classic
25 April 2004
Re-Animator is not only the greatest Lovecraft adaptation but it's an American Classic. There is no bad acting to be found in this movie. David Gale makes the perfect evil doctor and Jeffery Combs's performance as Herbert West is some of the best acting I have ever seen. The humor is put in, in the perfect places. The Gore is done quite well. This movie contained some of the greatest quotes of all time and a Hilarious scene with a dead cat in a basement. Also, If you're a fan of Stuart Gordon this is his first film and in my opinion his best. If you haven't seen this movie yet you need to get out the movie rental card and get over to Movie Gallery because this is truly an American Classic.
