The Outer Limits: The New Breed (1995)
Very painful Episode to watch (SPOILER ALERT)
All I can say is I nearly jumped out of my skin, every time Richard Thomas jacked up the juice to kill the nanobots. Oh my God, Whoever did the makeup job on this guy should get an award. From the gills to the whatever it was that was on his body, it gave me the shivers.
And when the guy was laying on the scanning bed and Richard Thomas was trying to get rid of the Nanobots??? Well, I had to shut my eyes. That scene (and all the others that followed), well, I couldn't look. Made my skin crawl.
I won't give away the ending. I saw it coming. I gather this technology will be coming soon. Never thought much about replicating nanos. I believe we should start with stem cells first. I mean, would any of you like to have these nano machines throughout your body?
Ugh!!!
Bone Eater (2007)
The absolute worst Sci Fi film ever!!
I knew five minutes after the monster made his appearance where his was going. But when I saw the beginning credits, I said "oh my god, Bruce Boxlightner, Walter Koenig (from Star Trek). Gil Gerard (from Buck Rogers, and he's almost unrecognizable), then I saw John Callahan who used to star on my favorite Soap, All My Childen. Put on a few pounds but he can still act. Then there was Veronica Hamill. too bad I didn't sick around to see her in the film. I bailed out 20 minutes into he film. It was THAT bad. Never did see William Katt (from Perry Mason, and The Greates American Hero).
All these stars and one lousy film. I hope hey got their paycheck.
Bad Bad Bad
Cloverfield (2008)
The Worst Film I have ever seen (Possible Spoiler)
I have just viewed this MASTERPIECE!!! And believe me, I am being sarcastic. When you pay $10 or more to view a movie, first of all, you do not want hand held shaky cameras. You are sitting in a movie theater, and you want a visual experience. What the hell is the matter with producers and film editors?? That they can produce such a stupid, (believe me, all the excitement is in the trailers), and non-eventful movie?? Yeah, there's a monster. How long to you see the monster?? For about one minute. And the visual of the little monsters and the big monsters, well, it's not clear. It's not like Godzilla, WHERE YOU SAW THE MONSTER!!! This movie teased us first with the trailers and promos. Then, with the promise that this would be a great film. Maybe it's a great film for teenyboppers, and little kids.
But I bet the parents of those teenyboppers and little kids will just sit there and get sea-sick from all the shaky camera work.
And yes, it's exactly like the Blair Witch movie.
This movie opened with $41 million dollars. I bet it's all downhill from now on, when word of this movie goes on.
Shame on the company that put out this piece of trash.
Shame Shame Shame
Showdown at Area 51 (2007)
I thoroughly enjoyed this film
I'll tell you why. It wasn't the best film in the world, and it certainly wasn't the worst. But what it was not, well, it was not BORING!!! And for me, to sit through a two hour TV movie, well, I just sat and watched and enjoyed. The special effects were very well done. I didn't watch it for the acting. I watched it because I enjoy sci-fi and with all the crap out here and yes, most of the crap is on the SCi-fi Channel, with their reptiles, and snakes and whatever, it was nice to just enjoy an Alien movie without having to think about it too much.
So if you just want to chill in front of the TV, grab some popcorn, grab your wife or girlfriend and sit and enjoy a not too complicated sci-fi movie.
I'm so tired of zombies, vampires etc. We need a sequel to this one. Well done Sci Fi Channel.
The Plague (2006)
Scared the hell out of me!!!!
I have seen zombie movies, I have seen Dawn of the Dead, BUT THIS ONE, well, it scared me so bad, I watched it through my fingers. You know what I mean, when you hold your hand in front of you and only open the fingers so you can peek through them.
I didn't get the ending. They should have explained it more clearly
I've read some of the comments and some of the stuff on the message boards. I guess there is a religious aspect to the film but when he kids started getting the guns, well that did it for me.
I don't know who the actors are but the guy who did the makeup, well he should be in feature films.
B r o t h e r!!!! This is one scary film!!!
Dead Before Dawn (1993)
This is a remake of Downpayment for Murder
I cannot believe that no one caught that this is the exact same plot, I mean exact. The ending , the way they caught the husband, The exact same plot. And oddly, the same actor played in both feature films.
His name is GW Bailey. He was in both films.
I just saw Downpayment for Murder, with Connie Seleca and Ben Gazzara and I said to myself "wait a minute", this is the same plot as Dead Before Dawn. And sure enough it was.
Oh they changed the employment status of the husband but it was SAME PLOT.
Unbelievable.
Show Me the Money (2006)
The worst game show on TV
While William Shater can always make me smile in anything he appears in, (and I especially love him as Denny Crane in Boston Legal), well, this show is all about glitz and dancing girls and screaming and jumping up and down.
It has none of the intelligence of Millionaire, none of the flair of Deal or No Deal.
This show is all about dancing and stupid things to fill in the time.
I watched it of course just to check it out. I did watch it for over 45 minutes, then I had to turn it off.
The best part of it was William Shatner dancing on the stage. He is a hoot!!! unfortunately, this show WILL NOT MAKE IT.
That's a given
The Return (2005)
The Worst Film every made!!!!
I just got back from this monstrosity of a film!!! That's the only word to describe it. There were exactly 8 people in the whole theatre. This film was dull, dreary, absolutely no action whatsoever.
I read a comment from someone who said there were twists and turns. Where on earth are their twists and turns? I didn't see one twist and turn. My friend kept asking me during the whole film "what's the plot, what exactly is going on, what is her problem?".
I kept replying, just wait, somehow it will be explained". Yeah, in the last 5 minutes of the film.
Thank the lord, I didn't have to pay a dime for this. I was so looking forward to a really good horror story. I mean, look at the film cover. It indicates a horror film, doesn't it!!!
It indicates supernatural happenings, right?? I've seen more supernatural happenings on Saturday night live, than in this film.
I would never recommend this film to anyone whatsoever.
I can't believe Sarah Michelle Geller put her name to this. There can't be more than 5 people in the whole film. No character development. Nothing.
I'm done
Mammoth (2006)
The Stupidest Movie I have ever Seen!!!!
I know, I know, there is no such word as Stupidest!!! but honestly, what else would describe this drivel.
Absolutely horrible. And the acting!!! it's all camp and no drama. If they are going to make it like a Roger Corman, campy, Saturday afternoon at the movies, well, get better plots and keep out the comedy. I mean really. Reminded me of MARS ATTACKS!!
The special effects were not special, believe me. The only interesting thing was the female agent. I couldn't tell if she was a black woman or a white woman. She has the most amazing face. I looked it up and her mom is black and her father is Italian. What a beautiful combination. I did not understand the ending. If someone does, please let me know.
This reminded me of the Sabretooth and the Sasquatch, (those were better). Anything with David Keith and Lance Henricksen, well, I'll watch them any day. Also, Michael Ironside. Why don't they just make another Watchers Sequel? the Sci fi channel could use one of those.
The Ten Commandments (2005)
I have never been so disgusted in all my life!!!!
And that is putting it mildly. To make a miniseries is to make a profit. I know this. Advertisers pay for commercial spots and that's how the producers sell a made for TV movie. Everything is for profit. Well in this instance, if I had been any advertiser that paid to have my commercial shown in this piece of trash, I should be shot. And I am NOT over-reacting believe me. Why am I mad? I couldn't care less that this mini-series didn't live up to the Charlot Heston one. That was a motion picture, in Technicolor and will always stand the test of time. Nothing can beat it. They should have never made a mini-series if they weren't going to make it bigger, better (especially with the special effects technology we have today). That didn't really bother me, it just made the movie less colorful (believe me, it is much less colorful than the original). Why am I so mad? Because they show the slaughter of children. I have never in all my life thought I would see ....
SPOILER ALERT.....
in the second half, when Moses' people turn on the others who were worship-ping the calf, Joshua turns to Moses and says "what do we do with the prisoners". (seems they let some live). And Moses says "kill them all", it's God's will". And there they went too far. With spears, with knives, they show grown men slitting kid's throats!!!!
Are the producers out of their minds. I shut off the TV immediately.
I know this is 2006 and we have to do more graphics because the audience gets bored easily. BUT THIS WAS OVER THE LINE.
That's all I have to say.
