The Dunwich Horror: Directed by Daniel Haller. With Sandra Dee, Dean Stockwell, Ed Begley, Lloyd Bochner. Wilbur Whateley travels to the Arkham Miskatonic University to borrow the legendary Necronomicon. But, little does anyone know, Whateley isn’t quite human… I sought this out and found it on Kanopy because of the Gidget (1969) movie starring Sandra Dee, which was about a sweet and innocent teenager that was just growing into womanhood and discovering what she wanted in life. From there I found myself exploring Sandra Dee’s career on IMDB and saw that one of her final movie was an adaptation of...

Bicentennial Man: Directed by Chris Columbus. With Robin Williams, Embeth Davidtz, Sam Neill, Oliver Platt. An android endeavors to become human as he gradually acquires emotions. This is one of my more favorite adaptations from Isaac Asimov’s vast library of stories, no huge sweeping action scenes, no massive explosions, just the ever moving forward progress of a mind finding it’s way to sentience, then trying to find it’s way through a word that might not be as accepting of his soul as he’d like it to be. For the most part all the characters in the film are acting in...

The Kid Detective: Directed by Evan Morgan. With Kaitlyn Chalmers-Rizzato, Adam Brody, Kaleb Horn, Wendy Crewson. A once-celebrated kid detective, now 32, continues to solve the same trivial mysteries between hangovers and bouts of self-pity. Until a naive client brings him his first ‘adult’ case, to find out who brutally murdered her boyfriend. A happy go lucky kid detective grows up to be a drunken washed up nobody that can’t seem to get serious crimes to solve. At least that’s until a horrifying murder is given to him as a case by the murdered party’s girlfriend. It’s a fairly by...

Spiderhead: Directed by Joseph Kosinski. With Chris Hemsworth, Miles Teller, Jurnee Smollett, Mark Paguio. In the near future, convicts are offered the chance to volunteer as medical subjects to shorten their sentence. One such subject for a new drug capable of generating feelings of love begins questioning the reality of his emotions. Presented by “THE NEW YORKER” which is a stuffy political magazine that I have never once read, nor have any interest in, since I’m not in New York and have no need to know about gossip from that location. They also do short stories in their paper though,...

Hercules: Directed by Luigi Cozzi. With Lou Ferrigno, Brad Harris, Sybil Danning, Rossana Podestà. The story of the Greek mythological figure, updated in this 80’s version. Lou Ferrigno’s first role after he was done with The Incredible Hulk, the tv show that made him famous as the titular Hulk, this movie is notable for a couple other reasons, the first and foremost is that it’s a terrible no good movie that should have never been made. The second is that Lou Ferrigno is absolutely beautiful and as perfect as a muscle man can be in a movie this bad. The...

Interceptor: Directed by Matthew Reilly. With Elsa Pataky, Luke Bracey, Aaron Glenane, Mayen Mehta. One Army captain must use her years of tactical training and military expertise when a simultaneous coordinated attack threatens the remote missile interceptor station she is in command of. This feels decidedly like a movie that Jean-Claude Van Damme would have done when he was in his prime and to be frank, Elsa Pataky a great subsitutuion for him in this campy yet scrappy military action film with a solo hero trying to save the world, one kick punch at a time. Sure she’s obviously not...

Mad Max: Fury Road: Directed by George Miller. With Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne. In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a woman rebels against a tyrannical ruler in search for her homeland with the aid of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic worshiper, and a drifter named Max. I’ve seen it before, I’ll see it again, this is one of the definitive movies of 2015 and is absolutely amazing in 4k hdr. Buy On Amazon!
