AE Apocalypse Earth During such a chaotic moment in history, what role do you see yourself in? As a leader, as a follower or as a scared little child whose eyes are filled with tears? Personally, I would like to believe that when the troubles are finally tackled, I will be at the front, leading […]
Mega Shark Vs Crocosaurus I am a huge fan of the majestic, life changing and historically accurate (what?) Worlds Deadliest Warrior. This great show takes two warring tribes from history and has them battle it out in a simulated war to the death. It all involves testing weapons of old on what they call ‘ballistic
2012 Ice Age As much as hating their films seems appealing, there’s no denying that The Asylum is among the ever dwindling number of film studios who have not lost their focus on aiming low and achieving it. They truly are an exploitation studio for the new millennium. The films do leave quite a lot
Monkey Man Dev Patel puts all of himself into “Monkey Man.” Some spills over the edges and the blend may not always be right but there is an undeniable passion here that comes through in a genre that too often feels like it came off an assembly line. The Bruce Lee, Sammo Hung, “The Raid,”

This film is set in 1977 and describes a fourth television network that never existed (at that time, there were three). According to the story, a competitor springs up against Johnny Carson’s late night talk show
Ben Hur The movie In the Name of Ben-Hur has been described by some as a “mockbuster”. It is a cheap production released on DVD and aimed at the market created by a similar and more popular film that was on theaters at the time. Such movies are made by The Asylum, the production company
Titanic II Why should I sit back and enjoy the love story between Leo and Kate when there is somebody like Shane van Dyke who can transform himself from a nerd to the captain of a ram wham boom ship? Titanic 2 was the first film for me ever based on the popular Titanic’s sinking.
Poor Things It seems that Yorgos Lanthimos likes to show the abnormal in the normal, whether it’s in “Dogtooth”’s suburban home or “The Lobster”’s medical office or “The Favourite”’s palace.
