House of Traps

A lot of later Shaw Brothers films were "throw it was the wall and see what sticks" affairs and this was no different. This had a bland story, ridiculous costumes, an Interesting idea, and title, but ultimately a letdown. I'm not really a big fan of the "Venom" films so that wasn't a draw for me. It...

Shake, Rattle & Roll 13

Shake, Rattle & Roll 13 is more of a short story collection than an anthology as there are no connection threads to the stories and no wraparound to be found. The first story Tamawo had cool creature designs but the way the story was told was a little dull. 5/10 Story 2 Parola, The ghosts of two bic...

China 9 Liberty 37

This was not really the movie for me. Fabio Testi was extremely bland here and Warren Oates was too, even if I could understand his actions, I detest cheaters and Jenny Agutter had nothing else to her character. She cheated on her husband deliberately, and wounded him in self-defense, which I had no...

Prey (2022)

I can overlook the mostly iffy CGI and I can admit that this was one of the better Predator films out there, not that that's saying much. However, this has two of my least favorite tropes, or if not tropes then film script tendencies, The first is altering history/putting contemporary politics or is...

Elusive Takashi Miike films

I have a small list of Miike films that I just can't seem to track down.

It Stains the Sands Red 2016 is a little similar to this concept

The Batman

The movie as a whole was okay but there was a lot wrong with it too. I can't say I was disappointed because I never had any expectations for this anyway, but I can say that I was never really entertained. The costumes and character interpretations sucked, the bat-gliding scene looked goofy as fuck, ...

Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo

This time we are simply dropped into the middle of the action and story with no context and we are never really given the context either. Okay, I could live with that, however, the characters have changes which was jarring and the change was not in a good way. But worst of all there was a distinct l...

Urotsukidoji: New Saga

The one thing I have to say about Urotsukidoji is that it has some decent continuity. The animation is bad and the CGI-animation blending is really pisspoor in an early 2000s kind of way. Most of this is crap but there are a few mean-spirited scenes that work well and the scenes of horror are fun if...
