The Call of Cthulhu (2005)

Review: I would give this 150 if I could. It's a short piece, but it is a deeply loving tribute to Lovecraftian mythos and the state of the moviemaking art in the days before sound. It may not be the best movie ever made, but a lot of work and attention to detail went into it, and I can't wait to see The Whisperer In The Darkness, their next cinematic endeavor of which I'm aware.

Review: Super-hokey and easily worth a thousand laughs. How they talked Max von Sydow or Timothy Dalton into this I have no idea, but it's a festival of pure over-the-top cornball sci-fi that works beautifully as unintentional comedy.

Review: With the title and the advertising, it would be reasonable to assume the people responsible for this movie knew the gaming system; it would also be wildly incorrect. There are two reasons I watch it: Damodar and his bom-chicka-wow-wow "I'm a Broadway dancer!" walk, and "I will invent new kinds of pain and new senses for you to feel it with!". I swear, I really think someone was sneaking crack into Jeremy Irons's coffee on this set.

Review: This alltime parody classic is pretty close to the last gasp of Mel Brooks being allowed to be funny (Robin Hood: Men In Tights is pretty much his last hurrah) and oh boy is it ever funny if you like slapstick sendups. This is an ancestor of the Scary Movie series, one people with my tastes find a lot funnier than the modern version.

Review: The dentist annoys the living daylights out of me, as do his wife and mother-in-law, but everything else about this movie cracks me up every time I watch it.

Review: Beautiful visual design, lovely animation, and a fairly plausible plot allow the star-packed cast to have what sounds like a lot of fun with their characters. It's a shame that the mistake of marketing this film as a kiddie cartoon sank its makers financially.

Review: This beast crashed into the 90s headlong, upping set budgets and making CGI the way to go, neither of which was entirely a positive change. It still stands as an awesome movie; I would have rated it 100 if they hadn't cut out the footage that explains WHY the T-1000 melted in the steel bucket.

Review: I got suckered into watching this by a friend who loved it and didn't get that our movie tastes were diametrically opposed; all I really remember is the running joke about animal bites and feeling so sorry for Kathy Bates.

Review: We all wondered how he could follow up Han Solo, and lo and behold Harrison Ford handed us Indy! The rest of the franchise went rapidly downhill, but this first one is a permanent classic in action/adventure.

Review: One of THE teen-angst movies of the 80s, by master of the genre John Hughes and often regarded as one of two films required to be on a Brat Packer's resume. I knew most of these kids in high school too.

Review: Other than South Park, I don't usually get into the Stone/Parker idea of humor, but 'Orgazmo' is a major exception to that rule. This movie makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Hollow Man (2000)

Rating: 85
Percentile: 25.1969
Review: Not the best-written or most plausible movie, 'Hollow Man' still gives us a look at Kevin Bacon being surprisingly good at playing someone downright scary, the kind of guy who makes you hear off-key calliope music in your head when you meet their eye for too long.

Review: John Cleese's voice talents and Brendan Fraser's goofy nonchalance (pretty damn well played for someone rumored to be intensely body-shy!) both go well with the level of slapstick necessary for this live-action remake to be a genuine good time on a slow day.

Review: When there's a kid involved you have to expect a high saccharine factor, and this one has its moments. Still, for a lot of us, it was our first memorable exposure to that national treasure, "We Need A Wacko Who'll Do Just About Anything For A Paycheck, Someone Call Brad" Dourif. Like Ripley, Chucky is an iconic character who deserves the respect they got in the form of only one actor ever performing the role. Plus, there's blood and guts all over the place.

Review: One of the two 'Testosterone Theatre' movies permanently on the marathon list when I'm in that mood. I love almost everyone who's in this, the performances are mostly very good, and the funny quotes are epic in both quality and quantity. I can almost recite the description of Billy Bedlam from memory, and my memory sucks.

Review: Legendary for being the first live-action film in which no human actor appeared with their face visible, this is a must-have for all sorts of collectors. Few people could pick The Chamberlain out of a Skeksis lineup, but I do a reasonable impression of his avaricious little "Hmmmmm" noise and EVERYONE recognizes that! Such cultural durability is one of the hallmarks of a truly exceptional film.
