The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
9.4/10. A well done horror movie of the late 70's. Craven delivers the terror of being trapped in the middle of nowhere, out of your environment surrounded by a crazed enemy. Here the enemy's a bunch of hill dwelling crazies who represent those terrors, played well too.

Matlock (1986)
9.4/10. One good show of the middle 80's early 90's that worked great. I enjoy it immensely, mainly seasons 1-3, that's just me. The show itself has a charm about it that makes you watch it with great enjoyment.

Halloween Kills (2021)
1/10. They go and make an even worse sequel. This adds nothing new to the mythos. The most they do is bring back a couple of forgotten actresses Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion Chambers and Kyle Richards as Lindsay Wallace. Sad is all I feel about this. What irks me the most is they kill off Judy Greer for no reason. I get that Jamie Lee Curtis is a scream queen and this franchise is what made her career. But she needed to retire the character. I would've had her die here, like De Palma did with Dickinson in Dressed To Kill and Craven did with Barrymore in Scream. That being, is kill off your leading lady early in the movie so that the daughter character, Judy Greer's, could take over. Nothing wrong with this idea but these buffoons thought otherwise.

Archer (2009)
6.2/10. Possibly one of the weirdest cartoons I've ever seen. I will admit it's interesting to say the least. That and Judy Greer seems to be perfectly cast here.

Golden Temple Amazons (1986)
6/10. Not necessarily the best Amazon themed movie made but it beats watching the two Wonder Woman movies. By this I mean as in at least with this they're not knocking on men and the United States the way those two clunkers did. I grant it's not great but it's not awful either. It's in between and for those who, like myself, believe in giving small, forgotten movies like this a fair chance.

I Feel Pretty (2018)
-50/10. It's not a bad idea to make a movie about body acceptance. It's bad however when the lead is shown to not make any effort into trying to do better just like the kids in that Disney movie Heavyweights. Here it's Amy Schumer, who, truthfully, isn't too bad looking but she's always got a bad attitude and that's her main problem. I would say this movie could've been better if not for her obvious influence on the script, she probably wrote it.

Tall Girl (2019)
-40/10. A clunker from Netflix featuring one of the "talents"from Dance Moms. Between this and Music with another Dance Moms "talent"they're enough to put people suffering from insomnia to sleep. Literally there's nothing worth watching this for unless you do a running commentary like Mystery Science Theater 3000.

The Secrets of Isis (1975)
6. 8/10. An interesting show that had potential were it nor for executives with no faith in it. Joanna Cameron had a lot of potential and was quite beautiful. That said, did it really need to have lessons for kids? The one thing kids don't need on every kid show is being lectured, it's like they're considered dumb. This was the earliest superheroine show of the age of jiggle tv. Joanna Cameron should've been as big as Wonder Woman's Lynda Carter.

The Stupids (1996)
-80/10. Anything Tom Arnold does is going to stink if he's the lead. NCIS:New Orleans is barely tolerable but when Arnold's on there it hits levels of stupidity. Arnold can't act, not in his scene stealing attempts in True Lies nor in Roseanne and certainly not here.
22nd Sep 2021
Young Frankenstein (1974)
9. 5/10. One of the best movies by Mel Brooks. Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn. Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Peter Boyle, and Cloris Leachman. It's the best satire of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Just flat out perfect. There's nothing wrong with this great movie.
15th Sep 2021
Personal Vendetta (1995)
8/10. The second best movie starring Mimi Lesseos. Here as Bonnie Black she goes from victim to tough cop in a believable transitioning period and finds a good man along the way. Mimi Lesseos is one of the few athletes who can at least do some believable acting and this movie shows it.
9th Sep 2021
Batman (1966)
8. 7/10. One of the best shows of the troubled decade of the 60's. Adam West and Burt Ward were pretty good as the Dynamic Duo.
8th Sep 2021
Georgia Rule (2007)
-70/10. You've got a movie starring a treasonous tart, a putz from a lame ABC "sitcom"and one although decent looking, failure of an actress, what else can be said?
8th Sep 2021
Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? (2019)
7/10. Essentially a retread of The New Scooby Doo Mysteries of the late 70's where Scooby and the gang solved mysteries with stars of back then like Don Knotts, Don Adams, etc. Heck other Hannah Barbara characters like Speed Buggy guest starred even the Three Stooges. This is that only in modern times and is pretty OK.
2nd Sep 2021
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
-30/10. A pointless idiotic movie that wastes the talents of Conroy and Hamill. Here they're just ripping off elements of Burton's Batman while doing the cliches of doomed romance movies. I can't fathom why anyone would consider this greatest Batman movie ever made. It's not well thought out, the plot's so stupid, and once you see the love interest you know she's the killer. There's no debate, she's a bad guy in this bad schlock fest.

Partners in Crime (1984)
3/10. A run of the mill detective show that's better than Cagney and Lacey in that the male audience members can watch Lynda Carter and Loni Anderson without paying attention to what they say. Here we're supposed to believe these two well dressed women can run a detective agency of their late ex? Come on, I've seen beer commercials that were more believable. Lynda here is trying to prove she can go beyond Wonder Woman while Loni's trying to prove herself outside of WKRP In Cincinnati. Major spoiler here, they don't. I would recommend this only to die hard fans of either one as they keep alive the concept of T&A TV here which was slowly dying off by the early 80's.
18th Aug 2021
Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)
5/10. Possibly the best movie Geena Davis has ever done. Sure it's goofy but it knows this and has fun. Jim Carrey is the true star here with his usual zany manner. I would say this was a good preview as to what he could do with goofy comedy.
17th Aug 2021
That's My Boy (2012)
-80/10. I really didn't want to write this. I like Adam Sandler, he's a funny and genuinely nice guy. But this is his worst movie ever. Forget Jack And Jill,8 Crazy Nights, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, or both Grown Ups movies, this is his big stinker. I mean there's nothing funny about a guy who's a slacker trying to use his son to get money for his gambling debts. Nor is it funny that he had an affair with his teacher at age 13 or so. This will be a huge black mark on Adam's filmography as well it should be.
15th Aug 2021
Tales from the Crypt (1989)
10/10. The best horror show ever made. Talent like Kathy Ireland, Shelley Hack, Mariel Hemingway, Tim Curry, Christopher Reeve, David Warner appearing on the show tells a lot about it. John Kassir as the Crypt Keeper was brilliant as his performance was always top notch. If anything, most episodes showed the ability how to write horror properly, in a good way be it flat out scary like And All Through The House to black comedy like The Assassin. I would not only call this the best horror show ever made, but would call it one of the best shows of all time for any list.
15th Aug 2021
Snatched (2017)
-50/10. This is what Goldie Hawn came back for? Just to work with a foul mouthed comedian? This ranks as one of the worst comebacks since Hanoi Fonda's in Monster-In-Law. I'd describe the plot more but won't because it's so ridiculous and Siskel and Ebert would do a better job anyhow. Both Hawn and Schumer fail to be funny as one just looks old and tired while the other suffers from a foul mouth.
