Flint: The Poisoning of an American City (2019)
100,000 people have been poisoned by lead, which leads to lifelong health problems, yet this has been swept under the rug in the U.S. Flint: The Poisoning of an American City was made to show the environmental history of the river and how the continued abuse and neglect of city infrastructure and environmental regulations have led […]
Box Office Failures Week: Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
Most of the time when I discuss movies on this site, I share how many Razzies the movie won. The celebrities who win these awards rarely show up and never dignify this honor. But not tom Green. When Freddy Got Fingered won Worst Screenplay, Worst Actor, Worst Film, Worst Director and Worst Screen Couple, Green rolled […]
Box Office Failures Week: The Punisher (1989)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Rob Brown is probably the only person to write for our site that has an IMDB page. That alone gives him the credit to tell us all about one of the first Marvel movies to hit the screen. Jake Berkowitz (Louis Gossett, Jr.) is a big city police detective trying to take down […]
Box Office Failures Week: Theodore Rex (1996)
Jonathan R. Betuel—who made his screenwriting debut with the critical and box office successful The Last Starfighter (1984) and his writing and directing debut with My Science Project (1985) and worked as a supervising producer on the 22-episode run of the syndicated TV Series Freddy’s Nightmares (an anthology sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street […]
Box Office Failures Week: Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1973)
For years, I’ve wanted to see this movie and it’s eluded me. I shop at The Exchange stores often and the one in Monroeville had one of the Warner Archive burn on demand disks. I watched it like, well, a seagull for about a year. It was $12. Surely I wasn’t going to spend so […]
Beyond the Law (2019)
I feel like I finally have made it as a movie reviewer. That’s because I was just sent a Steven Seagal film to review. Seriously, I have been clawing for this pinnacle and here I stand on it. And let me tell you, this sensation is pretty sweet. First off, two bits of sad news. […]
Box Office Failures Week: Catwoman (2004)
Covering this movie feels like shooting fish in a barrel, so let me say something mean about myself before I go full-on this film: whenever I let go of a particular powerful burst of flatulence, I like to yell out, “Benjamin Bratt!” I feel better for telling you. I love when Oscar winners follow up […]
Stan the Man (2020)
Stan Mann (Steven Chase, who also wrote and directed) is a multi-millionaire whose life is only about ladies, gambling and booze. He lives at a 5-star hotel where the staff tends to his every need. Yet at his heart, he’s a generous man that people seem to love. However, after getting messed up in a […]
Box Office Failures Week: Movie 43 (2013)
I have a weakness for movies like The Kentucky Fried Movie and Amazon Women on the Moon. Big huge paens to MAD Magazine stupidity, they’re the cinematic equivalent of Fiddle Faddle to me. Then there’s Movie 43, a movie that took a decade-long odyssey to get made, as most studios rejected the script. The end result was shot over […]
Alien Outbreak (2020)
A small rural community has been quarantined by aliens as two police officers — including an expatriate from Toronto — fight to keep the peace. But with mass panic spreading and strange behavior the order of the day, saving this small British town may be impossible. This film is from British FX artist Neil […]
