Movie Review: The Abomination (1986) – Visual Vengeance Blu-ray

Why does The Abomination begin with a sizzle reel of the best bits of what’s about to come in the following 90 minutes? Fucked if I know presently, but it does… but they try and claim it’s a nightmare our hero Cody (Scott Davis) is experiencing… Following that we dive into the story proper… hahaha, just kidding… this time it’s another non sequitur (a lil’ stalk n’ slay number here featuring some of the footage we just experienced) as Cody details his grizzly actions to his doctor while quoting the bible and claiming to be controlled by a monster he dubs “The Abomination”. Okay, now we start the story, as we learn Cody’s ailing, televangelist-addicted mother, Sarah (Jude Johnson) is suffering from a nasty lil’ tumor… which she barfs up. Well, that “tumor” goes right ahead and crawls inside of our hero… which makes his workday and non-stop country-fried fuckin’ around come to a full, and phlegmy, stop. So after

Movie Review: Repligator (1998) – Visual Vengeance Blu-ray

In a secret Government lab, Dr. Goodbody (legendary Scream Queen Brinke Stevens) conducts mind reading experiments that result in all manner of horny goings-on (the best kind, if we are being honest) before we cut to an opening title sequence highlighting some whimsical-ass music accompanied by PS1-level graphics… Thus begins Bret McCormick’s 1998 sci-fi farce Repligator, the only way it could… and will again! Following that we travel through more Government labs where all-manner of high-tech gadgets are being worked on involving everything from x-ray glasses to brain-washing to teleportation… and about that last bit; any that goes through the device comes through as an incredibly beautiful, totally horny (there’s that word again), woman (unless they are already an “ugly” woman… then they come out like the nerdy chick that gets “prom hot” in an 80’s teen comedy)!! Speaking of one of those newly-minted women, well… she ends up having sex after which she becomes a half-alligator/half-human hybrid, and her

Movie Review: Swamp Thing (1982) – MVD Rewind Collection 4K

Deep in the humid green hell of the Louisiana bayou, Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise, Twin Peaks) toils with his sister Linda (played by Nannette Brown… and changed from his wife in the DC Comics source material upon which this film is based) in a government-funded high tech lab hidden in an abandoned church. Because of that whole “government-funded” biz, Washington wants to keep the duo’s experiments involving rapid plant without soil under close scrutiny so they send Agent Alice Cable (Adrienne Barbeau, Escape From New York, The Fog, Creepshow… and gender swapped from the comic’s Matthew Cable, an ally/foe of Alec’s) to give it all the ol’ look-see.

SEE: Two kids wandering around in space helmets! SEE: Two archeologists farting around in the caves of Bronson Canyon! SEE: A nap… after a picnic! And let me tell ya boils n’ ghouls, all of that pulse pounding excitement is only in the first few minutes of reel one… of course 2 seconds later a burning object screams through the skies as pilfered footage of lizards that are supposed to be dinosaurs (and a little stop-motion dino action… also borrowed) ‘rassle!

Movie Review: Time Bandits (1981) – Criterion 4K UHD

In the safe if predictable ultra-suburbs, the last thing you’d expect is for a Medieval knight to blast forth from your wardrobe and ride his horse straight through your bedroom wall… which fades to reveal a lush forest beyond before returning to it’s normal state… but that’s exactly what happens to young Kevin (Craig Warnock). Of course that fails to compare to the following night’s visitors… namely Randall (David Rappaport)and his diminutive band of thieves; thieves that have stolen a map of time portals from the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson) in the pursuit of pilfering history’s great treasures, and ol’ S.B. is none to happy about that biz… and soon Kevin finds himself tumbling through the time-stream with his new found friends! Along the way, Kev and the lads rub elbows with the likes of Napoleon (Ian Holm), Robin Hood (John Cleese), and King Agamemnon (Sean Connery)… the latter of which becomes a kind of surrogate father (as his real
