It's silly with a sense of fun, but the script isn't as smart as John Sayles' original. There're plenty of ridiculous elements and there is lots of meaty gore, and the carnage is all the more enjoyable to watch since the fish food is a group of annoying college kids... |

A great piece of 50s-style creature feature fun, shot through with 70s black humour and social commentary, a healthy dose of eco-horror, aided by some fine performances from a veritable wall of B-movie talent. John Sayles' script is whip-smart, Joe Dante gets everything he can out of his cast... |

Those who have seen an Emanuelle film will know, in general terms, what to expect from the premise. Laura Gemser reprises her role as tabloid reporter Emanuelle, and she is tasked by her superiors to travel to India to do a story on a tantric sex god... |

Despite a bit of foo foo time during the set up, Born to Fight is almost non-stop greatness. The movie is brimming with kick ass, improbable action set pieces, and when it's not laying the smack down it's one of the funniest unintentional comedies I've seen in ages... |

Stuart Gordon is an enigma: Re-Animator, Edmond and the director's Masters of Horror episodes confirm him as a filmmaker who can brilliantly translate highly tense material to the screen. On the other hand, Castle Freak is completely inadequate as a Lovecraft paean... |

Humanoids From The Deep should be in your collection. It's really as simple as that. A wildly entertaining B-film with enough blood, boobs and men in rubber suits to slake anyone's thirst for monster-movie
madness... |

It seems to me that nowadays the measure of a good genre director isn't his skill or his following, but rather how often his films are remade. Wes Craven, John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper are part of that 'we've been remade' club, but the king must be George Romero... |

Luc Besson's output has generally been strong, but Leon: The Professional is his masterpiece. Two hyper-kinetic action sequences bookend a character driven exercise in drama, consummately performed by Jean Reno and Natalie Portman in her first role... |

If you're a fan of classic bikes you'll cringe at the vehicular abuse but there is plenty to enjoy. If Troma made a remake of Stone starring Zoltan: Hound of Dracula this would be it! Forget the simpering tween vampires of Twilight, rev up your engines and buy a vampire motorcycle... |

I guess one could look at this as being a rip-off of Alien, Forbidden Planet and Planet Of The Vampires combined, or maybe as a foreshadowing of Aliens or Event Horizon, and in both cases, you'd actually be correct... |

Jaa whoops some serious ass in this movie, with a new Muay Thai style that I guess is Elephant Style. This style is more focused on grab and break than the high-flying of Ong Bak, but it's still a vicious, brutal art when Jaa goes off... |

It's okay for Jaa to take a few years between movies to achieve greatness, but I expect greatness then, dammit. Jaa will be out of his prime sooner rather than later, and at his current rate of production we may only get a total of 5 films from him while he's at his peak.
