DR GIGGLES- 1992 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A deranged serial killer/whack doctor escapes from a mental institution and goes on a killing spree. He takes a liking to Jennifer, a teenage girl with a big heart (that he wants).

Ok i expected this to be absolutely awful, which it was. But it was also strangely watchable. Fun early 90s vibes and the slasher format worked well. The dr was trash i couldnt stand his fucking ass but was occasionally so dumb youd chuckle a bit. Mark this up as a guilty pleasure. Nice to see my man Glenn Quinn, Rest in Peace.

Body Count: 17.

PREDATOR 2- 1990 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A predator who hunts for sport moves to Los Angleles to tear apart drug runners and street gangs to build up momentum to take on his biggest challenge yet, Danny Glovers.

I enjoy this sequel, i like the setting, i like the action, i like the Bill Paxton.

Danny Glover agreed to be in this film because "he knew of few films where a black man fought a supernatural being".

NEVER BACK DOWN- 2008 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Never give up. Never back down.

Jake is left with major anger issues after his dad dies in a car wreck. He moves to a new school and quickly falls for Baja (a lady). He goes to a party she invites him to only to be beaten down in front of the whole school by martial arts bully Ryan McCarthy. After the humiliating defeat, Jake starts training in MMA under the tutilage of his new mentor Mr Miyagi, i mean Jean Roqua. He gets bigger and better, but is he good enough to beat Ryan at the beatdown?

Fucking love this film. Unfairly slated. Sure its cliche filled and insanely predictable, but who cares? I certainly dont. Never Back Down is action packed and a total blast, love all the fight scenes and great training montages that get you pumped up. Enjoyable characters and cast. Djimon Hounsou great in the mentor role. Cam Gigandet is an underated villain, between this and Twilight his legacy is eternal. This film has a great feel good factor for me and gives me big nostalgia. Love it.

One of my favourite movies.

EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS- 2002 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chris (David Arquette) returns to his home town after many years away. Toxic waste infects spiders and makes them massive and hungry. He rallies the town people to fight back...

Fairly fun 2000's horror comedy. The cgi is absolutely awful and it drags a little in the second half but not a bad watch.

KICKBOXER 2- 1991 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

David Sloan is a kickboxer like his brothers before him. He just wants to teach but is being pressed by slimeballs who want to shut his gym down. Hes forced to fight competitively which puts him on a collision course with Dong Po, the Thai madman who killed his brothers...

Pretty fun action film. Filled with cliches and kicking. Not as good as the first one.

LISA FRANKENSTEIN- 2024 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Id really hoped for more...

An outcast teen and her Frankenstein monster go on a killing spree for new parts...

Liked the style of the film. Some cool 80s vibes. Kathryn Newton is a good guy. A few funny lines here and their.

This just didnt come together that well for me. Thought the Frankenstein guy was rubbish and the film wouldve been better without him. Often felt like it was trying to be a future cult classic.

OVER THE TOP- 1987 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lincoln Hawk (Sylvester Stallone) is a grizzly truck driver who makes money arm wrestling on the side. He reunites with the son he abandoned and takes him across the country while his evil rich stepdad sends goons to retrieve him. He must arm wrestle his way to success.

Its the American dream. Dumb movie, funny as hell. Its insane to build a full movie around arm wrestling which isnt even remotely interesting to watch. Him and his sons workout montage was hilarious.

WRONG TURN 2- 2007 ⭐️⭐️

A group of reality show contestants living in the wilderness are attacked by the hungry cannibals that live in the woods.

Lame uninspired horror. The first ones a classic but this is trash. Not scary and some of the characters are brutal.

CROSSROADS- 2002 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Three childhood friends who have drifted apart dig up their time capsule after graduation. It reminds them of what used to be. They decide to reunite and take a cross country trip. Also, one of them is Britney Spears.

Fun teen movie! Nowhere near as bad as people say. Good 2000s vibes, pleasant atmosphere and some silly plot moments slide this nicely into the guilty pleasure zone. A bit too much singing. Britneys actually good and better than the other two gang members.

PREDATOR- 1987 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If it bleeds, we can kill it...

Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his team are the best of the best. They're sent into the jungle to rescue some hostages. They soon realise theyre being targeted by a vicious monster who kills for sport...

Brilliant! Insanely fun action movie. Love all the fellas, good bunch of brothers. Love the predator, love his style. So much shooting? Quality film. Five stars.

Directed by John McTiernan.

IMMACULATE- 2024 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cecilia takes a position as a nun at a covent in the italian countryside. She soon discovers her new home harbours dark secrets and her life is in danger...

Suitably spooky new horror film!

I liked the setting and the atmosphere very much. A few scary spots. Sydney Sweeney was good. An enjoyable watch.

ALONE IN THE DARK- 2005 ⭐️

A paranormal investigator battles otherwordly demons in this insanely awful scifi horror film. Director by crazy German Director Uwe Boll who was famously sick of his films being panned and arranged a series of "exhibition boxing matches" with reviewers who had criticised him. He had been secretly training for months and destroyed them. Hilarious. He is truly awful as a director though this is one of the worst films ive ever seen and not in a funny way at all. Tara Reid and Christian Slater are both top guys and did nothing for me.

Imdb rating: 2.4. Rotten Tomatoes: 1%.

DODGEBALL- 2004 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughan) has 30 days to raise 50,000 dollars to stop his gym being bought out by his rival White Goodman (Ben Stiller). Him and his ragtag team of goofy guys enter a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament to win the money they need....

Classic 2000s comedy. Good underdog story and feelgood factor. Dumb as hell. White Goodman's scenes with Kate are all gold. Very easy to watch. Great movie.

RAGING BULL- 1980 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story of champion boxer Jake LaMotta.

When hes out of the ring his paranoia leads to constant clashes with the people in his life....

Great drama. Good story and dialogue.

More like Cake LaMotta!

Directed by Martin Scorcese.

OFFICE KILLER- 1997 ⭐️⭐️

A quiet office worker accidentally kills a colleague, she gets a taste for it them decides to take out the rest of the office.

Had high hopes for this but wasnt enjoyable at all. The Carol Kane character sucked and that was the main issue. Good supporting cast and 90s vibes but not enough to make this watchable.

HIGH ROLLER: THE STU UNGAR STORY- 2003 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Michael Imperioli stars as Stu Ungar, a poker prodigy who gambles out with his means and gets in trouble with the mob...

A fairly enjoyable if at points amateurish movie. I dont love the stranger in his room that hes telling the story to. It doesnt seem even remotely believable. Nice to see Imperioli do scenes with Bobby.

DETROIT ROCK CITY- 1999 ⭐️⭐️

A kiss tribute band who are also best friends have plans to see their favourite band live in Detroit but things keep going awry on the way...

Yikes! What a bunch of sacks these guys are. Absolutely unbearable fellas, cringe.
