A Boy & His Dog
Hal Baylor, Susanne Benton
FIRST RUN FEATURES, 2003
As good as Dr. Strange Love and BladeRunner
The title for the review speaks volumes: in my opinion this as good as the above listed SciFi films. This is not the Don of Miami vice or the Alvy Moore of Green Acres or the Jason Robards of Once Upon a Time in the West. LQ Jones, Dodo McQueen, writes a suberb script. It's the vision of the ...

Damnation Alley
Jan-Michael Vincent, George Peppard
Key Video
Excellant Campy Sci-Fi flick
+ Damnnation Alley
+ Days gone by
I have seen this movie several times and never get sick of it (if I don't watch it too frequently). I agree with most of the other reviewers in that it has to rank up there as one of the best sci-fi flicks (before they started all the high tech special effects). It's akin to watching the master ...

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Mel Gibson, Tina Turner
Warner Home Video, 1997
No future in feudalism and slavery
+ Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
The motor vehicles are going to be there, even a plane. The desert is going to be there too. But the whole world has regressed for a reason we don't know - but do we care? - losing all its technology and its energy. But Mel Gibson takes the orientation that humanity will not regress in ...

Tank Girl
Lori Petty, Ice-T
MGM (Video & DVD), 2001
Keeping comic book movies comical
+ classic film baby
+ Best movie, ever
This campy cult classic keeps on delivering. Maybe parts of the sound track are stuck in the mid-90s. Despite that, the after-the-crash survivalism (a la Mad Max or Resident Evil), the evil corporate lords, and the over-the top goofiness all remain as fresh as Tank Girl's mouth.
The plot? Well, ...

Forget what you've heard, it's not that bad.
+ I know MANY people don't like it but I DO!
Thousands of people all over the world want to come out and denounce this movie as terrible. Why? Because some people just don't want to be laughed at for liking something other people don't. This film was HYPED as bad before it even opened. That's right, hyped. It died before it ever got a ...
