The Fly (Remake) Horror movies were going through a weird state of required ultra cheesiness during the decade of the 1950s, as every film of that genre was really intended to be a “monster movie” of some sort, usually of the truly non scary variety, where the main selling point would be based around the […]

Fly 2 Most sequels to classic films almost always know in general that they have a tough act to follow which in the end usually comes down to the exact execution of said sequel in terms of its quality. Case in point is this 1989 release which tasked itself as being an all purpose follow […]

Flyboys While watching this flick about the world’s first fighter pilots in World War I, this viewer found himself thinking that this is a classic case of a film being grossly OVERproduced: Everything is too cleaned up and neat, the cinematography tries to be a work of art on every shot, and the lighting is […]

48 Hrs The Buddy Movie is one that follows the rules of a certain formula and sticks to it, usually featuring two major stars teamed together to solve the case, get the money, etc, all while exchanging snappy repartee and one liners with each other as any sense of a major female lead is nearly […]

40 Year Old Virgin Sometimes a successful movie can come out that while being good in and of itself, can set off a wave of really bad movies that try to replicate its success (usually with the same actors to varying degrees) only to show that many of those elements that made the initial film […]
