Toxic Avenger The realm of low budget, exploitation cinema might also be the most hit or miss of its kind in the entire artistic landscape. While some revel in the bad Ed Wood style of filmmaking, amateur hour acting, and sloppy as hell production values, most people have little use for these types of films […]
The Toy You really have to hand it to the 80s, they were always trying out new ideas for comedies, and unlike today’s ultra baby-soft mentality when it come to material, back then if the idea was good, then political correctness be damned, even when it comes to a family movie like this one. Even […]
Toys For quite a number of years, Robin Williams was the reigning “manchild” in Hollywood movies, as many of his performances involved him exuberantly acting like a little kid, up to and including his performance as Peter Pan.

Tromeo And Juliet The minions at Troma Films and their fearless leader (Lloyd Kaufman) spent years and years trying to perfect the art of the trashy, low budget scum movie using their requisite formula (sex, nudity, foul language, and lots and lots of gore) in order to make films that would if not change the […]
