The Company of Wolves

The Company of Wolves is a fresh and interesting take on the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Irish direction Neil Jordan, who you may know from The Crying Game and Interview With the Vampire, does a spectacular job of adapting Angela Carters short story of the same name.

The film follows young Rosaleen (Sarah Patterson) as she struggles to deal with her growing maturity and growing sexuality. Oh, there's werewolves in this film to. Here is the link to my Company of Wolves review.

Prisoners of the Lost Universe

Prisoners of the Lost Universe is one of those rare achievements in cinema. It really takes a special brand of crappiness to force a film from the 1980s into the public domain. But, here it is in all of its glory.

John Saxon is the villain in this bad boy. Apparently his career died with Bruce, and he was forced into playing in crappy sci-fi movies, and to live on Elm Street.

In any case, the credits aren't really worth listing, but if you want some stupid sci-fi entertainment, then enjoy.



Great sci-fi movies

Ernest Saves Christmas

Ernest Saves Christmas is one of those special movies that brings out the best in all of us. Is it some complex story that takes a look at what makes us all special, and why the season brings out the best in us? Nope. But, it is a solid movie, and Jim Varney (RIP) is pretty funny as the lovable-bumbling Ernest.

I've loved this movie ever since I was a little kid, and it remains one of my favorites, even to this day.

April Fools Day

April Fools Day is your typical horror movie 80s style. I like this movie though because you have a little mystery going here. Of course it's not a scary nail biting who-dun-it, but it's a pretty entertaining movie if you're into 80s slasher films.

A nice addition to this movie is that we get Biff from Back to the Future running around, doing his Biff thing.

April Fools Day is worth a watch for all those 80s horror movie fans.

Friday the 13th 1980

Friday the 13th is nothing less than a classic. It kicked off the 80s with a bang, and provided a glimpse as to what the horror genre would become throughout the decade. We some good special effects and the shock ending is lengendary. Overall Friday the 13 needs to be seen by any fan of horror from the 1980s forward.

Best Horror Movies of the 80s

Tango & Cash

I don't intend to bookmark a lot of mainstream newer movies, but Tango & Cash is one of those movies that captures the human spirit (jk). This is a stupid buddy cop movie that I have to admit I love. It's more over-the-top than Over The Top was, and it's a lot of fun to watch.

Enjoy the Italian Stallion and Jack Burton doing what they do.
