Tireless Monster Shack proof-reader Sean Ledden has once again come through and delivered a quick-and-dirty review of the newest sci-flick on the block: Cloverfield. I'm still thinking this could have been a lot better, but don't take my word for it: Check out Sean's review and see for yourself.

After a much deserved Easter break, I'm back in the saddle with a delightful gem of a movie called Zombie Lake. If any movie ever deserved to be featured on this site, it's definitely this one.

Feburary 26, 2008

Somehow, with the help of mass quantities of beer and chips, I managed to complete Dracula vs Frankenstein...I'm outta here. After that and 'Megaforce' within 2 weeks of each other, I'm taking a long deserved rest...at least for tonight so I can play some much deserved Guitar Hero 3.

Feeling lucky? Try a random review...

Roundtable: Incompetent Invasions (May 2008)

Pathetic aliens trying to invade Earth. You gonna invade US?! Getouddahere! What a bunch of maroons. We send them packing with our merciless reviews:

The Galaxy Invader (Dennis Grisbeck)

UFO: Target Earth (Sean Ledden)

Battlefield Earth (Karl Hoegle)

Godzilla: Final Wars (Scot Nolan)

Cloverfield (2008)

Thanks to Sean for this fun review of the newest monster flick on the block: Cloverfield. I still don't know just what the hell it's supposed to be because the film's so blurry all the time...maybe it's for the best.

Zombie Lake (1981)

I heard a lot about this movie and finally bought it from E-bay. I should have listened to that inner voice that was shouting 'Run away!'...but I didn't. Now you can share in the pain as well.

Dracula vs Frankenstein (1971)

This movie really had me considering picking up a new hobby. This one just sucked. See the two monster icons Count D and big Frank stumble around trying to get ahold of a serum to create an army of indestructable vampires. I think that's what he said. My brain died about 90 minutes ago.

A proud contribution to the 'VS' roundtable.

Megaforce (1982)

See the world's most advanced fighting force ride their battle-bikes into a showdown with Evil! Well, it's not really that exciting but it's pretty damned cheesy and there's lot of thumb kissing. You'll see what I mean.

Roundtable: Steven Seagal: A Senior Super Hero (Jan 2008)

A closer look at a faded superstar who still likes to blow stuff up, kick people in the nuts, and generally beat the crap out of everybody:

On Deadly Ground (Dennis Grisbeck)

Submerged (Sean Ledden)

Exit Wounds (Karl Hoegle)

Damnation Alley (1977)

Fairly painless 1970's post-apacolyptic cheese...you could do a lot worse. Then again, you could do a hell of a lot better also. Be sure to check out the coolest truck of all time: The Land Master! Huzzah!

Search For The Beast (1997)

One of the cheapest movies I've ever seen...I mean, we're talking 'Monster-A Go Go' cheap. Dr. Stone and his brave band of rednecks hike through the woods, set up camp, hike through the woods, break down camp, hike through the woods, then get attacked by a guy in a gorilla suit. Actually, it's really much, much worse than that...

Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster (1965)

Mull the carpet monster helps the Uncle Fester-esque Dr. Nadir and Princess Marcuza capture Puerto Rico's bikini babes. Oh, and there's a guy named Frank in the movie to. Get it? Frank?...that's as good as it gets, folks.
