Directed by Kurt Neumann Run Time: 78 minutes Tagline: PLANET ROBBER TRAMPLES EARTH…STEALING ENERGY FOR OTHER WORLDS! Kronos is a little 50’s sci-fi treat that I somehow missed earlier in my misspent life. And since I thoroughly enjoyed it I’m going to feel a little guilty as I make fun […] Directed by M. Night Shyamalan Written by M. Night Shyamalan Co-Starring M. Night Shyamalan Produced by M. Night Shyamalan Run Time: 109 Minutes Tagline: Time is running out for a happy ending. Like most people on the planet, I was terrifically impressed by […] Directed by Ishiro Honda Run Time: 89 minutes Tagline: Discover the incredible world of tomorrow…15 miles straight down at LATITUDE ZERO! The sci-fi world of the late 60’s saw a number of weird Anglo-Japanese mutations spring to life, like the terrifying space-born menace, The Green Slime. And just as wondrously, […] Directed by Ishii, Akira Mitsuwa, Koreyoshi Akasakai Written by Ichiro Miyagawa Tagline: “When evil Space Nazis from the Sapphire Galaxy seek to destroy the earth, only a Japanese man of steel in white tights can save us!” (OK, I made that up. I couldn’t find an official tagline.) Run Time: […] ATTACK OF THE SCI-FI SOAP OPERA SERIALPART THREE By Sean Ledden
War of the Worlds – or – quality time with the kids And now, regrettably, we come back full-circle to Monsieur Spielberg. Remember how I complained in Close Encounters of the Third Kind of our long immersion into Neary household […] ATTACK OF THE SCI-FI SOAP OPERA SERIAL PART TWO by Sean Ledden Mission to MUSH (OOPS, I mean MARS) Mission to Mars came out in 2000, and unlike Contact, it avoids the God question entirely. This should be refreshing, but unfortunately it is so besotted with sex and romance it […] In this very special guest review, Sean Ledden takes on the mightiest monkey of them all: Mighty Peking Man! Thanks again! So with no further ado, I now turn the floor over to Sean and the….
1977 was a banner year for science fiction with the release of two true classics, […] Produced by J. J. Abrams Tagline: “Some Thing Has Found Us” A guest review by stalwart contributor Sean Ledden Most of the movies ridiculed, I mean critiqued, at the Monster Shack are prehistoric artifacts from a murky past. Born from the swampy fringes of a by-gone Hollywood, they lumbered across the […] Directed by Roger Christian Written by L. Ron Hubbard, Corey Mandell, J.D. Shapiro Tagline: “Prepare For Battle” Run Time: 119 minutes Review by Karl Hoegle This “movie” starts out with exciting slime green lettering informing us that it is now the year 3000, and Earth has been ruled […] Prologue: The phrase “Lamest Space Invasion Ever” instantly brings to my mind the 1964 Larry Buchanan classic “Attack of the the Eye Creatures.” (Sic) In it, a small number of extras in appallingly cheap and incomplete costumes stumble blindly (ha ha!) around a backwater lover’s lane. They leave their plastic flying saucer completely unguarded, thus […] Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak Tagline: " What Can Two Men Do Against A Gang Of Crooked Cops? Whatever It Takes." Run Time: An 101 excruciating minutes. Sigh. Review by Karl Hoegle Let me start this review (my first!) out with an astonishing fact: OUR HERO does not repeat not […] Directed by Anthony Hickox Tagline: “Under water, under cover.” Run Time: 94 min Review by Sean Ledden Like its doughy, stone-faced hero, Submerged is tough. Brutal. Ruthless. It wastes no time before starting to beat the crap out of the viewer with a headache inducing jackhammer montage similar […] Directed by Nancy Walker Tagline: “The Musical Comedy Smash of the 80’s!” Run Time: 124 minutes A guest review by Sean Ledden Back Story Early in the 1970’s French pop composer Jacques Morali moved to the U.S. , where he fell in love with the dazzling Manhattan scene, […] Directed by Erich von Stroheim Run Time: 92 minutes A guest review by Nathan Decker This is a bit of a new challenge for me. I’m used to reviewing trashy sci-fi and monster movies, which are normally full of busty girls and exploding helicopters, films that you can pretty much turn […] ATTACK OF THE SCI-FI SOAP OPERA SERIAL PART ONE by Sean Ledden PROLOGUE A couple of weeks ago my trusty TV of 14 years died a quick and unexpected death. Grief-stricken, I rushed out to buy a new flat-screen LCD and celebrated by watching some of my favorite old wide-screen spectacles, including […] |
