Hitcher in the Dark (1989)

Posted on November 5, 2022January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Hitcher in the Dark doesn’t really have too much going for it, however, it manages to stay entertaining with some bolder storytelling moments

Beast (2022)

Posted on October 29, 2022November 4, 2025 by garethmyles

There is no hiding my excitement for this creature feature. Having endured the disappointing Endangered Species on Netflix recently my thirst for an old fashioned, Human vs. Beast was wet, but not quenched.

Island of the Fishmen (1979)

Posted on October 22, 2022January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

I had a fun time with Island of the Fishmen, or Island of Mutations, or L’isola degli uomini pesce, or the original cut of Something Waits in the Dark or Screamers, whatever you want to call it…

10 to Midnight (1983)

Posted on October 8, 2022November 2, 2025 by garethmyles

Bronson plays an ageing detective, taking on a younger by-the-book protégé. Together they must track down a mysterious serial killer who is targeting young ladies.

Night Game (1989)

Posted on August 27, 2022January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Roy Scheider had an incredible run of terrific movies, however, every run has to come to an end and Night Game (1989) is anything but a home run.

Last Seen Alive (2022)

Posted on August 2, 2022January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

There is little to separate Last Seen Alive from The Vanishing or the Kurt Russell thriller Breakdown as from them being much better.

Freebie and the Bean (1974)

Posted on July 27, 2022January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Freebie and The Bean followed a simple but robust plot-line that allows for the cops to have the time for some interesting misadventures whilst the story carries on in the background.

Gung Ho (1986)

Posted on July 12, 2022January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Gung Ho is a lightweight comedy without much in the way of memorable moments. Aside from a fun , if problematic, performance from Michael Keaton.

Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe

Posted on June 29, 2022November 4, 2025 by garethmyles

It was nice to spend some time with these two again and on a new adventure. This is almost a forgotten slice of culture and taking stock over the years I realise I was a bigger fan of Beavis and Butthead than I thought.

Cop (1988)

Posted on June 18, 2022November 13, 2025 by garethmyles

Cop isn’t action focused, it is entirely a character study of a desperate, corrupt man painted around the background of catching a killer and the wake of upset he leaves in the pursuit.
