The Big Picture (1989)

Posted on December 1, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Kevin Bacon comedies in the 80’s didn’t hit big, however, The Big Picture from Christopher Guest stood the test of time and is a film that still gets in on the conversation today.

Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)

Posted on October 12, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Directed by Amando de Ossorio Tombs of the Blind Dead is Spanish/Portuguese co-production that has a turbulent history of releases to get it in front of the audience yet still a perfect Halloween watch in 2024.

Revenge of the Living Dead Girls (1987)

Posted on October 5, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Revenge of the Living Dead Girls is a curious title that begs a view. A cheap french zombie flick with quite the twist and some nasty gore!

Renegades (2017)

Posted on June 8, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Renegades has been sitting in my “to watch” pile for about a number of years.
Written by Luc Besson and Richard Wenk (Taken and The Equaliser), there should be some treasure to be found in this story or Navy Seals looking for lost… treasure.

Top Line (1988)

Posted on June 1, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Top Line is a mess and it’s a great shame as there are some great ideas early on for a spirited adventure before things take a ridiculous sci-fi turn in the last 20 minutes.

The Squeeze (1977)

Posted on May 18, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

The Squeeze from 1977 is really a combination of the talent involved to keep things entertaining and thrilling. A forgotten British thriller that needs to be resurrected!

Shallow Grave (1987)

Posted on April 27, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

All involved deserve more credit than they got for Shallow Grave as it’s a solid winner that benefits from its cheap feel and it is honestly a pretty unexpected success.

Rangers (2000)

Posted on April 13, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Rangers (2000) stitches together a direct-to-video thriller with quality action sequences from the bigger, better movies. The results are craptacular!

Time Runner (1993)

Posted on February 24, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Mark Hamill stars in “Time Runner,” a subpar time travel film that mixes clever concepts with a confusing plot and inconsistent pacing. Despite a strong opening, its focus on action over coherent storytelling and underutilized ideas results in a routine sci-fi chase lacking depth.

The Time Guardian (1987)

Posted on February 10, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Despite a concept of a time-traveling city and Carrie Fisher’s involvement, “The Time Guardian” disappoints with a lackluster plot, underdeveloped villains, and unconvincing effects.
