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.

Trancers II: The Return of Jack Deth (1991)

At first glance Trancers II: The Return of Jack Deth looks to be an awesome sequel to a perfect low budget sci-fi hit. Is it?

The Specialist (1994)

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

Really this should have had a budget of around £10 million and starred a combination of the video stars of the time. The bigger glosser look doesn’t help the film or dissuade from the lack of substance.

Trancers: City of Lost Angels (1988)

This is a fun follow-up to the original and a treat for fans. Cheap, silly, funny and inventive.

Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe

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.

Trancers (1984)

Trancers is the granddaddy of direct-to-video and a mostly successful opening to the franchise.

Short Time (1990)

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

Short Time has Dabney Colman drive with complete disregard for his own personal safety, leaving a trail of carnage everywhere. Sounds incredible…

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.
