Watcher (2022)

Posted on July 19, 2022March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Watcher (2022) enters into a teeming sub-genre and Watcher might just come out on top.

Trancers III: Deth Lives (1992)

Posted on July 16, 2022September 16, 2026 by garethmyles

For the second entry to suck it comes as a pleasant surprise that this follow-up manages to kick some Squid butt!

Gung Ho (1986)

Posted on July 12, 2022March 11, 2026 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)

Posted on July 9, 2022September 16, 2026 by garethmyles

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, 2022September 14, 2026 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)

Posted on July 2, 2022September 16, 2026 by garethmyles

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

Posted on June 29, 2022March 11, 2026 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.

Trancers (1984)

Posted on June 25, 2022September 16, 2026 by garethmyles

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

Short Time (1990)

Posted on June 22, 2022June 5, 2026 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, 2022March 11, 2026 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.
