Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind (1980)

The best of the blockbuster parodies

[28 August 2001]

Also see Hardware Wars, Porklips Now, and Bambi vs Godzilla, all available on a tape from Pyramid films, this was the most amazing and clever and well produced of all the parodies, almost as good as the MTV parody of Se7en starring William Shatner. Fun fun.

The Triangle (2001 TV Movie)

Same plot line different day

[6/10 · 12 August 2001]

The most interesting thing about this movie is the cruise liner special effects, you can tell it's a computer generated (CG) image, but it fits perfectly with the water and the little fishing boat our courageous heros are in.

The plot is tried and true, good people go someplace evil and let the evil there possess them. It's been done better.

Waking the Dead (2000)

Surprisingly powerful film

[10/10 · 22 May 2001]

Subtle acting and lots of talking tells the story of a love that will not die, our hero and heroine are star-crossed but that in many ways is what fuels their passion.

Despite the constant casting as the "Hot Babe" Jennifer really brings emotions to the surface, this could be a break out role for her if enough people see the movie.

A good movie is one where you understand everyone's motivations even when it causes them pain you know why they do what they do, and this is an extreme example. A character study that focuses on the drives of these individuals in a touching romantic story of how one really makes a difference in this lifetime, "...crawling toward paradise"
