MST3K: ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE:  John Mikl Thor's mom arranges for her son to be reanimated as a zombie so he can hunt down and kill the delinquent teens who ran him over in a hit-and-run accident.  This was a really good movie for riffing, because it's fairly ridiculous but contains lots of dry patches that the riffing helps get you through.  The fight choreography is simply awful, there's an annoying medical examiner with a voice stuck somewhere between Peter Falk and Donald Duck, Tia Carrere provides some eye candy, and the guys have fun with Adam West's paycheck-collecting performance ("he had more expressions when he was wearing a mask!")  Lots of laughs throughout.  The host segments are disappointing and keep this from being a classic to me.  4/5.

Fire and Ice (1983). A wonderful, dynamic animated fantasy that has everything you'd want-fierce beasts, an evil sorcerer-king that can control glaciers, a king who dwells among active volcanoes, a princess in danger, epic battles, and two brave heroes. God, Darkwolf is just so bada$$! 9/10.

Cool World (1992) I know that many people loathe this movie, but I liked it a lot. I enjoy any movie where live action and animated characters interact, so despite some flaws, this was a treat for me. My advice is to treat this movie as a distinct entity instead of comparing it to other movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, not to go in expecting anything specific, and enjoy it for the wild, madcap, random, screwed-up, weird ride that it is. 7.5/10.

THE GATE (1987): A gateway to Hell opens in a suburban kid's backyard.  Horror aimed at preteens and young teens, and it's decent on that level; the claymation mini-demons are memorable.  2.5/5.

Actually those are not claymation.

There's a cute blonde, too, who gets into wet underwear.

Well, they're stop motion, right?  That's what I meant.  I was imprecise.

I can't believe you confused stop motion with clay mation.  I feel like killing MYSELF FOR you

Wonder Woman: It is animated movie from DC about Wonder Woman and her origins.  It is a pretty darn good movie with a well written plot about her quest to stop Ares, God of War from doing... I don't know.  That's the only thing I didn't get.  Probably missed what he said.  The animation is pretty different from what I usually see in animated thing from DC but it wasn't too bad.  The voice acting was great and very well done, with the villian (Voiced by the guy who was Dr. Octopus in Spider-Man 2 surprisingly) being extremely well down.

While good, the downside I see with the movie is that it is very violent and brutual.  People hacked by swords, shot down by arrows, and some are beheaded.  While it may not be a gigantic problem, it may catch a lot of people off guard and shock them.  Someone of the deaths also seem also odd.  I find it odd that Wonder Woman snapped a guy's neck.  

Anyways, it was a fun movie and I would recommend it to any comic book, Wonder Woman, or plain fan of epic stories.  Just don't let the younger kiddies see this.

Call Of Cthulhu (2005) - A wonderfully done adaptation of HP Lovecraft's classic tale of terror.  This 2005 silent film  (made look like a silent movie from days past) truly captures, through basic visuals and dark music, the theme of the literary work.  Its on Netflix as of this posting to stream, check it out.

The Lost Boys (1987)

Lots of good fun! I give it 9.7 out of 13 stars.  I want to see the sequel now, even though I know nothing about it.

I watched a horror flick called OPEN GRAVES this week.  It was quite good!  A haunted board game will either kill you if you lose or grant you your heart's desire if you win.  Would you play?

Bloody Mary (2006)- Well directed, great lighting effects (a la Argento), but horrible script and abysmal acting.  Would have been great if they would have either run with the silliness or wrote a better script.  Seriously.  Every character is either a b***h or a douche.   

End of the Line (2007)- Very creepy, very intense movie.

No, they were actors.
Check out the imdb trivia section for it.
I was shocked too.

There's no need for anything that drastic.  Turns out I confused live actors for stop motion for claymation.  Live and learn.
