Last post by M.10rda - Today at 10:47:45 PMI love Robbie Coltrane, in everything (especially CRACKER). I assume you turned off THE FRIGHTENERS before Jeffrey Combs' Oscar-worthy performance as Agent Milton Dammers. This is Combs we're talking about so I can't claim his work in FRIGHTENERS is better than his work as Herbert West but it's better than any other performance ever given by any other actor who appears in that film, by a long walk, including most of Combs' other (fine) work.

Last post by FatFreddysCat - Today at 10:02:41 PM"Crackerjack" (1994)
After losing his family to a mob hit, a tightly wound Chicago cop (Thomas Ian Griffith) is sent on a forced vacation to an isolated resort in the Rockies. When a team of mercenaries take over the place to pull off a diamond heist, he's the only one who can stop them.
...sounds familiar?
Yes, it's another cheaply made, direct to video "Die Hard" knock off, with a slumming Christopher Plummer playing Hans Gruber to Griffith's John McClane. In spite of its total lack of originality, it's a fun, cheesy shoot-em-up that somehow spawned two sequels.

Last post by pacman000 - Today at 08:16:32 PMI think Betty Boop would be great in a horror film, but she'd need to be the protagonist, not the antagonist.
Betty Boop as a murderess = No go.
Betty Boop in a weird location, trying to escape from increasingly bizarre, frightening things, with a 30's jazz influenced score = Yes! Please!

THE FRIGHTENERS (1996)
a Peter Jackson film starring Michael J Fox that I'd never heard of? too wacky / zany with overbearing music intended to amplify the wacky zaniness. Off.
FROM HELL (2001)
'big proper film' atmosphere, but too much so... very surface. Depp's accent is fine, Heather Graham's is not. Can't take Robbie Coltrane seriously in anything other than CRACKER. Lame kills. Off.
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL (2011)
Simon Pegg is great, but he is so wrong for this. The quirky brit! oh that loveable bumbling fool! film doesn't need that... And is he the main character? where is Cruise? I swear I got to 30 minutes in and there is a lotta Pegg and no Cruise. Off.

Last post by indianasmith - Today at 04:52:50 PMPLANET OF VAMPIRE WOMEN (2011) - A group of mostly female space pirates rob an interplanetary casino/strip joint and flee from pursuing space cops to a deserted moon swept with energy storms and haunted by vampiric ghosts who begin attacking and vampirizing the crew, usually ripping their tops off in the process. That's about it - groan-inducing bad dialogue, lots of gratuitous nudity, neck-biting, and spurting blood, along with alien bugs, a topless cyborg, and incredibly cheesy special effects. Quite literally the perfect Joe Bob Briggs type B movie! 4/5
