It looks fun... and Asylum 'Sherlock Holmes' movie was much better then I thought...

I wouldn't mind joining in once I finally get Netflix.

C'mon ladies and gents, it's The 7 Adventures of Sinbad night tonight!

Alcoholic beverages are probably a good idea 

[Jack]

Okay, I watched it.  I'm tremendously confused    It was like they tried to shoehorn the whole Sinbad thing into a regular cheeseball action/adventure movie, and just tossed in every idea they came up with, no matter if it made any sense or not.  The lead actor seemed pretty confused as to who the heck Sinbad was supposed to be as well.  

So, 10,000 years ago, a meteoroid crashed into the ocean, and caused all these weird monsters to come into existence.  Over time it got ticked off that people were polluting the environment, so it decided to destroy the planet.  Ummm...kind of cutting off the nose to spite the face, eh?  The final straw is when Sinbad's oil tanker sinks.  But wait a minute, it was sunk by the giant squid, which was created and is controlled by the meteorite.  That's one grouchy and illogical meteorite.  Anyhow, they've got 48 hours until the power runs out on the ship - um, it's 4 miles underwater? - and then the hatches will open and all the oil will spew out.  Hey, the world's coming to an end, what does it even matter?  Anyhoo, then Sinbad goes down in his minisub and extends some tube, which is actually a drill, and...what the hell happened there?  Some big cavern opened up under the sea floor and swallowed the ship?  But then  a minute later it's on the surface, still leaking oil all over the place?  But this makes the meteorite happy?

Ahhh...yeah.  I guess that's what happened.  Oh well, there were a couple hot babes in it at least.

Well, you got me to put this on my Amazon wish list...

I'll be interested in hearing what you think of it.  I was, um...befuddled.  Yeah, that's the word     My favorite part is when they're carried off by CGI pterodactyls (or somethign like that).  There's a nest of baby...somethings.  Dude, don't stick your head in there!  Oh, he stuck his head in there

The 7 Adventures of Sinbad: The Persian Prince

Wow... wow... really wow...

First, this is an Asylum, and lately Asylum has been making "rip-offs" for big budget films, Although I have not seen the Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes I did seen the Asylum version and it wasn't "that bad." Really. And I guess the people in Asylum were thinking of making a mother of "bad movies" actually I'm not sure what they were thinking because there is so much stuff going on that it seems to be 'snipped' a few areas to reduce the playtime (although I dont think it should matter since the movie was made for video and I hope Asylum can learn from this ~ 'Dont worrie about the playtime, we have a pause button).

The movie seems that is wasnt complete during filming and Asylum has additional material from another movie (I have a hard time buying this idea since 'Sinbad' is all over the place), or somebody kept switching the script (I picture a clown playing games here ~ I can actually see this happen) or the script was written by a message board with random input based upon "Sinbad" [and somebody in Asylum has thought it would be a good idea]. I'm not quite sure but I'm considering the latter.

It was like they tried to shoehorn the whole Sinbad thing into a regular cheeseball action/adventure movie, and just tossed in every idea they came up with, no matter if it made any sense or not.

Agree... this movie has everything 'including the kitchen sink.'

What surprised me... There are actually scenes from this Sinbad movie that actually mirrors  the Lou Ferrigno's Sinbad of the Seven Seas... Both movies fight sexy Amazon Ladies, a rock creature (the Cyclops looks like a rock creature), and a balloon towards the ending... there was also a few other similarities I've noticed but those stick out...

I do wish there was some evil wizard in the new version. This movie would be so much better with some crazy wizards with a Fu Manchu mustache, long fingernails and a baby dragon perched on his shoulder.

I do like the cgi effect and the whale with the trees on it's tail looked quite good. Actually I've enjoyed the flying demon too.

I do want to point out... The 7 Adventures of Sinbad: The Persian Prince was good (visually) but too depressing for me to enjoy. I think it because Asylum is trying to rip-off or have their movie compete with 2012 (I don't actually care for this kind of apocalyptic storyline) So another lesson for Asylum to learn (Asylum your not going to win any Oscars with a movie called: The 7 Adventures of Sinbad: The Persian Prince so omit the depressing feeling)

I think I should check Asylum's website... (Maybe I should post on their message boards, they sure got the right idea although they need some direction...  )

Their website is pretty funny - they know their movies are bad and they're perfectly okay with that     I really like some of their movies;  the ones that can be done well on a small budget.  It's when they try to make an epic on a couple million bucks that it fails.  At least for me.  But they explain on their site that they're in the business of staying in business, and those movies make money.  More power to them I guess

I recently watched their version of "Princess of Mars" which had Traci Lords as Dejah Thoris.

The Tharks also weren't quite what I imagined...

[Skull]

any ideas for this weekend?

[Jack]

Feel free to suggest something  

I've never seen any of these:

Shock Waves (1977)
Star Pilot (1966)
The Last House on the Left (1972)
Queen of Blood (1966)
Blood Sucking Freaks (1976)
Intruder (1989)

Any of those sound itneresting?

[Skull]

Shock Waves (1977) ~ Seen... actually I had more fun watching the new DVD version. Usually the movie is boring.

Star Pilot (1966) ~ I dont know if I did or didnt.

The Last House on the Left (1972) ~ Seen once and will never watch again... I dont see the intelligence in this movie except it's a rape revenge flick from the early 1970's when people are starting to adjust to see sex in the movies.

Queen of Blood (1966) ~ seen it (it's a must see if you didnt)

Blood Sucking Freaks (1976) ~ I've seen it, I'm not sure if my wife has but its fun... I do like the part with the darts...

Intruder (1989) ~ seen it, thought it was very typical for a slasher film.


I've guess it's Star Pilot (1966)... :)


Shock Waves, Queen of Blood and Blood Sucking Freaks are good picks (you should watch them when you can)

[Paquita]

I haven't seen Queen of Blood!  I think it sounds itneresting!  Butt! I saw that Casey Kasem is in Star Pilot and that's more interesting to me!

And just because we saw a movie already doesn't mean that it won't be fun to watch it again.

Intruder was really good! It wasn't merely "typical".  Remind me to punch you for that .

[Skull]

Please... nobody reminds Paquita to punch me...  



Oh, I guess I'm open for something I'd already seen too... :)
