Total Reality with David Bradley. I don't feel like David Bradley is mentioned enough on this forum! Not much to say about the movie. They obviously ran out of budget at the end of the movie, because the Good guys from the future have the exact same dark nefarious looking spaceship at the Bad guys the "Bridges." Unless that is a ruse or cliff hanger for some future sequel.

David Bradley only does Karate like once or for one scene in the movie. Well that is still more than some of Jean Claude Van Damme's movies. I am still confused too as to how the future changed so much based on what the task force send back in time supposedly did. And it kind of appears as though it exonerates or lies to us about who the bad guys were.

David Bradley aka "Walder Frey" does karate?!

EDIT: Okay, sorry, I looked up your movie and it's a totally different David Bradley whom I was unfamiliar with - hence I haven't mentioned him on this forum!

All I know about him is that he is in about ten movies! I think Total Reality made in 1997 is actually the last movie he was in. Why that is I don't know. I feel like the guy was kind of double bang for the buck. Because he seemed like a fairly decent B actor. Sort of like Meilani Paul — I put her in that decent B movie actor list. From what I said David Bradley is from Plano Texas.

Now I was actually born in Texas. When I saw David Bradley I could have sworn he was a New Yorker or maybe New Jersey. He has sort of that Ed Marinaro look about him. People in Texas many of them, are adamant that if you are from somewhere north of Oklahoma then you are a yankee. So yeah. But Plano Texas (where David Bradley is from) is a different bag. Alan Tudyk (Resident Alien) was born in Plano. Well some places say he grew up there. Umm..So yeah Plano is like a different sort of Texas. Usually rich people like Bankers, Lawyers doctors, professional athletes..And apparently actors live there. So whatever. I think we are all people no matter where we are from. So moving past that.

He looks like he is pretty good at Karate. This David Bradley. I haven't seen any of his movies but now I kind of want to. I feel like if Resident Evil (the movie, not the video game) was made ten years earlier this David Bradley would have been perfect as one of those Umbrella corporation guys that have to go in and look for survivors or clean up the mess or what ever. Do the karate and climb on walls to avoid those killer lasers.

Sometimes I wish reality was flipped like on the Resident evil franchise. Like make the movies starting in 1997 — like exactly like the ones we saw. And make the video games like in 2004. And one of the actors Thomas Kretschmann from Total Reality is actually in a Resident evil movie. He plays some henchman for Umbrella corporation. He kind of reminds me of a german Patrick Swayze. Pretty funny when you put that connnection together (Cinematic Feng shui  :lookingup: )

Somewhere in California, a fairly adequate looking kaiju busts out of a mountain & starts destroying some decent looking miniatures....
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, an off duty postal worker is visited by a six inch tall alien disguised as a "teenage mall tramp".... She tells him he's been selected by a superior race to save the Earth from Zarkorr, because he's the most ordinary man on Earth... He decides to enlist the help of a pretty young cryptozoologist who's being interviewed by an unenthusiastic anchor at a local television station, but a series of misunderstandings, and rather dated jokes about postal workers (you had to be there) lead to a standoff with police....

From a pretty blurry VHS rip..... The segments tend to linger for long periods of time, but the jokes and frantic pacing, along with the interspersed scenes of the monster trashing sets, manage to keep it from getting dull

Nature's Grave with Jim Caviezel.
Do murquis have stomache bacteria to digest are warships from Kayusha going to Iran word of mouth.

Yeah so.. Hard for me to believe that I sat through what should have been like a twenty minute long indy film. And in my opinion it would have rocked really solid as that. This movie "Nature's Grave" has taken over the top number 1 spot of movies that feel like really long and drawn out indy films. Previous number 1 in that was Blair Witch Project.
I have been on some pretty crazy adventures in my day. And I have never had a hawk (or hawk/eagle thing) attack me out in the woods. And to the extent that it was trying to rip off my face. Really that scene to me was the evidence of the twenty minute indy film marker. Anything above that (that I choose to watch) is pain and torture that I choose to inflict on myself.
Movies like this I feel like are hard to review. But Jim Caviezel is quickly turning into a Shirley maclaine with all of the fantasy esoteric new age beliefs. People say no, that it is faith based. I say, New Age. And probably most things calling themselves faith based are New Age. So anything where I can watch Jim Caviezel in a movie, even if the movie is an hour longer extended over what it should be — I will take. I will trudge through — over him doing some interview and talking about how he was nearly Killed by lightning on a movie set and saw Michael the Arch Angel..
