The Lord Protector (1996)
Funy escapism.
Narrated by Chuck Heston, you can tell he did only one take on some of the entries due to the inflection. Musetta Vander has one short scene, love ya Mu, wish there were more of you in this! Cassidy tries hard, and keep up the effort, but I have to say that Jonathan Fuller's performance makes the film watchable. If you're into D&D and renaissance festivals, you might find this fun. One of my best friends lost his shirt investing in this, but he has since gotten back on his feet. Yes, the producers had done a number of successful films in the past, and everyone is allowed a turkey or two. I just wish it hadn't been this one. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars, but 3 of them are because of John as Malthon/Nohtlam. The bit with the hand that has a mind of its own is a blast. I noticed they fixed some of the soundtrack issues when they re-named the film, and more of a back story would have helped. Still, with a few disjointed scenes and all it is a fun escapism film.
Short Circuit 2 (1988)
Filmed in Toronto...
Some would sat it is not as good as the first film, and includes a scene that was in the closing credits of the first. I wondered where that scene went, and there it was. I lived in Toronto when it was filmed and my car actually appears in one scene. Seeing all those American flags all over the "old" city hall was puzzling. The film is reasonable considering how quickly it was put together. If yo9u liked the original, you should like this one. The robot is now famous and lacks his laser weapon due to moral concerns of his own. I find it a wonderful study in artificial intelligence, and robotics. The telepresence robot is still impressive to this day, second only to the "Chucky" robots. From a technical and philosophical standpoint I find it throroughly enjoyable. I like this move a lot, and recommend it. There are certain aspects that are more serious that the original, and you might find yourself liking it better than the original if you didn't like the campy flavour.
The Creeping Terror (1964)
Beyond AWFUL!
Invariably, when the subject of the worst film ever made comes up, people tend to automatically accuse Plan 9 from outer space. This is not so! The Creeping Terror is far worse. Simply the worst film ever committed to celluloid, it isn't even worth seeing half a time. It is so bad in fact that it is even beyond seeing for the sake of seeing it! I love bad movies, especially ones so bad they are good; such as "Spaceship" but this is just... awful. Words simply fail. I cannot bear to go into detail.
I gave it a "1" because there was no provision for a "0" or a negative number. Watch it once, and you're set. This film will make you appreciate all other films soooooo much!
